Topical spills allowed to remain on the floor for any considerable time will damage the Mohawk Wood Floor and void this warranty. Flooding, acts of God, plumbing accidents, leaking appliances (icemakers, dishwashers, clothes washers, etc.) are not topical spills and are not covered by this warranty. Mohawk engineered or longstrip wood products may be installed on, above or below grade on all common subfloors and are warranted against subfloor moisture if the following conditions are met: • Written verification that the concrete subfloor has moisture of no more than 3 lbs./1000 square feet/24 hours using a calcium chloride test; or Written verification that the concrete subfloor has an acceptable reading using an electronic concrete moisture meter; or • Written verification that the wood subfloors have a moisture reading of less than 13% using an electronic wood moisture meter; and • Mohawk Wood Flooring Adhesive is used. It is important that you keep your original sales receipt showing Mohawk Wood Flooring Adhesive was installed. If the floor fails due to the incursion of moisture from the subfloor, Mohawk will replace the damaged material at no cost to the Buyer for one time only, provided that testing approved by Mohawk indicates that moisture penetrated the subfloor.

The purpose of acclimation is to allow the moisture content of the wood to adjust to “normal living conditions” at the site. These are the temperature and humidity conditions that will typically be experienced once the structure is occupied. Engineered: The room temperature must be within a range of 60 – 80o F, with relative humidity in a range of 35 – 55%. Concrete subfloor moisture must not exceed 3lb per 1000 square feet per 24 hours (ASTM 1869 or ASTM F2170-02). These environmental conditions are specified as pre-installation requirements and should be maintained for the life of the product. Environmental conditions consistently outside of these parameters could result in product performance problems that would not be covered under these warranties. o Solid: The room temperature must be within a range of 60 – 80 F, with relative humidity in a range of 35 – 55%. The subfloor and flooring should be tested with an appropriate moisture meter. The subfloor moisture level must not exceed 12%. The difference between the moisture content of the wood subfloor and the solid hardwood flooring must not exceed 4% for products less than 3” wide. For solid hardwood products equal to or greater than 3” wide, the moisture content of the wood subfloor and hardwood floor should not differ more than 3%. Solid wood is not suitable for application over a concrete subfloor. Environmental conditions consistently outside of these parameters could result in product performance problems that would not be covered under these warranties.
