Statement of Warranty Policy
Effective on products manufactured after March 1, 2005
The Limited
Warranty
protection provided here under shall extend only to the first retail
purchaser and/or original homeowner.
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 at the time of shipment from our mill
in Greenville, Texas for a period of one (1) year from date of
purchase, 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 manufacture. 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.
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
manufacture. 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.
HARDWARE AND ALL
OTHER COMPONENTS
- 1 YEAR
Woodgrain
Millwork warrants that hardware and other components shall be free
from defects, under normal conditions, for a period of 1 YEAR
from the date of manufacture. 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.
