Wrap Doors and profile sides (wrap, duco, etc)
Due to the nature of wrap, especially on solid colours, colour variances may occur when acquiring wrap doors. C LITE will not remanufacture, or be held liable for any colour differences in foil where goods were ordered on different dates, or manufactured in different batches. Differences in duco coats also apply to the above.
Granite and Engineered Stone
Granite is a natural porous product. Generally, any liquid spilled on a granite top, if wiped up within a few minutes, will not stain. However, even water can soak into a granite countertop and leave a dark coloured spot but this will evaporate in minutes. Liquids that do not evaporate, such as oils and wine will cause stains if left to soak into the stone. For the longevity of your granite we will suggest applying a penetrating sealer (available from most hardware stores and granite suppliers). Routine cleaning of your countertops with mild soap and water is all that is generally required. Once every 4 years, a re-application of a penetrating sealer should be performed, which only takes about 15 minutes.
Engineered stone (Quartz & resin product) will keep their enduring lustre and beauty for years to come, with minimal effort. Warm water and a splash of mild detergent is all that’s required - there’s no need to wax or seal. It’s important to be aware that like any other surface, it can be permanently damaged if exposed to strong chemicals and solvents that can damage its physical properties. Never clean surface with products that contain
Trichlorethane or Methylene chloride. Avoid the use of highly aggressive cleaning agents such as oven/grill cleaners and dishwasher polishing agents that have high alkaline/pH levels (pH 8.5 or higher). Products containing oils or powders may leave a residue and should be rinsed off thoroughly. Should your surface accidentally be exposed to any of these damaging products, rinse immediately with clean water to neutralize the effect. See warranty info on your specific product on their website.
C Lite will not be held responsible i.r.o. problems not reported within 24 hours from installation. Any client-attorney costs which may arise from this order will be paid by the client. Interest will be charged at prime rate plus 5%. It is agreed that C Lite may use any photos taken of the work done for advertising purposes.
