Minor cosmetic conditions, including surface irregularities, scratches, or blemishes that do not affect structural or thermal performance, are excluded from this warranty.
Minor surface blistering, pinholing, or irregularities caused by thermal expansion or contraction of entrapped gases or blowing agents are normal characteristics of foam-core panel manufacture. These conditions are cosmetic only and are not defects or grounds for rejection or warranty claim.
Products shall be evaluated for visual acceptability under normal lighting conditions from a distance of not less than eight (8) feet, or the intended installed viewing distance, whichever is greater. Minor variations in color, gloss, texture, or finish consistency that are normal to coil-coated metals and that do not materially affect structural or thermal performance are not defects.
