PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES: 2. FLOOR FRAMING

2.7 Wood-framed floor is out of level

Acceptable Performance/Condition

Where a framed floor appears out of level, a maximum tolerance ratio of 25 mm (1”) in 3 m (10') applies, when measured between the opposite walls or defined limits of the room or area.

Where a floor is framed with an engineered floor system, minor slope variations caused by any designed camber in the long-spanned joists supporting the floor are not a defect.

Minor slope variance caused by normal shrinkage of materials, settlement or initial construction is not covered under warranty.

Warranty Coverage

• 12 months In-Home
• 15 months Common Property

Claim Response
