They Don’t Stand Behind Their Product.
Purchased approx 120/sq ft of Frenchwood Larch porcelain matte Brown wood-look tile planks for kitchen remodel. All total approx $900. Tile was installed in Nov 2020. After months of cleaning up construction debris/dust I began to notice every time I washed the floor this Brown color would appear on the mop pad, it didn’t matter if I had washed the floor twice before or just spot cleaned. I only use filtered or distilled water. On my hands and knees with a white towel I could see up close the Brown wood-look color literally lifting off.The pattern that gave the floor the wood-look & brown color was disappearing. After a month of trying to reach the “No Customer Service” I filed a claim submitted pictures of before (when tile was first installed)& after plus a video of the Brown color lifting off on a white towel. The claims person via phone tried to convince me the brown color on the towel in the video/pictures was the grout lifting. The grout is Charcoal. There was no charcoal color on the towel only Brown. Fast forward to F&D sending out an “Independent Floor Inspector “ at their request. Upon moving the refrigerator you could clearly see the undeniably difference in the color from the rest of the floor. It was like you were looking at 2 different floors. The report stated : the inspector found no manufacturer defects, the discoloration was due to maintenance related issues (The only maintenance was washing my floor with water.) and the “color transfer”was “soil” ( so my floor was dirty too) And to make matters worse this floor has been discontinued. As others have stated,I thought I was being pranked too by this ridiculous report. Since then I was informed I could hire my own independent inspector @ a whooping cost of $475. I checked…(just about the same price of the tile). This business does not care about the product they sell. It will cost you more to try to rectify the situation. Buyer Beware!
