The warranty fine print, in plain words
This is what Vidar's warranty documents say that most people never read. It decides whether a claim gets paid.
- Retailer-reproduced text: original purchaser via authorized dealer, paid in full; Vidar liable only to replace defective boards.
- Excludes seasonal gapping in heating season, normal wear in high-traffic/pivot areas, pet damage, moisture problems, failure to acclimate (5-7 days recommended).
What we'd check before buying Vidar
- Ask for the wear layer in millimetres and the finish type (aluminum oxide, UV oil or hardwax oil). Why it matters.
- Check the humidity range in the warranty against your home in winter. A $15 hygrometer tells you.
- Finish warranties cover wear-through, not scratches. Warranties decoded.
- Keep the receipt and a photo of the lot number on the box end. You'll need both for any claim or matching repair.
