A Customer-Friendly Guide to Our Warranty
At Hewn, we're proud of the 20-year residential warranty we offer on all of our Stoneform flooring. But we also recognize that with any investment in a flooring upgrade, some customers may feel anxious about what that warranty covers. While Stoneform is extremely durable, our warranty is intended to give you peace of mind if the worst does occur. In this blog post, we'll explain what exactly is covered, and not covered, by our warranty. We'll also cover what happens if you want to proceed with a warranty claim. Breaking it Down What's Covered We offer a 20 year residential warranty for all of our Stoneform lines, and a 10 year commercial warranty for our Elite and Premium Collections.

Not Using a Vapor/ Moisture Barrier It is mandatory to use a vapor barrier with Stoneform® when installing directly over a concrete slab. Use a vapor barrier with a minimum thickness of 6mils. This barrier acts as a protective layer, preventing moisture from seeping up and causing damage to your new flooring. A moisture barrier is not required if installing over tile or a wood subfloor. If installation is over a crawl space, a previously placed vapor barrier in the crawl space is sufficient for our warranty. Not leaving an expansion gap Our most common warranty claim issue is customers not leaving a 1/4 inch expansion gap around the perimeter of their flooring. A lack of an expansion gap may lead to a build of of hydrostatic pressure when the floor is exposed to higher temperatures from summer weather. This build up can lead to cupping in your floor. FAQs About Our Warranty Can I use underfloor heating? Yes. Underfloor heating is covered in our warranty as long as it stays between 65 and 80 degrees F. Can I install Hewn Flooring over concrete? Yes, Hewn Flooring is covered by our warranty to be installed over concrete as long as you use a vapor barrier, and the concrete meets moisture requirements. Can I install Hewn Flooring in outdoor spaces or places like boats or RVs? No. Hewn Flooring is only suitable for indoor spaces. Our warranty does not cover any flooring installed in spaces that are not indoors. How level does my subfloor need to be to qualify for warranty? Any area that has flooring deflection more than 3/16" in any 8' span will cause the locking system to fail and will not be covered by our warranty. Can I install Hewn Flooring over hardwood floors? No. Moisture from the subfloor can be trapped in the hardwood and result in dangerous mold. Installing Hewn Flooring on top of hardwood floors is not covered in our warranty. Still Have Questions? We hope this guide will help to clear up an confusion surrounding our warranty. Our goal is to help you have beautiful flooring for years to come.
