Warranties
Two Warranties. Complementary Protection.
Your Bigfoot Door system has manufacturer warranty coverage for specified product defects, finishes, glass, hardware, and other components. The Window Centre’s craftsmanship warranty addresses a different aspect of your investment: the installation work performed by our team.
We believe a premium door system deserves equally careful installation. Our 2 Year Craftsmanship Warranty provides additional coverage for eligible installation-related concerns, separate from Bigfoot Door’s manufacturer warranty.
What Does Our Craftsmanship Warranty Cover?
For two years following substantial completion of your installation, The Window Centre stands behind the workmanship performed by our installation team, including:
-
Door Alignment & Operation: Proper positioning, levelling, squaring, and initial adjustments to support smooth operation and appropriate clearances.
-
Installation & Secure Fitting: Correct fastening and installation of your Bigfoot Door system in accordance with the scope of the original project.
-
Insulation & Weatherproofing: Installation-related shimming, insulation, perimeter sealing, and weatherproofing completed as part of the original installation.
-
Interior & Exterior Finishing: Workmanship associated with trim, caulking, and related finishing details included in your original installation agreement.
-
Workmanship-Related Corrections: Assessment and correction of deficiencies directly attributable to our original installation work, including necessary adjustments to address those deficiencies.
Bigfoot Door Manufacturer Warranty
-
Aluminum Finishes: 10 years against manufacturing defects resulting in chalking, fading, loss of adhesion, or abnormal corrosion. Minor blemishes, scratches, scuffs, and normal variations in finish or texture are excluded.
-
Insulated Glass: 10 years against permanent visual obstruction caused by premature glass failure or failure of the glass seal. Where a qualifying claim is accepted, replacement glass is shipped to the original purchase location. Glass breakage, including spontaneous breakage, is not covered.
-
Hardware: Hinges, handles, locking mechanisms, and rollers are covered for 10 years against premature failure. Bigfoot Door will ship replacement parts to the original purchase location for qualifying claims.
-
Other Product Components: Components not specifically covered by the longer warranties generally receive 2-year coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. The manufacturer identifies tracks, weather-stripping, electronics, and electrical components among these items.
-
Electronic Components: A separate 2-year warranty covers specified electronic components, including motors, sensors, actuators, and wiring harnesses, against defects in materials and workmanship.
Important Warranty Conditions
Bigfoot Door’s warranty is subject to exclusions and maintenance requirements. Coverage may not apply to problems arising from improper installation, waterproofing, handling, modification, or maintenance; unsuitable building moisture management; normal wear; corrosive environmental conditions; or accidental glass breakage. Temporary bowing or warping caused by extreme temperature or humidity fluctuations is also excluded.
Regular maintenance is essential. Bigfoot Door recommends cleaning windows at least annually, cleaning sliding-door tracks, lubricating appropriate hardware, and inspecting seals and weather-stripping each year. More frequent cleaning may be required in coastal or harsher environments. Neglecting maintenance or failing to protect products during construction can affect warranty coverage.
