Alberta Door Systems warrants all vinyl frames and components against such defects in material and workmanship that might result in blistering, peeling, flaking, corroding, de-lamination or fading within generally accepted industry standards for the time period stated. The colour warranty pertains to manufacturing defects and has no bearing to UV exposure that occurs naturally on an exterior surface.

Alberta Door Systems warrants that all factory-applied paint finishes to vinyl frames, fiberglass or steel door panels and all factory-applied stain finishes to stainable laminates frames (Lifetime Entry Door System), fiberglass door panels will be free of any “finish defect” for the time period stated.
