The warranty fine print, in plain words

This is what LifeProof's warranty documents say that most people never read. It decides whether a claim gets paid.

  • Halstead: the floating floor is 'waterproof' but can't prevent problems from flooding, subfloor moisture/alkali or hydrostatic pressure, and shouldn't be used to seal an existing floor.
  • Excludes beater bars, stiletto heels, improper rolling loads, casters and furniture without protectors, sharp-object cuts.
  • Sunlight colour/sheen change and rubber-backed mat staining excluded. No exterior use.
  • Must be installed and maintained per LifeProof instructions; inspect for visual defects before installing.

What we'd check before buying LifeProof

  • Ask for the wear layer in mil: 20+ for kids, dogs and rentals. Specs explained.
  • "Waterproof" covers the plank, not your subfloor. The truth about waterproof.
  • Check the heat and sunlight section if the room has big south or west windows.
  • Keep the receipt and a photo of the lot number on the box end. You'll need both for any claim or matching repair.
