Material Specifications
The manufacturer warrants the following:
Physical Properties
A. Density: The manufacturer's products are made with high density
polyurethane foam with an overall density similar to White Pine at between 14
and 24 lb. per cubic foot.
The manufacturing process provides a greater skin density than
core density which increases durability.
B. Surface Properties and
Finishes: All products are produced incorporating a white or wood color barrier
coating. In addition to this integral barrier coat, all products receive a
primer
coat
with built-in UV inhibitors. The combination of the integral shell-like skin,
the barrier coat and the primer top coat provides an excellent substrate for
durable finishes.
C. Ultra Violet: Ultra Violet rays do not effect properly
coated products.
D. Compressive Strength: Falls within the 300 - 400 P.S.I.
range.
E. Tensile Strength: Falls within the 300 - 400 P.S.I. range.
F. Flexural Strength: The
degree of flexibility in any given polyurethane product is determined by the
shape and size of its cross-section.
Due to the
inherent flex characteristics of lineal footage products, they will follow some
curvature and uneven surfaces.
G. Moisture Resistance: The polyurethane has a
closed-cell structure which provides protection from most solvents and renders
it almost completely moisture resistant.
H. Mildew Resistance: All polyurethane products are
mold and mildew resistant and cannot be harmed by termites or other
insects/rodents.
I. Flammability: All
polyurethane products are combustible when exposed to open flame, as are all
wood materials.
The manufacturer
does offer a Fire Resistant option with a flame spread index of 30 and a smoke
index of 200 - 300.
J. Shrinkage: All polyurethane materials will expand and
contract nominally depending on environmental factors such as temperature and
humidity.
Following the manufacturer's installation instructions and
recommended Adhesive are
provided to best address shrinkage and must be used in order not to void
warranty.
K. Warranty: The manufacturer
warrants to the original purchaser, it's rigid polyurethane material will be
free from defects in material and workmanship for as long as the original
purchaser resides in the home that the product was installed when the
polyurethane is installed, finish painted and used under recommended conditions
and instructions. To the
original purchaser, for a period of one year from the date of purchase, it's
white exterior primer paint applied to the polyurethane will be free from
blistering and pealing when used
installed and finished painted under recommended conditions and instructions.
The original purchaser and their installers must inspect every piece prior to
installation. Both parties
must
waive all defects which could have been discovered by reasonable inspection
prior to installation. Warranty will automatically be void if a
non-approved adhesive is not used.
Failure to follow the manufacturer's storage and handling instruction will void
this limited warranty. In the event that the claim is made under this
warranty and conditions had been met,
the
original purchaser must notify the manufacturer within writing within 30 days of
making the discovery. Manufacturer reserves the right to inspect the
defective product on site, or
request that the original purchase at their expense return the defective product
to the manufacturer for inspection. The manufacturer will determine if the
product failed, and whether or
not it
will repair, replace, or refund said defective parts. The manufacturer
shall have no liability to any person, firm, or corporation whatsoever for
incidental or consequential damage
such
as, but not limited to, labor, finishing, parts damaged in transit, freight
charges, installation, lost profits, lost sales, acts of nature, civil unrest,
or acts of terrorism. No purchaser
may
take any deduction or credit against any amount owed to the distributor Imperial
Productions & Distribution Inc., or make any chargeback with regards to a
warranty claim, without
the
expressed written consent of the distributor. This limited warranty is
exclusive, and made in lieu of all other express warranties, whether written,
oral, or implied ( including any
warranty or merchant ability or fitness of purpose), and extends only to the
original purchaser's purchase. Some states and provinces may not
allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, or the exclusion and limitations of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
