Warranty
Eurocraft Cabinetry, Inc. will replace or repair TRENDS series cabinets that have been subject to defects in materials and workmanship from the
date of purchase for a period of 3 years. The Warranty of The TRENDS Series is limited to the original purchaser, for residential applications only
and does not extend to commercial applications. This warranty is expressly limited to repair or replacement of the defective part at the discretion
of Eurocraft and does not include labor for removal or replacement. This warranty does not extend to defects caused by improper handling,
storage, installation, assembly or disassembly, intentional damage, product modifications, exposure to the elements including humidity which
may result in warping or splitting, accidental misuse, abuse or negligence. Natural woods may vary in texture, color and wood grain, and exhibit
subtle changes as they age. For example, wood joints may eventually have visible cracking around the joint area and cabinet colors may darken
or lighten over time. Sunlight, smoke, moisture, household cleaners and other environmental conditions may cause materials to vary from their
original color and/or to warp, split or crack. These variations are the nature of the material in relation to their environmental exposure and are not
covered under this warranty.
Eurocraft reserves the right to determine the most cost effective and efficient method to correct defective merchandise that does not involve total
replacement. Example: replace a door - not the entire cabinet. Eurocraft and its manufacturers determine what is "defective"- not the customer.
Pictures will be required in order to receive replacement parts.
Please note that cabinet door styles and finishes are occasionally discontinued by Eurocraft’s suppliers, which is beyond the control of Eurocraft.
If the cabinet door style or finish that you purchased are no longer available or discontinued by our suppliers, or if we no longer sell that finish
any longer, we will do everything we can, however, we may not be able to get parts or replacements. Eurocraft Warranty is limited to
replacement of the allegedly defective piece, which may then at Eurocraft discretion replace with an alternative similar finish of part or offer
reimbursement for the individual cabinet purchased. Eurocraft will not provide replacements, or reimbursement for entire cabinet groupings such
as kitchen, bath, or laundry.
Climate Considerations
Dry wood undergoes small changes in dimension with normal changes in relative humidity. More humid air will cause slight swelling and drier air
will cause slight shrinkage. If you install our product in an extremely humid area or in a building without air-conditioning, you can expect the
cabinet components to change dimensionally. This change is usually more in width than height. The cabinets are designed to accommodate
some of this dimensional change and most cabinets feature hinges with significant adjustability. Please note that if you leave your cabinets in
direct sunlight that overtime the color can fade, this is not a manufacturer's defect and thus would not be covered under our warranty.
Warped Doors
There are three reasons why cabinet doors may warp or appear warped.
1. Doors may warp a small amount soon after installation because cabinets are taken from a controlled factory environment and placed in
a different environment. Warped doors will generally straighten out after a new home goes through a complete heating and cooling
season. The manufacturer requires that doors go through a complete heating and cooling season before replacements are considered.
NOTE: A hinge adjustment will improve the fit of the door as the cabinet progresses through a heating and cooling season.
2. Improperly installed cabinets can cause doors to appear warped. The manufacturer requires that doors be tested for warp before
replacements are considered. See step four.
3. Improperly adjusted hinges can cause doors to appear warped. A hinge adjustment will improve the fit of the door. The manufacturer
requires the doors be tested for warp before replacements are considered. See step four.
4. The best time to test a door is after the complete heating and cooling season. To test a door, lay the door on a flat surface and
measure, to the nearest sixteenth of an inch, the gap between the surface and the door.
Door Height
Warped is indicated when:
12" or less - gap is greater than 1/16"
13" to 24" - gap is greater than 1/8"
25" to 41" - gap is greater than 3/16"
