Five Year Limited Warranty for Indoor Performance Turf

The following is the Five Year Limited Warranty issued by Shaw Industries, Inc. (“Shaw”) for our Indoor athletic and recreation turf products, Agility 24 and Adrenaline 35, made with nylon fiber and coated with a polyurethane unitary or polyurethane cushion backing system.

This warranty begins when the turf is purchased. The turf must be installed in accordance with Shaw Industries installation guidelines and specifications. The turf must be maintained in accordance with Shaw Industries maintenance (turf care) recommendations and such maintenance continues throughout the duration of the original installation.

The Five Year Warranty is further limited to the period of time the turf is owned and maintained by the original enduse purchaser. The basis of any warranty related claim is the original Shaw invoice or authorized Shaw dealer invoice. Damage resulting from the failure to follow these instructions will not be covered under this warranty.

Installation guidelines and specifications along with turf care recommendations can be obtained from your dealer or from Philadelphia Commercial at 1-800-441-7429.

What the five year limited warranty covers:

Fiber – Fiber Degradation - Philadelphia Commercial warrants that this Indoor turf, when installed and maintained as recommended by Shaw Industries for proper indoor use, will not display ultraviolet (UV) degradation, resulting in fiber deterioration or loss.

(Failure is defined as the loss of 25 % of the tufted products based on the original weight of the products at the time of manufacturing per test method ASTM D 5848).

Actual degradation will cause a deterioration of the yarn and loss of pile as a result. Failure does not include a decrease in pile height of the face yarn from the original pile height as a result of surface compression due to normal wear.
