You've got to read this. Dupont is selling laminate flooring exclusively
thru Home Depot. It comes with a 30 year WEAR warranty but if there is a
manufacturing defect and that isn't discovered and reported within 6 months
of purchase you get zilch.

They must pay their lawyers extra to dream up this.

The average consumer sees '30 yr. warranty' and assumes it's a good
product. Unfortunately, the manufacturer words the small print to get
them out of any further responsibility. First and foremost, they'll
expect 'professional installation' yet they stack their products to
the ceiling in a 'Do--It-Yourself' warehouse. They know who is buying
and installing this stuff. Disregard the WEAR warranty and look for
the best warranty on workmanship. Reward quality.

I'd think that most manufacturing defects would show up during hte
installation. Overall, it does not seem to be a bad deal on the Wear
portion.

Wear throuh is 30 years. If you pen the box and see defects they will
replace- or just bring back to HD.

Your sentence is ambiguous. For what do you get zilch? The defect or
its wearing out?

It says: *Manufacturing: In addition to the our Original Limited 30
year residential warranty, We warrants our product against
manufacturing defects that exist in its product prior to purchase by
the consumer. Any manufacturing defect must be reported prior to the
product installation or, under any circumstance, no later than six (6)
months after the date of purchase in order to be covered under this
warranty. We will replace any such defective material at no additional
cost to the customer. Any damage that might occur during shipment is
the responsibility of the shipping company.

Note the second and third word. "In addition". So the 30 year
warranty is unaffected by this paragraph.

So, there is no problem, right?
