Warranty

General Warranty Guidelines

The following warranty applies specifically to the owner of a permanently installed Brilliant solid surface. The installation must be from a recognized Brilliant authorized dealer, fabricator or retailer and must be purchased after (April 1, 2010) in Hong Kong and/or China. (Previous 10 year Warranty applies from Brilliant Solid Surface purchased between the date of March 1, 2000 and March 31, 2010) At its discretion, Dongguan Shihuan Building Materials Ltd. (EnviroWorld) will repair or replace, without charge, a Brilliant solid surface if it fails due to manufacturing defect(s) (as determined by an authorized dealer, retailer or service agent) during the first 15 years after initial installation. There is no repair or replacement for damage caused by physical, chemical or other abuse, damage from excessive heat, damage from use in certain applications, or acts of nature. 

Physical, chemical or other abuse includes any unreasonable use of the installation considering the normal and expected uses of such installations in a residence. It also includes but is not limited to, damage from vandalism, use of improper cleaning solutions, leaving substances such as bleach or drain cleaner on the product without prompt cleaning after spillage, the dropping of heavy objects onto the countertop or in the sink, or on the product due to improper maintenance in accordance with the Brilliant solid surface basic care guide. The basic care guide is available on the website stated above. 

Excessive heat means exposure to heat of such a degree that causes white marks, white rings and/or cracks to appear on the product. Cracking around a cooktop may appear as a result of permitting cookware that is on, or partially on, a heating element to overhang the countertop, or of using high temperatures for excessively lengthy periods of time. When placing hot objects onto the product immediately after being taken from a heat source or when exposing the product to heat, it is highly advised that a heat shield or oven rack with rubber footing be used. 

Acts of nature include, but are not limited to, exposure to the outdoors, weather effects and fire. 

This warranty does not cover products made by other suppliers or manufacturers. It also does not cover installations of Brilliant solid surface not performed by an authorized Brilliant solid surface retailer, dealer and/or fabricator. The warranty covers seam performance but not appearance. Silicone seams do not constitute as part of Brilliant solid surface installation and are therefore not covered by this warranty. Furthermore, this warranty does not cover any damage to Brilliant solid surface caused by improper installation, used or maintained appliances including garbage disposals which are built into the Brilliant solid surface or placed on the Brilliant solid surface.

Subject to the conditions below, this warranty is transferable to the next purchaser of your home provided that the new owner writes and registers the warranty with Dongguan Shihuan Building Materials Ltd. (EnviroWorld) If after, or during the installation, you decide that you do not like the colour you selected, replacement is not covered by this warranty. 

This warranty is for residential countertops only. Vertical applications in commercial area with Brilliant solid surface sinks, vanities, shower pans, steam rooms and outdoor usage, do not apply under these guidelines. For example, RVs, grill tops and outside counters and boats. In-carton products purchased at retail outlets are not covered under this warranty and should be returned to the retailer from which you purchased the product should defect occur.

Dongguan Shihuan Building Materials Ltd. (EnviroWorld) will repair any area of the installation that has a manufacturing defect. If a repair is not possible, Dongguan Shihuan Building Materials Ltd. (EnviroWorld) will replace the defective area of the installation.  Dongguan Shihuan Building Materials Ltd.

Whether Dongguan Shihuan Building Materials Ltd. (EnviroWorld) performs repair or replacement, we will seek to obtain the best possible result, but exact colour matching cannot be guaranteed.
