US Stone offers its residential customers a 10 year limited warranty on all Avanza installed surfacing products. This warranty covers failures caused by product defects, improper fabrication and/or improper installation which may occur during the first 10 years after the original installation of the product, except for those failures which arise from any physical or chemical abuse, improper maintenance, commercial applications or excessive heat or any settling occuring to the residence in which the product has been installed.
The 10 year Avanza installation warranty is available only to the owner of a single family residence in which the surfacing product is originally installed or, in the case of a newly constructed single-family residence, to the first owner acquiring the residence from the builder thereof with the surfacing product already installed. The warranty does not, however, cover seam performance or any surfacing product that has been removed or relocated from its original place of installation.
Specific Rights:
US Stone's obligation under the Avanza
10 year warranty is limited solely to the repair or replacement of the failed
product. Such repair or replacement, however, shall not include the performance
of any other repairs or modifications that may be necessary to achieve the
actual repair or replacement of the failed surface product (such as, for
example, any plumbing, electrical, tile or wall surfacing repairs or
modifications) - such other repairs and modifications shall be the reponsibility
of the customer. If US Stone determines the likelihood of failure recurrence to
be high, US Stone retains the option to refund the original purchase price for
the fabricated product and/or installation thereof paid by the customer to US
Stone in full and final satisfaction of its warranty obligation hereunder.
Except to the extent expressly stated herein or otherwise required by applicable law, US Stone disclaims all warranties and representations, expressed or implied statutory or otherwise, including, without limitation, any implied or express warranties or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and shall not be responsible or liable, in either contract or tort, for any loss, including, without limitation, direct, indirect, special, consequential or incidental damages, arising out of the use or, the inability to use of, or repairs to, the surfacing products provided or to be provided by US Stone. However, because, because some states may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the foregoing limitations or exclusions may not be applicable.
These warranties give the customer specific legal rights. Other rights may be available under applicable laws which may vary from state to state.
Avanza is non-porous, so you can enjoy the beauty of natural stone without the worries. Unlike ordinary stone, Avanza has extremely high resistance to chemicals, scratches and stains and never needs to be polished or sealed. Avanza is also heat-resistant and will not scorch under normal cooking temperatures
With routine care, Avanza will maintain its luster and beauty for many years.
REGULAR CLEANING
To clean Avanza, a damp cloth or paper towel is usually sufficient. To clean up sticky spots, a little liquid detergent can help.
As with any countertop, it makes sense to clean up spills as soon as possible. But rest assured, Avanza can withstand exposure to tea, soda, wine, vinegar, lemon juice, and fruits and vegetables without permanently staining like ordinary stone.
CLEANING STUBBORN OR DRIED SPILLS
For stubborn or dried spills, Bon-Ami is an effective cleanser. It can be used daily without damaging Avanza. Other recommended cleaning products include Formula 409, Lysol, and Greased Lightening. For extremely stubborn spills, a white scrub pad such as Scotch-Brite can be used without damaging the countertop. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any hazy residue that will diminish the shine and beauty of the countertop.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and exercise proper care when handling and storing any cleaning products.
SPOT REMOVAL
For routine spot removal (food, grease, etc.), soak a pad of paper towels in water and one of the recommended cleansers Formula 409, Lysol or Greased Lightening. Apply to the spot and let soak for two to five minutes. Scour with a white scrub pad and cleanser. Rinse thoroughly.
For heavier or more stubborn spots (gum, nail polish, paint, etc.), first gently scrape away the excess with a razor blade or putty knife. However, Avanza is much harder than a steel blade, so excessive scraping on the surface may leave a gray metal mark on the countertop. Not to worry, just clean the area with one of the recommended cleansers Formula 409, Lysol or Greased Lightening and a white scrub pad. Any residue from the spot and any metal marks should both quickly disappear.
POLISHING / SEALING
Because Avanza is non-porous, you do not need to worry about using sealants or waxes as with ordinary stone. Avanza will keep its lustrous gloss and ultra-smooth surface without polishing.
NO SURFACE IS INDESTRUCTIBLE
As with any surface, Avanza can be damaged by exposure to strong chemicals and solvents. Do not use products containing trichlorethane or methylene chloride, such as paint removers or furniture strippers. Avoid abrasive cleansers containing high alkaline/PH levels.
In the event of accidental exposure to any of these damaging products, thoroughly rinse with water as soon as possible.
ENJOY
Avanza is made to give you the best of both worlds-all the natural wonder of stone without the worry.
With Avanza kitchen countertops, youll enjoy many years of natural beauty and easy care.
