- Warranty Year(s)
- One Year
- Performance
- Ceramic/porcelain tile, marble or stone flooring shall be installed to prevent it from cracking or coming loose from the substrate. In rooms or areas where the flooring must provide a degree of water resistance required by the Building Code, cracked or loose flooring allowing water to penetrate is not acceptable.
- Warranty
- One-Year - Work and Materials. · Where floors are not required to provide water resistance, cracked or loose tiles resulting from normal shrinkage of materials due to drying after construction are excluded from the statutory warranty. · Damage caused by normal wear and tear or improper maintenance is excluded from the statutory warranty.
- Action
- Flooring not meeting the acceptable condition shall be repaired.
- Remarks
- Identify any damaged ceramic/porcelain tile on the PDI Form to avoid any dispute about whether the damage was caused by the builder. Variations between dye lots of similar materials within a specified colour or pattern are normal and acceptable provided they are not readily visible. Slight variations in grout colour are to be expected when making repairs.
