TORLYS Peace of Mind Assurance

Superior warranty, assuring your peace of mind for years to come.

Warranty Details

These warranties apply to the original end user, are not transferable, and cover only approved product applications. Please note that these warranties are valid from the date of purchase as shown on the consumer’s invoice, starting June 1, 2011.

These warranties are valid only if proper installation (including the use of TORLYS recommended underlayment products), and maintenance procedures, are followed. Check with TORLYS Inc. (1-800-461-2573) for detailed information.

This warranty is not prorated (residential applications only)

1. Wear-through Warranty

This is restricted to wear on the surface of the boards. The wear must be readily visible and measure a minimum of 1.4 square centimeters (0.5 square inches). Gloss reduction is not considered wear.

2. Stain Warranty

Regular household products (such as food, beverages and daily-use cleaning products) will not stain your TORLYS laminate and vinyl flooring.

3. Fade Warranty

TORLYS laminate flooring will not noticeably fade from exposure to sunlight or normal artificial light.

4. Lifetime Structural Warranty

We guarantee that this product is free from manufacturing defects and will remain free of these defects for as long as you own your home.

5. Lifetime Joint Integrity Warranty

No Gapping Warranty

The joint will remain secure and the planks will not come apart. Note: All TORLYS floors are engineered to minimize gapping that can occur in natural floors with seasonal fluctuations. Minor gapping (up to 0.2mm or 0.01 inches), without the unlocking of the planks, may occur and is not considered a defect.

Note: the most frequent causes of excessive gapping are:

Not meeting the required use of expansion joints (see installation instructions).

Floors being pinned down by mouldings incorrectly installed, i.e, floors being pinned down by nails or glue.

Joints not properly clicked together or debris caught in the joints.

Extreme dryness conditions (Relative Humidity).

Important: gaps/open joints on TORLYS can be closed with the use of the TORLYS Bulldog® Easy Plank Replacer.

Exclusions:

  1. Defects or damage caused by installation that does not comply with TORLYS recommended floor installation procedures (for details see installation instructions). Any failure as a result of improper installation is the sole responsibility of the flooring contractor and/or installer.
  2. Inadequate product choice for the flooring use conditions.
  3. Damage due to improper maintenance. Refer to the TORLYS Maintenance Instructions, or contact TORLYS Inc. (1-800-461-2573) for recommended products.
  4. Unapproved modification or repair.
  5. Damage due to exposure to excessive heat, wetness or dryness. It is recommended that relative humidity in a home remain in the healthy range of 30-60% throughout the year. Keeping humidity within this range may require the use of a dehumidifier or a humidifier depending on the climate conditions.
  6. This Warranty does not cover denting, splits, warping, soiling or abuse caused by items such as inline skates, roller skates, stiletto heels, golf shoes or pets.
  7. Accidents or misuse.
  8. Replacement of materials, which have been installed, and that contain obvious visual defects.

    Note: Sliding heavy furniture or appliances may permanently damage your TORLYS floor.
  11. Problems caused by moisture, mildew, alkaline substances or hydrostatic pressure.
  12. This warranty only applies to TORLYS brand, first quality products.
  13. Responsibility under this warranty only applies to hidden defects. These are defects that were not visible before or during the installation of the TORLYS floor.
