RESIDENTIAL RESILIENT LIMITED WARRANTY

Shaw Industries, Inc. (“the Company”) warrants its flooring products under this Limited Residential Warranty when used in the proper fit for use indoor residential applications. The warranty belongs to you, the original owner occupied end-use purchaser, and begins when you purchase the resilient and extends for the limited warranty period stated on the product specification.  The basis of any warranty related claim is the original “Company” invoice or authorized “Company” dealer. The flooring must be installed in accordance with the Company’s installation guidelines and specifications. The product must be maintained in accordance with the Company’s maintenance recommendations and such maintenance continues throughout the duration of the original installation. Damage resulting from a failure to follow installation and cleaning/maintenance guidelines will not be covered under this warranty. Installation guidelines, specifications, and product care recommendations can be obtained from your dealer. For additional information, please see the bottom of this page.

WHAT THE WARRANTY COVERS

Manufacturing Defects – The Company warrants that the flooring product will be free from manufacturing defects during the period of this warranty. Manufacturing defects include but are not limited to delamination, core voids, thickness variation, and dimensional stability defects.  Dimensional stability related defects are defined as dimensional changes in the width and/or length of the product greater than the tolerances as defined in ASTM F2199.  Dimensional variation is defined as thickness, length, width and squareness measurements that exceed  ASTM tolerances. 

Wear – The Company warrants the resilient floor product will not wear through to the pattern/decor layer under normal use during the period of this warranty. Normal use is defined as light to moderate foot traffic.

Waterproof Warranty 

This warranty covers topical moisture as long as the water does not flow over the edge of the surface (edge of the room, cut boards, etc.). Shaw warrants that for the lifetime of stated warranty period from the date of original purchase, your Shaw product will not swell, cup or crack due to: 

  • Normal cleaning practices (see care and maintenance document for additional information)

  • Moisture due to everyday household spills (see care and maintenance document for additional information)

  • Normal moisture levels from subfloor when exposed to such conditions (see installation instructions document for additional information)

While moisture will not affect the product’s integrity, it is possible that, when excessive moisture accumulates in buildings, subfloors, or on building materials, mold (and/or) mildew growth can occur - particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed.  In addition, such excessive moisture levels can cause the ends and/or sides of the product to lift/flare due to the vapor pressure from underneath.  Such damage from excessive moisture levels (as outlined in the installation instructions document) are not covered by this warranty.  All sources of subfloor moisture should be remedied prior to installation.

Petproof Warranty 

The Company warrants that your luxury vinyl floor will resist staining caused by pet (domestic cat or dog) stains, including urine, feces, and vomit. Stain resistance means the ability of your floor to resist (i.e., minimize or withstand) permanent stains for as long as you own your floor. Cleaning of the affected area should begin immediately upon discovery. The more time that elapses before removal, the more difficult a stain will be to remove.

The Limited Petproof Warranty DOES NOT COVER: ​Any urine, feces, or vomit stains other than pet.
