Every effort will be made to ensure that colours and materials selected are as close as possible to the sample. However, due to variances in our manufacturing facilities and scheduling, we do not guarantee identical colour matching for the most common items listed below:
MARBLE: Due to the many variables that can affect the pattern and/or design, frequently the marble installed on the fireplace and thresholds will not be identical to the samples. We will make every Artistic attempt to come as close to the samples as possible but cannot be responsible for results which differ from the samples shown online on our software systems, as they are to only enhance the design experience.
STAINS: Due to the many variables that can affect the outcome of a stain colour on wood, staircases, pickets and rails will not be identical to samples. Factors such as density, age, humidity, air temperature and the uniqueness of each piece of wood can result in wide variations in darkness or lightness. We will make every attempt to come as close to the online samples as possible but cannot be responsible for results which differ from the samples. Note: the stain on pre-finished hardwood floors will not be an exact match to the stain colours available on stairs, pickets and rails. The Purchaser is responsible for choosing the stain on these areas to their satisfaction.
HARDWOOD FLOORING: The Purchaser is advised that cupping and shrinkage are characteristics of hardwood flooring normally appearing some time after installation. No warranty is provided by the flooring supplier with respect to such cupping and shrinkage. The Vendor agrees to install any hardwood flooring ordered by the Purchaser in a good and workmanlike manner. The Vendor advises that all Uniclic Engineered flooring (9/16”, ½” or 3/8” thick boards) will and can react differently to moisture, weight and humidity levels in comparison to a ¾” solid hardwood floor. Some products do not require to be nailed down and will be installed as per the manufacturer’s specifications either as a floating floor or as a Uniclic floor. Note: No two pieces of wood are identical. Variations in colour tone and grain patterns make a perfect colour match virtually impossible. It is generally agreed that these variations add to the natural beauty of wood floors.
GAS FIREPLACES: The Purchaser acknowledges that there may be additional bulkheads through the home to accommodate venting that is required for a gas fireplace. From time to time safety standards we offer are changed to ensure that the fireplaces we provide to you are up to the latest code requirements which may require aesthetic changes to the look and finish of the finished product you receive from PERFECT
MECHANICAL CEILING AREAS: Purchaser acknowledges and accepts that due to mechanical equipment required in each and every home we build may require ceiling heights to change as a result of “mechanical chases”. These areas may and could be required as an allowance to hide the equipment in the ceiling thus causing in some areas of the home bulkheads, dropped ceilings, strapped walls. PERFECT makes every attempt to structurally eliminate, these however in many circumstances is unavoidable.
INTERIOR DOORWAYS AND ARCHWAY HEIGHTS: PERFECT’s standard heights will be 6’8″ for interior doorways and archways unless stipulated on the standard features sheet.
APPLIANCES: All appliance openings to be built with a standard appliance opening provided specifications. The Purchaser shall have options on the software system to select modules that come with finish and features including changes to room configuration which may also effect appliance specification options. All PERFECT selections for available appliance specifications are provided by the software system and any updates that may require substitutions from time to time will be provided at that time.
KITCHEN CABINETS: The kitchen you purchase will undoubtedly contain light colour variations. The degree of these variations is virtually impossible to determine before the kitchen is installed in its intended location within the modules. The amount of and type of lighting will also affect various highlights in the finish. Note: No two pieces of wood are identical. Variations in colour tone and grain patterns make a perfect colour match virtually impossible. It is generally agreed that these variations add to the natural beauty of a wood kitchen.
GRANITE: Due to the many variables that can affect the pattern and/or design, frequently the granite installed on the countertops will not be identical to the samples. We will make every Artistic attempt to come as close to the samples as possible but cannot be responsible for results which differ from the samples shown. Grains may flow in opposite directions depending in the type of granite chosen if required due to specific available sizing.
CERAMIC TILES: The Purchaser is advised that shade variables may exist in some tiles. The sample tiles in the Design Centre may not be an exact match to the tiles installed in your home. Note: There may be variations of height on any flooring transition changes.
TRIM & HUMIDITY EFFECTS: Although at PERFECT Communities we have introduced to all homeowners moving forward the Hygrometer instrument on or prior to closing, the purpose of this tool is to widen the homeowners knowledge base to control humidity through out the home. Humidity can fluctuate throughout the house at different levels. For the first year it is important to ensure that the basement, main floor and second floor (if a two-storey home) are only different by 5 – 6%. Should the levels between the floors differ greater than this it is recommended to have a humidifier or dehumidifier installed on that floor level. This must be inspected by a certified heating and cooling contractor (service inspection fees may apply) to verify if required.
Although we encourage each homeowner to invest in a furnace attached humidifier and dehumidify system to ease the need to monitor these levels as the system is designed to do this for you, it is important to monitor this to avoid any damage to your home is prevented.
Should humidify levels climb too high the effects of this will be wood products such as trim, hardwood floors, wood cabinetry, furniture, exterior solid wood doors, interior wood doors, wood staircases and even some reports of hand rails have been known to swell in higher humidity times (typically summer months) when the air conditioning units are running or just because summer months are know for higher humidity levels in general.
The reverse effect happens when humidity levels drop (typically in winter months) which causes excessive cracking in trim separating from the wall, interior doors starting to rub when opening and closing to mention a few.
Thus the reason for controlling humidity In the home keeping it consistent through out all 12 months of the year will avoid these sudden levels increasing or dropping.
Should level changes happen and be proven to be the cause of damaged wood products in the home warranty in providing any repairs would not be authorized. The hygrometer we provide at the least will provide the homeowner a warning of the changes that are starting to occur so that awareness known.
Please feel free to contact anyone of our sales representatives to discuss any of these concerns further. Our mission is to be transparent to you the buyer of what affects may transpire as a result of natural changes that we commonly find which have been noted above.
