How is any of this different than anything you have?

You say you have a warranty IF YOUR PRODUCT FAILS. You DO NOT warrant if the cement mixture is wrong, if the spray and pray applicator had a bad day and left puddles of product all over. You do not warrant if the adhesive skinned over before flooring began, you do not warrant if the floor has jet airplanes landing on it.

Your warranty is EXACTLY the same as the flooring manufacturer's. You have a set of limits and you warrant up to those limits. The flooring manufacturer may say they warrant to 85% RH that their adhesive will NOT fail due to moisture. Some warrant to 90% and some even to 95%.

And I know of many manufacturers that will warrant product and installation of their flooring if it met requirements at installation. In fact I would go out on a limb and say every manufacturer will warrant their product fully if the installation requirements are met. Moisture doesn't magically appear from nowhere. If you properly construct a slab and properly test it you are going to succeed.

You show me a failure and I'll show you where the specs weren't followed somewhere along the line.

This has already been explained to you ad nauseum. Even Robert...the very same Robert you claim is against the technology I represent (he is not), has explained to you how it can fail. You are 100% correct...manufacturers will warrant their product when installed if requirements are met at installation AND if there is a failure after installation where the testing is holding true to what it was prior to install.

But when you have a failure....and it is not an install issue, if the testing at time of failure is the same at time of install...and it is within the pre install guidelines...yes you should have a warranty. That warranty would be against PRODUCT failure. The adhesive did not perform as per its spec.

But what happens when it meets at preinstall...floor in isnstalled, a few weeks or months later it fails...it is tested...and now it is outside of mfgr requirements. Without a warranty from a quality mitigation system...the flooring manufactuer, the adhesive manufacturer will say "your floor failed the test results are outside of our parameters...have a nice day."
That is the difference between a product failure and a MVE failure.

you are too smart not to get this simple concept....you are remaining ignorant on purpose. We see through you
