Terms & Conditions

WARRANTY

The Elkstone warranty period commences from the date of delivery. The period of the Warranty will be:

12 month manufacturers warranty. 

All Elkstone products come with a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty. The warranty covers manufacturers defects and issues which clearly have arisen during the manufacturing process. Small pits may be present in Elkstone products, this is a natural occurrence from the moulding process. All products are Quality Controlled in the manufacturing facility by QC experts before being delivered to customers across the world. By not adhering to the care and maintenance guidelines below, may result in staining, damaging, chipping, cracking, discolouring, scratching, breaking or other damage which is the consumers fault and not the manufacturer’s fault.

Avoid unnecessary forces like heavy metal trays, chairs on the table, sharp objects. Do not cut on the surface. Avoid dragging objects across the surface.

Always Use Trivets. Hot surfaces may damage the surface sealer. Always use trivets to avoid burns or discolouration to the surface. Small cracks or warping may appear on this surface if hot items are placed directly on the Elkstone products. Use trivets when placing pots or planters, some pot materials can cause discolouration. Use trivets underneath any form of liquid vessel, this will avoid any absorption into the Elkstone product

Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals such as acids, bleaches, citric or potent cleaners. If a drink or food is spilt on the table, simply clean it off immediately with a soft cloth and if needed, warm soapy water

Elkstone tops have been sealed to be water resistant, however if water or liquid are placed on the Elkstone items, simply wipe them off immediately. Avoid placing liquid vessel directly onto product, this will avoid any water absorption.

Tested for cold temperatures but advised to take inside in extreme conditions.

Outdoor Use in covered areas only. Do not expose the tabletop to direct sunlight. Extreme heat absorption may cause tension inside the material and the surface. Small cracks may appear and/or warping to the surface if the Elkstone product gets too hot. When used outdoors undercover, cover Elkstone product with protective cover when not in use.

Avoid hard objects coming in contact with the edges of the Elkstone surface as this may lead to chipping or cracking.

Solid timber is a natural product and is responsive to changes in the environment. Small pits may be present in Elkstone products, this is a natural occurrence from the moulding process. Any movement, cracking, joint separation, bowing, splitting, or colour change in timber is not warranted. These are a natural phenomenon of timber, not a fault, and add character to the pieces. As our timber finishes are subject to everyday wear and tear, they cannot be warranted.

Subject to the Australian Consumer Law, this Warranty does not apply to any products sold as seconds, floorstock, clearance items, or products that have a defect where this has been drawn to the customer’s attention before the purchase of the product.

Elkstone's liability under this warranty is to replace, repair or refund (at its discretion) any product that has a manufacturing or material defect that is not the result of normal wear and tear, or a natural characteristic of the material used. This Warranty is not transferable and does not cover products used for commercial purposes unless previously specified. Warranty excludes any freight costs associated with the return of faulty goods and re-supply of replacement items.
