Residential flooring warranties generally focus on the wear layer's resistance to fading, staining, and surface wear over time. Coverage may be limited to the product itself, excluding labor unless specific service agreements are in place. Always verify the exclusion criteria, as improper maintenance, moisture exposure, or damage from heavy furniture can void a warranty. Understanding the fine print regarding light exposure and cleaning products is essential to maintaining your coverage over the product's lifespan.
