INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLER/OWNER RESPONSIBILITY Galliant hard wood floors are products of nature and not perfect. Our floors are manufactured in accordance with accepted industry standards, which permit grading deficiencies not to exceed 5%. These grading deficiencies may be have a manufacturing or natural type. Before installation, the installer must determine that the job-site environment and the sub-surface involved meet or exceed all applicable standards. Recommendations of the construction and materials industries as well as local codes must be followed. These instructions recommend that the constructions and subfloors be dry, stiff and flat. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for job failure resulting from or associated with sub-surface, sub flooring or job-site environmental deficiencies. The installer assumes all responsibility for final inspections as to grade, manufacture and factory finish. This inspection of all flooring must be done before installation. Carefully examine flooring for color, finish and quality before installing it. The installer must use reasonable selectivity and hold out or cut off pieces with deficiencies, whatever the cause. If material is not acceptable, don’t install it and contact the seller immediately. Use of stain, filler or putty stick for touch-up during installation should be accepted as normal procedure. When floors are ordered, 5% must be added to the actual square footage needed for cutting and grading allowance. Should an individual piece be doubtful as to grade, manufacture or factory finish, the installer should not use the piece. HANDLING AND STORAGE Galliant Solid wood flooring is a quality product made from lumber that has been kiln-dried. To maintain the moisture level, don't truck or unload it in the rain, snow or other excessively humid conditions. Cover it with a tarpaulin or vinyl if the atmosphere is foggy or damp. Solid wood flooring should be stored in an enclosed building that is well ventilated with weather proof windows and located in areas where in which it is expected to perform. Material should be allowed to acclimate for 72 hours or as long as necessary to meet minimum installation requirements for moisture content. The storage area within the building should be clean and dry. Leave adequate room for good air circulation around stacks of flooring. Continual dry heat may over-dry flooring, which may later result in buckled floors when flooring is delivered to the job and installed without a proper acclimation or spacing. TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES NEEDED It is very important to use the proper adapters as well as staples or cleats. Improper fasteners, machines and air pressure can cause severe damage. The manufacturer of these flooring products is not responsible for damage caused by use of improper tools or misuse. |
