PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES: 2. FLOOR FRAMING

2.6 Floor Squeaks

Acceptable Performance/Condition

Floors should be free from excessive squeaks caused by movement in the floor system under normal loading conditions.

A completely squeak-free floor may not be attainable and minor squeaks are not covered under warranty.

Extended low-humidity indoor environments can cause excessive shrinkage in the wood resulting in loose floor connections. The owner must maintain indoor humidity levels to prevent excessive drying of materials.

Warranty Coverage

• 12 months In-Home
• 15 months Common Property

Claim Response

Excessive floor squeaks not meeting the Accepted Performance/Condition are to be rectified. Where repairs are made, an exact match of colour, finish, grain, sheen or texture may not be possible.
