The success of your installation will rely heavily on proper jobsite conditions being met prior to the floors installation. Your Shamrock floor should not be brought on site until all windows and doors are installed and all drywall and paint or texturing is completed. Once on-site, your floor should be stacked in the area it is to be installed. Please allow 14 days for proper acclimatization for Solid floors. Environeered flooring can be installed immediately after opening without the acclimatization process. Your flooring product should never be stored in an unheated area, or below grade.
All N.W.F.A. installation guidelines should be adhered to when installing your floor. To our knowledge, we have found no adhesive/mastic products that will not bond to our hardwood flooring products, either Solid or Environeered. In radiant applications, we highly recommend using a urethane-based adhesive.
All plank flooring should be glued and nailed. We recommend a urethane-based wood floor adhesive and a proper nailing schedule, every four to six inches should be sufficient.
Your Shamrock floor is unique; knots, mineral streaking and color variations are all part of your floors' character. Some boards may be deemed less attractive; these should be placed in inconspicuous spots. Consult with your installer prior to final installation.
INSTALLATION OF ANY FLOORING CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF ITS GRADE, MILLING, AND FINISH.
As Shamrock Plank Flooring has no control over installation methods or site conditions, we cannot warranty any installation or site related issue. Shamrock Plank Flooring assumes no liability for incidental or consequential damages. This writing is the complete and exclusive statement of the warranty, and is in lieu of all other expressed and/or statutory warranties. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights as they vary from state to state.
Any damage caused to the flooring as a result of the following will void this warranty:
- Improper Installation: Proper N.W.F.A. guidelines must be followed, including subfloor preparation.
- Storage/Jobsite Conditions: Product must be stored in a dry and heated environment; no exposure to any moisture shall be permitted. Do not store in garages, over concrete, or below grade.
- Water Damage: Warranty does not include damage caused by flooding, faulty plumbing, moisture penetration, overflowing sinks, leaking appliances or any like occurrences.
Your installer is responsible for the proper handling, storage and installation of your hardwood floor. This includes final inspection of flooring prior to installation. Shamrock's warranty does not cover flooring with visible defects once it is installed. The installer is also responsible for making sure the flooring is installed over an acceptable, suitable sub-floor.
