Engineered Wood Warranty

Limited Warranties for Engineered Hardwood Floors

 

Manufacturing Defects

Toscana Flooring (Toscana) hereby warrants to the original buyer (Buyer), the Toscana prefinished engineered hardwood floors (Toscana Engineered Wood Floors) to be free from manufacturing defects for as long as the buyer owns the home. Engineered flooring is a natural product and may have naturally occurring variations in grain and color, mineral streaks, and knots.

Finish Warranty

Toscana hereby warrants to the Buyer that the factory applied finish of the Toscana Wood Flooring will not wear through or will not lack finish adhesion as a result of normal use. A decrease in shine is not regarded as wearing through the surface coating. In the event the finish wears through or releases from the Toscana Wood Flooring, Toscana will, at its option, repair or replace the affected planks or area, prorated over the remaining life of this warranty.

This warranty is conditioned upon Toscana’s receipt of notice in writing from the Buyer of the alleged defect prior to expiration of the limited warranty period and evidence that the Toscana is not subject to any of the limitations described below.

 

Additional warranties exclusively for Engineered Floors:

Structure Warranty

Moisture Warranty

Spills of everyday household substances such as food and beverages need to be promptly cleaned up. Topical spills allowed to remain on the floor for any considerable time will damage the Toscana Wood Floor, and void this warranty. Flooding, acts of God, plumbing accidents, leaking appliances (icemakers, dishwashers, clothes washers, etc) are not topical spills and are not covered by this warranty.

Toscana engineered wood products may be installed on, above, or below grade on all common subfloors and are warranted against subfloor moisture if the following conditions are met:

*Written verification that the concrete subfloor has an acceptable reading using an electronic concrete meter; or

In the event Toscana determines that one or more of the above warranties apply to a claim by Buyer, Buyer’s exclusive remedy and Toscana’s sole liability on any claim, whether in tort, contract, or breach of warranty, shall be limited to either (1) the repair or replacement of the defective Toscana Wood Flooring for the affected area only, or (2) the refund of the applicable purchase price.

If Toscana elects to repair, or replace the Toscana Engineered Wood Flooring which has been proven defective, then Toscana will supply a new Toscana Engineered Flooring of the same color, and wood grade if available. If such is not available, or has been discontinued, Toscana reserves the right to supply a Toscana Engineered Flooring product of similar value, and appearance.

Any and all representations, promises, warranties or statements by Toscana or its agents that differ in any manner from the terms of these limited warranties shall be of no force or effect unless in writing, signed by a duly authorized officer of Toscana.

Any of the following shall void and invalidate the above limited warranties:

Visible Defects

Improper Installation

Toscana Engineered Wood Flooring must be installed properly. Toscana’s limited warranties do not cover damage or defects caused by improper installation.

 

Refinishing

Accidents, Abuse or Abnormal Wear

Toscana does not warrant for damage or defects resulting from accidents, abuses, or abnormal usage which stain or scratch the finish, diminish gloss, or indent the surface of the Toscana Wood Flooring.
