Silvagrip® 3 Year Limited Warranty

Warranty:

We appreciate your trust in Silvagrip®nonskid peel and stick products.

We back our claim as being “the best nonskid peel and stick on the market” by standing behind the quality of our surface with this valuable 3 year limited warranty.

Photographs of deck preparation showing the cleaning methods used by the contractor and installation photographs at the time of installation are essential! Date stamped will help you when in a claim against the Contractors/Installer if the adhesive were to come up from the deck.

3 Year Limited Warranty

During the first 1 year of properly applied Silvagrip, we will cover 100% replacement of the affected sheet(s) of our product for premature failure in materials, delamination and workmanship of the affected Silvagrip® product; Exp: such as an excessively smooth surface or delamination of materials. We will replace any section[s] at our discretion should the surface prematurely wear below 0.40 COF per ANSI/ASSE A1264-2-2012.
