LIMITED WARRANTY
Woodgrain Millwork warrants, subject to the conditions and restrictions stated below, that its products and components thereof shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is in effect at the time of purchase from a retailer or dealer. Provided the Atrium Door unit was strictly maintained, stored, finished and installed in accordance with Woodgrain Millwork’s written instructions that accompany each product.
INSULATED GLASS - 20 YEARS
Woodgrain Millwork warrants the insulated glass in our patio doors shall be free from manufacturing defects for a period of 20 YEARS from the date of purchase from retailer or distributor. Our insulated glass is warranted not to develop, under normal conditions, any material obstruction of vision as a result of manufacturing defects or a premature failure of the edge seal. This limited warranty does not apply to special glazings, and glass not factory installed by Woodgrain Millwork. If any repair or replacement is necessary, such repair or replacement is warranted for the remainder of the applicable warranty period. Labor is not covered after 12 months of purchase.
EXTERIOR PAINTED ALUMINUM SURFACES - 10 YEARS
Woodgrain Millwork warrants that the paint on the exterior of aluminum clad products will not, under normal atmospheric conditions, peel, check, crack, or flake for a period of 10 YEARS from the date of purchase from retailer or distributor. The paint performance will vary depending on installation in heavy salt spray environments, elevation, orientation, altitude and other atmospheric conditions. Paint surfaces will weather over time. To prolong the life and appearance of the paint coating, it is recommended that exterior cladding be cleaned any time the exterior glass is cleaned. See your Woodgrain Millwork distributor for a copy of the maintenance and cleaning instructions, or refer to AAMA 610.1-79. If a paint failure should occur, Woodgrain Millwork reserves the right to determine the best method for corrective action. Labor is not covered after 12 months of purchase.
HARDWARE AND ALL OTHER COMPONENTS - 10 YEARS
Woodgrain Millwork warrants that hardware and other components shall be free from defects, under normal conditions, for a period of 10 YEARS from the date of purchase from retailer or distributor. Woodgrain Millwork will provide replacement parts, free of charge during the warranty period. Since we purchase many of these items from other manufacturers, we cannot guarantee that the exact model or design of hardware will be available in the future, and usually, the then current model will be provided. Any components or product repaired or replaced are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. Labor is not covered after 12 months of purchase.
