order to validate the warranty for Centiva tiles or planks. Detailed instructions are listed in the installation
pages of the manual. After installation, a sealer and/or finisher is recommended for easy maintenance.

production runs. Chain sets are available upon request. Colors shown in brochures and any other printing
are only as accurate as four color printing process will allow.
