PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES: 12. FLOORING

12.15 Resilient Sheet Flooring Not Sealed

Acceptable Performance/Condition

Resilient sheet flooring shall be sealed where butted and at edges to prevent lifting and water damage (i.e. areas adjacent to bathtubs and exterior doors).

Typically this defect presents itself as an edge or corner of sheet flooring that has lifted, triggered by a bead of sealant (or seam sealant) that permitted water beneath the flooring.

Warranty Coverage

• 12 months In-Home
• 15 months Common Property

IMPORTANT: The owner has a responsibility to mitigate damages by reporting any lifted seams or edges to the builder and warranty provider as soon as possible within the warranty period.

Claim Response

Resilient sheet flooring not meeting the Acceptable Performance/Condition shall be rectified.

Where repairs are made, an exact match of colour, finish, grain, sheen or texture may not be possible.

Maintenance Tip

Use floor protector pads under furniture.
