Commercial Flooring Report: Vol. 87, № 1 (Flooring Warranties, Merchantability for Service and Fitness for Intended Purpose of Use)


 Volume: 87 |  Issue: 1 |  Download

The biggest problem in the flooring industry is the wrong product specified or sold for use in the wrong place. All flooring material will not perform satisfactorily in all applications for any number of reasons. Merchantability for service and fitness for intended purpose of use is a promise, arising by operation of law, that something that is sold will be merchantable and fit for the purpose for which it is sold. An item is deemed merchantable if it is reasonably fit for the ordinary purposes for which such products are manufactured and sold. This is relative in this case to flooring material.

On the cover:

Featured on the Gold Book cover is Shades, a new porcelain tile collection by Imola that draws inspiration from the Mediterranean light, colors and sensations that only nature can evoke. Available in a range of nine colors, the chromatic vibrations of Shades become veritable explosions of colors where the solar hues of beige, yellow, orange and red mix with the marine colors of white, aquamarine, blue, light blue and teal to achieve bright, intense and energetic surfaces. The traditional ceramic colors and glazes have been reinterpreted with a contemporary approach, which makes Shades an extremely striking collection that is recommended for wall use indoors.
