6. There may be color, tone or grain variations due to the oiling process, this is not a manufacturing defect and no claim for this will be accepted. Our products are handcrafted and because of this there may be some difference in scraping and/or texturing of the surface as a result of the natural characteristics of the materials used.

7. Product Variance From Sample and Color Variance Range of Product There is always some variance in wood tones due to the natural characteristics of hardwood. Samples which have been subjected to excessive light may be slightly different or have aged over time may not be representative of the product as it is now being produced. Also due to the manufacturing process there could be a wide range of color variance within a single carton or cartons delivered. This is not considered a manufacturing defect. No claim will be accepted for installed material due to sample and product color difference

8. The temperature and humidity levels described below must be maintained otherwise any warranty, express or implied, will be voided. To minimize the effect that rapid changes in temperature will have on the moisture content of the wood floor an outside thermostat should be installed. If one is not present, suggest to your customer that this should be considered. Prior to installation proper moisture testing must be performed in accordance with National Wood Flooring Association guidelines. Moisture content between substrate and wood flooring should not exceed 2% for solid wood products and 4% for engineered wood products

These types of occurrences can be corrected with the proper use of maintenance oils. Refer to the maintenance oil manufacturer's guidelines for direction of use. Oil Soaps that are commercially available can be used, however it is the responsibility of the end user to insure compatibility. No claim will be processed for any maintenance product used.

12. For commercial floors that require frequent cleaning, Please contact the manufacturer for more detailed instructions In all cases it is the responsibility of the end user to properly maintain an oil finished floor. No claims will be accepted due to lack of maintenance or understanding of maintenance procedures Do not use ammonia or oil-based wax, polish, household dust treatment chemicals, abrasive cleaners, furniture cleaners or any other product to clean your floor. Do not wet mop the floor, as excess moisture may cause damage to your wood floor.
