  • Product has not been used for its intended purpose.
  • Product has not been maintained in accordance with care and maintenance guidelines and instructions.
  • Product has not been installed by a licensed electrician where this is a requirement of installation.
  • Product has been incorrectly or improperly installed or modified.
  • Product has been mishandled due to accident, fire, lightning, shipment or other natural or man-made event.
  • Product has been subjected to excessive pressure, for example, sitting or standing on, or applying undue force to the product, which would be considered outside normal use.
  • Product is immersed in, or otherwise inappropriately exposed to water or other liquids.

Your warranty does not cover:

  • Damage from misuse of product, including improper care that is included in our care guide.
  • The development of pinholes and colour variation that is a natural occurrence with concrete products. These are not considered manufacturing defects.
  • Product has not been used for its intended purpose.
  • Product has not been installed by a licensed electrician where this is a requirement of installation.
  • Product has been incorrectly or improperly installed or modified.
  • Product has been mishandled due to accident, fire, lightning, shipment or other natural or man-made event.

  • Product, in the case of lighting, is immersed in, or otherwise inappropriately exposed to water or other liquids.

Due to the unique characteristics of each Crete Studio piece, the Warranty is not intended to apply where the claimed defect is trivial or insubstantial and better categorised as a natural variation in size, shape, shade, colour and surface texture due to the manufacturing process used. Where the product is installed in full awareness of such product characteristics, the Warranty will not apply in respect of any claimed defect about product appearance and the like.
