USE WITHIN THESE GUIDELINES TO BE WARRANTABLE

Fibrosan® recommends that the moisture content of lauan substrate be not greater than 12% at the time of lamination and that the glue coverage between the Fibrosan® panel and substrate be 100% coverage at the weight and thickness recommended by the adhesive manufacturer. Prior to the lamination the FRP panel must be free of dust moisture or particulates prior to lamination. Fibrosan® will not be responsible for any loss resulting from sub-standard lamination processes.

Fibrosan® limits the use of substrates to lauan plywood, and approved synthetic alternatives. The use of any substrates not approved by Fibrosan® will void this warranty. This warranty is void if the product has been damaged by accident, unreasonable use, neglect, tampering or other causes not rising from defects in materials and workmanship.

 

This warranty extends to the original owner but does not cover the following:

 

a. Damage to the panel caused by vandalism, accident, or misuse, including direct impact to the panel or scoring or the panel which impairs the surface integrity.

b. Premature discoloration or fiber exposure caused by the lack of care and maintenance recommended by Fibrosan®.
