the vinyl precoat.

WICK-BACK For the life of the carpet, the carpet's vinyl precoat technology will not promote wickback stains.

AATCC-134 test method.

WEAR For the life of the carpet, the carpet will retain at least 90% by weight of the pile fiber.

This warranty is only available if the Carpet Entryway System has been properly installed with the proper Mannington adhesive and subjected to normal indoor use. Further, this warranty applies only to manufacturing defects and does not cover (i) deterioration of carpet appearance, (ii) damage to the carpet, or (iii) failure of carpet installation that is not the result of a manufacturing defect. By way of example, without limitation, this warranty does not cover: tears, cuts, pulls, burns, pile crush or shading variations (conditions that are not manufacturing defects), dye lot differences, the exposure of carpet to excessive sunlight, the installation of carpet on stairs, or any wear or damage resulting from (i) abnormal use or abuse, (ii) use of athletic equipment (e.g. roller skates, golf shoes, sld boots, etc.), (iii) inadequate roller casters on chairs, (iv) use of improper cleaning agents or maintenance methods, or (v) installation or maintenance not in strict compliance with Mannington recommended procedures.

Except as set forth herein, there are not express warranties made by Mannington on this carpet. This warranty excludes all implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose (some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so this limitation or condition may not apply to you), and there are no implied warranties including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose extending beyond the duration of this warranty. Except for the specific remedies set forth herein, Mannington shall have no liability for any damages, whether direct, incidental or consequential (including but not limited to, damages for loss profits), resulting from the installation, use, performance, maintenance, repair or replacement of this Mannington carpet (some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so this limitation or condition may not apply to you).

VCT/Premium Tile Warranty

Mannington Commercial VCT/premium tile products Classics, Designer Classics, Headway, CenterPoint, and Solid Ace are backed by a Limited 10-Year Commercial Warranty for manufacturing defects as described below.

The VCT/premium tile products Classics, Designer Classics, Headway, CenterPoint, and Solid Ace that you purchase are guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defects. If a defect occurs in your floor, upon verification of the defect, Mannington will authorize repair or replacement of the affected area without charge, with flooring of equal value and/or quality. If your floor was installed by a professional flooring installer/contractor, Mannington will also pay reasonable professional labor costs to install your replacement floor if the defect is reported within the first year of the original purchase. Mannington will pay 50% of reasonable professional labor costs to install your replacement floor if the defect is reported within the second year of the original purchase. Labor costs will not be reimbursed if the defect is reported within the third through tenth year of the original purchase.




4. Dissatisfaction due to improper installation or installation contrary to Mannington recommendations will void the warranty. Mannington Commercial Installation Guidelines are available on our website manningtoncommercial.com.







Note: If the Mannington Commercial floor fails to perform as stated in the applicable Limited Warranty, Mannington Commercial will, at its option: (i) repair without charge the affected flooring to conform to the warranty; or (ii) replace the affected flooring without charge, with flooring of equal value and/ or quality. Mannington Commercial will also pay for reasonable labor costs per the conditions stated above.
