"Misuse" of a door includes, but is not limited to, using a door on part of a building without providing adequate overhang or an appropriate finish color. Adequate overhang depends on the typical weather conditions of the area where the door is to be used, but typically means an overhang projecting a distance from the structure one half the elevation difference between the bottom of the door and the base of the overhang structure at the point which is farthest from the door. In order to reduce the chance of warping or checking, dark colored finishes should be avoided on all surfaces, especially on light colored wood species, or if the door is exposed to direct sunlight;

  1. The discoloration or rusting of decorative metal accent options, (Grilles, Clavos, Straps, etc.)

  2. Knot placement, quantity, or size found on knotty alder;

  3. Raised (hair like) grain found on wire brushed surface.

  4. Damage due to trimming more than 1/2" from the top or 1-1/2" from the bottom;

  5. Damage caused by failure to comply with the Care, Handling or Finishing; to include but not limited to damage caused by failing to seal all six (6) sides of the door.

  6. Failure to perform normal homeowner's maintenance, including maintaining the finish (factory finish or non-factory finish);

  7. Product failure due to improper or incorrect installation;

  8. Attempts to repair The-Wood Studio products other than by The-Wood Studio;

  9. Hardwood surface checks that are less than 1/32" in width and/or 2" in length; Knotty Alder surface checks that are less than 1/8" in width and/or 5" in length;

  10. Panel movement (shrinkage) of 1/4" or less. Temperature and humidity may cause the wood panels in your door to shrink, leaving an unstained line along the panel edge. The panels in your door have been designed to "float."

  11. Damage caused by extreme temperature buildup where a storm door is utilized. Storm doors must be vented to eliminate this temperature buildup;

  12. Slight expansion or contraction due to varying environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity;

  13. If the claimed non-conformity is warp, The-Wood Studio may defer repairing or replacing the product for a period of up to twelve (12) months from the date of claim or the date when the product was installed, as it is not uncommon for a temporary warp condition to occur as the door adjust to local humidity and temperature conditions.

  14. Doors made in other wood than genuine Burmese Teak grade A
