recommendations and written instructions that are generally available in Therma-Tru Product Manual as updated by bulletins or other written
communications, or on the Therma-Tru website at www.thermatru.com. STEEL PRODUCTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE INSTALLED WITHIN FIVE 5 MILES
OF A BODY OF SALT WATER, REQUIRE PROMPT AND CAREFUL INITIAL FINISHING AND MAINTENANCE BY THE WARRANTY HOLDER, INCLUDING
PERIODIC CLEANING, FINISHING AND REFINISHING, AND OTHER REPAIRS in accordance with Therma-Tru’s above referenced recommendations and
written instructions.
• Improper pre-installation storage, including inadequate shelter or inadequate venting of shipping wrap in humid locations.
• Misapplication of Products or faulty building design or construction, including inadequate flashings, caulking, building settlement or structural failures
of walls or foundations, or inadequate overhangs.
• Installation in locations or a manner that exceeds or deviates from Product design standards and/or testing and certified performance specifications,
and/or not in compliance with building codes.
• Product reinstalled after removal from its original installation, except in connection with proper and timely maintenance of components which incur
normal wear and tear, such as the weatherstrip, door bottom sweep (gasket) and corner seal pads.
• Rotting, splitting, warping, swelling or other adverse condition, of or attributed to or arising from a frame system, unless the frame system is a genuine
Therma-Tru rot-resistant component part. Use of a non-Therma Tru frame system by the Warranty Holder (or its door system dealer, distributor, builder,
installer, contractor or other agent) will not automatically void this Limited Warranty. However, while Therma-Tru recommends the use of a rot-resistant
or rot-free frame, Therma-Tru does NOT warrant the performance or integrity of any third party frame product (even if the manufacturer claims that its
frame product is rot-resistant or rot-free), and therefore, this Limited Warranty will not apply to Product non-conformities or damages attributed to or
arising from the rotting, splitting, warping, swelling or any other condition of a third party frame product.
• Damages aggravated or worsened because of failure by the Warranty Holder or its agents to timely take reasonable actions to mitigate any alleged
damages or failure to file a claim for alleged damages promptly and during the Warranty Period.
• Harsh natural environmental conditions, including by example, from substantial exposure to sun, salt spray, or airborne pollutants; other severe
conditions including exposure to harsh chemicals or solvents, such as acidic brick washes or stucco leach; or damage from vandalism, or domestic or
wild animals.
• Therma-Tru does not manufacture storm doors and is not responsible for any failure of, or any damage caused to, the storm door. However, the use
of a properly installed and properly vented storm door along with a Therma-Tru door system does not void this Limited Warranty. The Therma-Tru door
system will continue to be subject to the terms and provision of this Limited Warranty.
• Labor for removing, installing or replacing Product or components or labor for other materials that are removed, reinstalled or refinished in conjunction
with repairing or replacing the Product or component.
• Any painting, staining, scratching or other alteration of a Therma-Tru factory-applied exterior coating surface of the Products.
• Fading, discoloration or color change of a Therma-Tru factory-applied color coating that equals or is less than five 5 Delta E units, calculated in
accordance with ASTM E 308-85, ASTM E 805-81 and ASTM D 2244-85, effective on the date the Product is manufactured, and which covers
less than a material portion of the exterior of the Product. Color change will be measured on an exposed color surface of the Product that has been
properly maintained and cleaned of soils, and the corresponding values measured on the original or unexposed color surface. Non-uniform fading or
color change is a natural occurrence if the exterior surfaces of the Product are not equally exposed to the sun and other environmental conditions.
• Products not installed in the USA or Canada.
b) GLASS:
• Minor variations in glass color or imperfections that do not affect the structural integrity of the glass or do not permanently and materially obstruct
vision from moisture formation between the panes.
• Glass covered with aftermarket window films.
• Accidental glass breakage, including by example, caused by debris or foreign objects striking the glass, or breakage that may occur under conditions
exceeding the Product’s performance parameters.
• Condensation, frost or mold resulting from humidity within the building and interior/exterior temperature differentials. Note: There is no such thing as a
“condensation-free” window in high-humidity conditions. Controlling the amount of moisture in your home is the most effective action you can take to
avoid condensation.
• Stresses from localized heat which cause excessive temperature differentials over the glass.
• Post-manufacture dissipation of inert gases (as argon) or the amount of gas in Products with inert gas-filled insulating glass.
• Scratches or other imperfections, unless readily observable more than 4 feet away.
• Any sound that occurs from decorative grids striking the glass due to vibrations from daily use or outside traffic is not considered an imperfection, nor
is the grid touching the glass (primarily in triple-pane window units) considered a defect.
• Mineral deposits.
• The alteration or application of any aftermarket films, coatings, tints or other similar products not originally supplied by Therma-Tru will void this
Limited Warranty.
c) ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS:
• This Limited Warranty does not guarantee safety for persons or property, nor make a premises hurricane-proof or impact-proof. Follow weather and
news reports in order to assess severe weather situations, and obey local authorities’ shelter and evacuation orders.
• This Limited Warranty does not cover damage attributable to or caused by acts of God that include, but are not limited to, stresses, high winds, floods,
fire and other conditions that exceed Product designs and testing specifications that are test evaluated and certified as referenced in Therma-Tru’s
published literature. CERTIFICATION APPROVAL, RATING AND REFERENCES TO OTHER PERFORMANCE STANDARDS MEAN THAT THE PRODUCT
MEETS THE ESTABLISHED SPECIFICATION PARAMETERS OF THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS OR STANDARD TESTING AT THE TIME THE PRODUCT IS
MANUFACTURED. However, with exposure over time to environmental conditions, including by example, high-wind events and other forces of nature,
