CLIMATE CONTROL AND FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOOD STABILITY
Wood products will generally perform successfully when used in a proper temperature and climate-controlled environment. Alder-Doors.com product will be dried and acclimated for high altitude (as produced at our northern Colorado factory). Relative humidity inside the home should be maintained within a range of 30%-50%. Homes without proper temperature and climate control will likely experience problems with dimensional change of the wood. Care should especially be taken during site storage and installation.

If product is ordered unfinished (i.e., without a factory-applied finish), the product should be completely finished on all six sides within 14 days of delivery. Finishing the door will minimize and slow the absorption of moisture but will not eliminate it, so proper temperature and humidity levels are important throughout storage, installation and use.

ACCURACY OF SAMPLES, VARIATION IN WOOD COLOR AND KNOTS
Sun Mountain, Inc. does its best to be as accurate with our samples as possible. However, because wood is a natural product which grows beyond our control, samples may not necessarily reflect an exact representation of the final product. Knotty Alder wood may have color variations and inherit characteristics of the environment in which the original trees were grown, and which are out of our control. For example, grain variation, color contrast between heart and sapwood, and the quantity, size and type of knots are all common sources of variation. Wood finishes can also change slightly over time with exposure to light, and will also look different based upon the underlying (substrate) wood color. For these reasons, factory-applied wood finishes on samples may vary slightly from those on the final product, and such minor differences are not considered defects.

Sun Mountain, Inc. does not grade for color in our Knotty Alder wood products. The wood color of your final product may vary slightly from reddish-brown to light tan or honey. Color variations should be expected and are not considered defects.

Because wood is a natural product, Sun Mountain, Inc. cannot control the size, quantity, location or look of knots in Knotty Alder wood. Open, star, and split knots are common. Knots which show light through the product (or which show the underlying engineered core material) will be filled. Knots which do not show light or core through the product and are not filled, should be expected, and are not considered defects.

Regardless of appearance, we warrant that all of our products will be safe, dry and structurally sound.

DOOR LIMITED WARRANTY
Sun Mountain, Inc. doors are warranted to be of sound material and workmanship and to be free of defects which would cause the door to be unfit for ordinary recommended use for the period of twelve (12) months from the date of shipment. In addition, interior doors which have been pre-finished by Sun Mountain, Inc. are warranted for an additional four (4) years. This extended warranty applies only to the construction of the door, and not the factory pre-finish itself. See Sun Mountain, Inc.’s “Finishing and Care Instructions” for details on finish maintenance.

If a defect occurs within one year from the date of shipment, written notice of the defect must be provided to Sun Mountain, Inc. Buyer shall not return any goods until Sun Mountain, Inc. has been provided a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods at Buyer’s premises to determine whether a defect exists. Sun Mountain, Inc. will not be liable for any doors repaired, returned, or replaced without prior written consent. If warranted doors contain defects covered under this limited warranty, Sun Mountain, Inc. shall be limited to, at Sun Mountain, Inc.’s option, 1) repairing or replacing the doors, or 2) refunding the purchase price of the doors to Buyer. Doors will be repaired or replaced in the same stage of fitting and/or finishing as they were originally supplied. Sun Mountain, Inc. will not pay any cost to remove defective doors or to install new doors, and will not be responsible for any finishing costs or consequential damages. Final warranty inspection will be made at Sun Mountain, Inc.’s location, upon receipt of defective product. If the claim is found by Sun Mountain, Inc., in its sole discretion, to be invalid, neither repair/replacement nor refund will be issued.

This limited warranty does NOT apply to any of the following:

• Doors more than 8′ tall or 3’6″ wide
• Lited doors or one-panel wood doors over 6’8″ tall or 3’ wide
• Doors that have warp which does NOT exceed 1/4″ in the plane of the door (see below)
• Doors less than 1-3/4″ thick for exterior use
• Doors which have not been properly sealed on all six sides within 14 days of delivery, including the top and bottom edges of the door
• Damage caused by failure to comply with Sun Mountain, Inc.’s “Finishing and Care Instructions”
• Damage due to improper or incorrect installation
• Exterior doors used in a commercial application
• Damage caused by others or by any cause beyond the control of Sun Mountain, Inc., including but not limited to damage caused by misuse, abuse, accident, mishandling or by fire, flood, earthquake, storm, tornado or other acts of nature
• Misuse of a door, including but not limited to, using a door in an exterior application without adequate overhang, or with an inappropriate exterior finish color (Note: Adequate overhang depends on the typical weather conditions of the site where the building is located, but generally means an overhang projecting a distance away from the door at least equal to one-half the elevation difference between the bottom of the door and the base of the overhang structure. In order to reduce the chance of warping or checking, dark-colored finishes should be avoided on all exterior surfaces, especially if the door is exposed to direct sunlight)
• Discoloration or rusting of decorative metal accents (clavos, grills, strap hinges, etc.)
• Damage due to trimming the door more than 1/2″ from the top or 1-1/2″ from the bottom of the slab
• Panel movement or shrinkage (Note: Panels in Sun Mountain, Inc. doors are designed to “float”, and will expand or contract in response to environmental conditions)
• Expansion or contraction due to varying environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity
• Gates, or doors used in gate applications
• The appearance of any field finished door

In addition, the following natural properties and characteristics add to the beauty of wood doors and are not considered defects:

• On all knotty wood species, knots which show light through the door will be filled and knots which do not show light through the door and are not filled should be expected and are not considered defects (Note: On knotty wood species, the location, quantity, and size of knots is unpredictable)
• On all wood species, natural variations in the color, texture, and density of the wood is common and always acceptable
• On wire brushed doors, an inconsistent face plane where stiles or mullions meet rails is acceptable to a depth change of 1/16″, and an apparent open connection between stiles and rails is acceptable to a width of 1/32″
• On cedar doors, surface checks of up to 1/32″ in width are acceptable and do not compromise the structural integrity of the door

For the purposes of this warranty, warp is defined as any distortion in the door itself and does not refer to the relationship of the door to the frame or jamb in which it is hung. The term “warp” includes bow, cup and twist. In measuring the amount of warp in a door, the following method shall be used: Bow, cup, and twist shall be measured by placing a 7′ straightedge on the suspected concave face of the door at any angle with the door in its installed position. The measurement of warp shall be made at the point of maximum distance between the bottom of the straightedge and the face of the door.

If the claimed defect is warp, Sun Mountain, Inc. may defer replacing or refunding the door for a period of up to twelve (12) months from the date of claim or date of installation, in order to permit conditioning and equalizing to humidity and temperature conditions. The deferral period will not be counted against the one-year warranty period.

CHANGES TO TERMS & CONDITIONS
These Terms & Conditions are subject to change at any time. Each order shall be subject to the specific Terms & Conditions that were in place at the time of the order. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact support by email at info@alder-doors.com or telephone at (888) 786-6861.
