Duro Guarantee

A guarantee you can claim

Every Duro product is covered against manufacturing defects and against termite and borer infestation, for up to a lifetime. This page sets out what you get, and how to claim it.

What the guarantee covers?

Products under the Duro brand are covered against manufacturing defects and against insect infestation, including termite and borer. Cover applies to the product named on your guarantee certificate, and every claim is confirmed by inspection.

  • Live termite or borer infestation in the Duro product named on your certificate
  • Structural damage to that product caused by the infestation
  • Manufacturing defects in that product, confirmed on inspection

What counts as a manufacturing defect? A fault in the manufacture of the panel itself, such as bond failure or delamination under the conditions the grade is rated for. It does not include damage caused by site conditions, handling, installation or use outside the product’s rated application.

What do you receive?

Two kinds of problem, two kinds of settlement. Which applies depends on what the inspection finds.

Termite or borer infestation Manufacturing defect
3X the value of the defective product, or the value of the furniture, whichever is lower. Duro HDMMR is settled at 1X on the same basis. See the table in “How long you are covered?” section. Free replacement with an equivalent Duro product. The 3X money back does not apply to defect claims.

“Affected material” means the panels with confirmed infestation or defect, and the panels directly next to them. It does not mean the full quantity purchased.

Total liability under one certificate does not exceed the remedy for a single claim. Settlement does not extend the guarantee period. Removal and re-installation costs, labour, freight, taxes, hardware, fittings, adhesives, laminates, polish and finishing, and any indirect or consequential loss, are excluded.

How long you are covered?

Coverage length depends on the Duro product named on your certificate.
