INTEGRITY WINDOWS AND DOORS
LIMITED WARRANTY
19912467 Integrity Windows and Doors
January 1, 2014 Limited Warranty
This Limited Warranty applies to Integrity® windows and doors purchased from an authorized Integrity dealer, and extends to the owner of
the structure in which the products are originally installed. This Limited Warranty is fully transferable. This Limited Warranty is applicable
only to product installed in the U.S.A. and Canada. For information on warranties available in other countries, please contact Integrity at
the address or phone number below.
GLASS COMPONENTS
Glass warranties apply to factory-installed glass or Integrity-supplied glass installed by Integrity-authorized service personnel. Clear
insulating glass with stainless steel spacers is warranted against seal failure resulting in visible obstruction through the glass for twenty (20)
years. Non-tempered glass is warranted against stress cracks caused by manufacturing defects for ten (10) years. All other glass and
glass features are provided with the same warranties, limitations, and exclusions Integrity receives from its supplier; contact Integrity for
further details.
NON-GLASS COMPONENTS
Non-glass components are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects for ten (10) years. Hardware with physical vapor deposition
(“PVD”), and other specifically-designated “coastal” hardware finishes (collectively “Coastal Hardware”) installed in coastal environments
(within one (1) mile of a sea coast or other salt water source) are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects that result in abnormal
deterioration of the finish for a period of 10 years. Other hardware finishes are not warranted in coastal environments.
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
This Limited Warranty is made as of the original date of product purchase and is not a warranty of future performance. Warranty notice
periods begin on the original date of purchase. If a covered defect is reported during the term of the applicable warranty notice period and
otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Limited Warranty, Integrity will, at its option, repair or replace the product or component, or
refund the price paid for the defective product or component. Removal, installation, finishing, refinishing, and disposal costs and services
are not included. Integrity will endeavor to supply original replacement parts; however, replacement parts may differ from the original parts.
Replacement parts, including upgrades, are warranted for the remainder of the original product warranty.
EXCLUSIONS
Damage, defects, or problems resulting from causes outside Integrity’s control are excluded from coverage under the Limited Warranty.
Such causes include, without limitation:
Installation, Maintenance, and Acts of God
installation not in conformance with Integrity’s installation instructions and applicable building codes
non-standard installation, such as non-vertical or sloped glazing, upside down, or out-of square
installation or use in applications exceeding design standards
field mulls; field finishes
insulating glass installed more than 5000 feet above sea level without capillary tubes (except as specifically provided in the Integrity
Limited Warranty High Altitude Supplement)
installation or use of Wood-Ultrex® product near pools, saunas, hot tubs, or other high-humidity environments
failure to follow Integrity’s care and maintenance instructions
failure to properly treat, seal, and maintain exposed wood
use of brick wash, razor blades or other inappropriate cleaners or chemicals
misuse, abuse, modification, alteration, accident, negligence
shifting or settling of the structure in which the product is installed
extreme weather events, extreme or unusual atmospheric conditions
normal wear and tear; normal discoloration or fading of finishes
variation in wood color, texture, and grain
glass imperfections consistent with ASTM or other industry standards which do not affect structural integrity
war, insurrection, civil unrest, terrorism, or Acts of God
Warp.
Bow, twist, and warp shall not be considered defects unless in excess of ¼” in the plane of the door. Action on claims for bow, twist, or
warp may be deferred at Integrity’s option for a period not to exceed (12) months after installation to permit the door in question to
acclimate to temperature and humidity conditions.
Water Management.
Products installed in wall systems that do not allow for proper moisture management, such as exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS)
or “synthetic stucco” without effective engineered drainage systems, are not covered under the Limited Warranty.
Thermal Efficiency.
Integrity does not warrant the amount or percentage of argon or other inert gas present in insulating glass at any time after manufacture.
Inert gas dissipates over time, and may be ineffective in products manufactured with capillary tubes. Thermal efficiencies vary with the
application of the product. Integrity does not warrant a specific level of thermal efficiency will be maintained by inert gas, low emissivity
coatings, or other product features.

Condensation.
Condensation is not a product defect, but the result of excess humidity. Condensation, frost, or mold, mildew, or fungus on product
surfaces is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
Finish Degradation.
Degradation or failure of the Ultrex® finish, hardware, or other components due to environmental conditions such as air pollutants, acid
rain, chemicals, or exposure to other corrosive or abrasive substances is not covered by the Limited Warranty. Follow Integrity’s care and
maintenance instructions, available at www.integritywindows.com/Care-Maintenance
Screens.
Screens are not designed to, and will not, prevent falls.
Window Opening Control Devices.
Window Opening Control Devices (WOCDs) are not a substitute for careful supervision of children. WOCDs must be tested at least
monthly. Follow all safety information and instructions provided with WOCDs. This information is also available online at
www.integritywindows.com/wocd-safetyinformation.
DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS, AND ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Disclaimers.
This Limited Warranty is the only warranty, written or oral, express or implied, provided by Integrity. No dealer, employee, or
agent of Integrity, nor any third party, may create or assume any other liability, obligation, or responsibility on behalf of Integrity.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. Any implied warranty which cannot be disclaimed under applicable law will be limited in duration
to the shortest permissible term and, in any event, will not exceed the term of the applicable express limited warranty; the
requirements for presenting any claim so affected will be as provided in this Limited Warranty. Any product or component not
specifically subject to this Limited Warranty or another written Integrity product warranty is provided AS IS and without warranty.
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which may vary from state to state.
THIS WARRANTY IS NOT A WARRANTY OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE OR A STATEMENT OF THE USEFUL LIFE OF ANY
INTEGRITY PRODUCT, BUT ONLY A WARRANTY TO REPAIR, REPLACE, OR REFUND.
Limitations.
IN NO EVENT WILL INTEGRITY BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL INTEGRITY’S
LIABILITY EXCEED THE PRICE PAID FOR THE AFFECTED PRODUCT OR COMPONENT. The limitations of warranty and liability set
forth herein shall survive and apply, even if the exclusive remedy set forth in this Limited Warranty is found to have failed of its essential
purpose.
CERTIFICATIONS AND RATINGS
Many standard Integrity products are labeled with the Window & Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) Hallmark Certification. WDMA
Certification is based on the performance of a single sample of the product at the time of manufacture. Many standard Integrity products
are labeled with National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) ratings. NFRC ratings are based on a combination of computer simulations
and physical testing of product samples. Certifications and ratings typically apply to single products only; however certain factory-mulled or
combined product configurations may also be certified. Performance of individual products may vary and will change over time, depending
upon the conditions of use. WDMA certifications and NFRC ratings are not performance warranties. For details on Hallmark Certification,
go to www.WDMA.com. For details on NFRC Energy Performance ratings, go to www.NFRC.org.
SUITABILITY
Determining the suitability and compliance with local or other applicable building codes or standards, of all building components, including
the use of any Integrity product, and the design and installation of any flashing or sealing system, is the responsibility of the buyer, user,
architect, contractor, installer, and/or other construction professional. Integrity will not be liable for any problem or damage relating to
inappropriate or faulty building design or construction, maintenance, installation, or selection of products. Windows and doors are only one
element of a structure; Integrity does not warrant that third party certification of a building or project to any specific standard will be
achieved through the use of any Integrity product.
NO WAIVER
Integrity may, in its discretion, extend benefits beyond what is covered under this Limited Warranty. Any such extension shall apply only to
the specific instance in which it is granted, and shall not constitute a waiver of Integrity’s right to strictly enforce the exclusions, disclaimers,
and limitations set forth in this Limited Warranty in any or all other circumstances.
