Every piece of office furniture should be considered an investment. As such, it must be treated with appropriate care. However, from installation to everyday use, you may fall into one of the five traps that can ultimately void your warranty.
The company that installs your office furniture needs to understand that there are many nuances to consider when dealing with warranties. A state certified installation company for manufacturers, such as Toronto based Choice Office Installations, will understand how to prevent warranty problems down the road.
If you make any kind of modifications to your office furniture, you could void your warranty. This can mean everything from adding hardware to trying to reconfigure the furniture yourself.
Make sure that any warehousing of your office furniture is done carefully. Even if you’re just storing it temporarily, you could run into a warranty issue if you haven’t stored it in a humidity-controlled location.
If you want your fabric-covered furnishings, such as chairs and sofas, to have some kind of protective cover on their surfaces, make sure you check with the manufacturer first. By adding anything additional, you might be out of luck if you ever have an issue.
Finally, it’s important to recognize that any neglect of the office furniture will void the warranty. Therefore, if proper maintenance has not been done, the office furniture manufacturer will not accept any responsibility.
The good news, of course, is that by partnering with companies like Choice Office Installations, the chance of a warranty slip-up is greatly minimized upon installation of the product. That definitely gets any company off on the right start.
