Installer/Owner Responsibility
Hardwood flooring is a natural product; therefore defects in the flooring can occur in the manufacturing process or naturally as a
characteristic of the wood. BR-111
™
Casanova Engineered hardwood floors are manufactured within accepted industry standards,
allowing for up to 5% defective product based on the original hardwood flooring purchase order. Order 5% additional flooring
product above actual square footage requirements to allow for cutting and grading of material.
Prior to installation, the installer assumes all responsibility for final inspection and quality of the product.
Flooring should be carefully examined for finish and quality. Do not install hardwood flooring that is unacceptable; contact
seller immediately.
The installer must determine that the jobsite environment and sub-floor surfaces meet applicable construction
and material industry standards. BR-111
™
declines any responsibility for job failure resulting from deficiencies associated
with sub-floor or job-site environment.
The installer must hold out or cut off defective flooring material during installation. Filler or putty stick may be used to
correct minor flooring defects during installation and is considered a normal procedure.
