Rubber flooring
2 year warranty

The warranty is valid only if the rubber flooring is installed according to our installation guidelines or by a professional installer recommended or approved by us. We do not cover any installation costs incurred.

The warranty is valid if the rubber flooring is properly cleaned and maintained. Only neutral pH cleaners specifically recommended for rubber flooring should be used. Solvents, harsh detergents, or oil-based cleaners can cause damage and will void the warranty. Excessive mopping has the potential to shorten the lifespan of your flooring. Spot-mopping should be done between weekly floor cleans.

The warranty does not cover damage resulting from excessive wear, accidents, misuse, improper handling, neglect, intentional damage, acts of nature, or any other circumstances beyond our control.

Upon verification of a valid warranty claim, we will, at our discretion, either repair or replace the defective flooring. If the original product is no longer available, we will provide a comparable replacement. Any costs associated with shipping the replacement product or any additional installation expenses are not covered under warranty.
