This limitation does not apply to claims for personal injury. Some states do not allow limits on warranties, or on remedies for breach in certain transactions. In such states, the limits in this paragraph may not apply to you.
It is critical that all installations are done in accordance with the procedures as outlined in the Tapestry Hardwood Floors’ installation instructions which can be found online at www.Tapestryflooring.com. No damage or defects caused by improper installation or failure to provide a suitable installation environment are covered by this warranty. Failure to install your flooring in accordance with the flooring instructions will void all warranties.
The sole obligation and liability of Tapestry Wood Floors under our limited warranties is to repair, replace or refinish the floor at Tapestry Floors option. Only Tapestry Wood Floors’ floor that were professionally installed by a fully licensed contractor (in accordance to State laws) will be eligible for labor cost reimbursement. If you installed the floor yourself, we will cover the cost of replacement material only. Any and all cost must be approved by Tapestry Hardwood Floors.
MAINTENANCE
Sweep or vacuum (with soft bristle brushes) or use an untreated dust mop on your floor regularly to remove dust and dirt. Wipe up any spills or spots immediately using a slightly damp clean white cloth or paper towel. Use Bona Hardwood cleaning products for maintenance. Never use a wet cloth or mop, this can cause the floor to lose gloss level, crack, warp, bend, shrink, buckle and cause various reactions to the wood floor which will void your warranties.
COLOR CHANGE
Wood in a natural product. Color Change on all wood products are normal and the amount will vary on the amount of sunlight, heat, air conditioning etc. the floor receives. In addition, change in color with age of floor is not considered a defect. Use blinds or drapes to minimize excessive sunlight exposure on the floor. Area rugs and large pieces of furniture not moved over periods of time will block sunlight from spreading across the floor evenly, so overtime the floor under these items could change or retain original color. It’s best to rotate furniture and traffic patterns to distribute usage evenly overtime. This will also change walk patterns to get the best performance of your floor.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Due to extra long lengths and extra wide planks seasonal gaps are normal especially when the floor is installed over radiant heated systems and isn’t considered a defect. Wood can expand and contract.
Minor surface “checking” may appear during the winter months as the humidity levels rise and often in the summer as humidity levels fall.
Surface checking may also be common when installed over radiant heating systems when temperatures are not being followed based on Tapestry Hardwood Flooring installation instructions.
Gloss reduction is common with all of Tapestry Wood Floors styles, and this usually occurs when the floor is cleaned improperly. Please follow the Floor Care and Maintenance instructions.
When stapling or nailing the floor some squeaking is to be expected. Using Flooring Kraft Paper can help minimize these noises, but also adding tongue and groove adhesive such as Eurobond, D3 or other approved T&G approved adhesives will ultimately be the best solution for noise reduction.
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
After your floor is installed, it is critical to keep the temperature of the Wood Floors to a comfortable human acceptability. The temperature should be kept between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit at all times and the relative humidity should be between 35%-55% at all times. Failure to keep room setting in these parameters WILL result the floor cracking, warping, bending, buckling, dramatic shrinking, and many other visual or unevenness that will void all warranties.
No one is authorized to change the terms or coverage of this warranty other than Tapestry Hardwoods.

You many have other rights which vary from state to state.
