It is designed to give our customers confidence that their flooring has been installed according to industry standards and manufacturer-recommended installation practices. **Our Lifetime Installation Warranty is contingent upon the end-user properly maintaining the flooring according to the manufacturer’s care, maintenance, and environmental requirements.** ## Understanding Your Responsibility \ as the End-User Once your flooring has been installed, you become the **end-user** of the product. As the end-user, you are responsible for maintaining your flooring in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Proper maintenance includes, but is not limited to: - Maintaining recommended indoor temperature and relative humidity levels - Following all manufacturer cleaning and maintenance instructions - Using only approved cleaning products - Promptly cleaning spills and standing water - Preventing excessive moisture exposure - Using furniture pads and floor protectors - Protecting flooring from abuse, impact, scratches, and improper use - Performing routine maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer   A professionally installed floor should not fail under normal conditions. If an installation-related issue exists, it typically becomes apparent within the first several weeks after installation. After that, most flooring issues are caused by environmental conditions, moisture, lack of maintenance, or normal wear rather than installation workmanship. Failure to properly maintain your flooring may void this workmanship warranty. ## Indoor Climate Requirements Proper indoor environmental conditions are essential to the long-term performance of your flooring. Temperature and humidity levels directly affect the stability, appearance, and longevity of many flooring products, particularly hardwood flooring. To maintain your flooring and preserve your Lifetime Installation Warranty, the **end-user** is responsible for maintaining the home within the flooring manufacturer’s recommended environmental conditions. Unless otherwise specified by the flooring manufacturer, we recommend maintaining the following indoor conditions year-round: ![Indoor condition requirements chart for hardwood, engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, carpet, and tile flooring by Right This Way Flooring in Boulder, Colorado, showing recommended temperature and indoor humidity levels for optimal floor performance and longevity.](https://rtwflooring.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/right-this-way-flooring-recommended-temperature-and-humidity.png "Lifetime Install Warranty") ## Indoor Climate Requirements Proper indoor environmental conditions are essential to the long-term performance of your flooring.
