from direct sun light for a virtually unlimited period.
Warranty
Using accepted industry standards, colors, woodgrains, and patterns have been individually matched and cross-referenced for the best suitable match. Color variation beyond the manufacturers’ control may occur in individual resin batches. The manufacturers’ warranty and liability for the bond, color match, and surface finish; extend only to the replacement value of the specific edgebanding material. It is the customer’s sole responsibility to determine that the bond and color match are acceptable for production before use.
