Product Guarantees are available for each of the products on completed orders upon request. Correct use of the products and circumstances of their use are the basis of any product guarantee. Guarantees are covered by the manufacturers and will be dealt with by them. A guarantee covers a product fault.

Planks showing visible defects should not be used as part of the installation. It is the responsibility of the owner/fitter to deselect these boards at the time of installation. These boards are to be allowed for in the 15% waste tolerance. Boards with visible defects that are installed are excluded from this warranty. Colour and grade de-selection is not allowed for, as this is a personal choice and not a defect in the manufacturing of the product.


Sampling

We offer a sampling service – this entails a pack being opened and cut into jiffy bag pieces and dispatched on request. No pre-selection takes place with samples, as such boards you receive may vary in colour and grading of the wood. Being a natural product, shade variations will apply. All samples are sent at the discretion of Flooring365.

Whilst every effort is made to use a photograph as close to the real item as possible, some screens and browsers affect the colour of the picture displayed. Please use our sample service for confidence.

 

COLOUR VARIATION

Colour variation in wood flooring is a natural occurrence and should be expected. Variations can be due to species, age, growing conditions, character of flooring, and exposure to UV light or sunlight. For these reasons flooring may not match samples and/or existing flooring.

DELIVERY CONSIDERATIONS

Following insurance guidelines, all wood deliveries are curb-side which means they will be placed at the nearest access point for the vehicle to the delivery address given. Deliveries are made by large vehicles (HGV), so any access concerns, for example the road is subject to size/weight restrictions or parking issues etc, this needs to be mentioned at time of placing the order as alternative delivery arrangements may be necessary. Any failed delivery will incur a re-delivery charge.

Please ensure you check all your packages upon arrival to ensure the order is complete & there is no damage that may have been caused during transit.
