Tiles of Europe Warranty Information

Tile Warranty Information

Tiles of Europe warrants that its tile products are free from defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the original purchaser, under normal use and proper maintenance as outlined in our Care and Maintenance Guide. This warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the individual or entity who originally purchased the tile.

What is Covered:

This warranty covers defects that impair the tile's structural integrity or significantly affect its aesthetic appearance, including:

Manufacturing Defects: Imperfections in the tile's body or glaze that are present upon delivery.
Significant Warping or Bowing: Excessive deviations from flatness beyond industry standards that develop during normal use.
Glaze Defects: Significant chipping, cracking, or crazing of the glaze that occurs under normal use and is not attributable to external factors.

What is Not Covered:

This warranty does not cover the following:

Normal Wear and Tear: Gradual wear of the tile surface due to foot traffic, abrasion, or exposure to the elements.
Improper Installation: Damage or defects resulting from incorrect installation, including inadequate substrate preparation, improper adhesive use, or failure to follow industry best practices.
Improper Maintenance: Damage caused by the use of inappropriate cleaning agents, abrasive cleaners, or failure to follow our Care and Maintenance Guide.
Abuse or Misuse: Damage resulting from impact, dropping heavy objects, or other forms of physical abuse.
Chemical Exposure: Damage caused by exposure to harsh chemicals, acids, or solvents not recommended for tile.
Variations in Shade, Color, or Texture: Natural variations in shade, color, and texture are inherent in tile manufacturing and are not considered defects. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to inspect the tile prior to installation to ensure acceptable blending.
Acts of Nature: Damage caused by natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, or fires.
Installation Costs: This warranty does not cover the cost of removing or replacing defective tile, nor does it cover any associated labor costs.
Consequential or Incidental Damages: Tiles of Europe is not liable for any consequential or incidental damages arising from the use or inability to use our products.

Proof of purchase (original invoice or sales receipt).
Detailed description of the defect.
Photographs of the affected tile(s).

Upon receipt of your claim, we will review the information and may request additional details or an onsite inspection. If the defect is deemed to be covered under this warranty, we will, at our discretion, either:
