Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a full and limited warranty?

A full warranty requires the manufacturer to repair or replace a defective product within a reasonable time and without charge, while a limited warranty restricts coverage to certain parts or conditions. Most fabricated metal products use a limited warranty to exclude labor or shipping costs.

How long should my warranty period be?

Typical warranty periods for fabricated metal products range from 1 to 5 years, depending on the product's intended use and environmental exposure. For example, outdoor structural steel might have a longer warranty against corrosion if properly coated, while custom sheet metal parts may have a shorter period.

Can I exclude coverage for corrosion?

Yes, you can exclude corrosion if you specify that the warranty does not cover rust or corrosion resulting from environmental conditions, lack of maintenance, or exposure to corrosive chemicals. However, if you provide a finish (e.g., powder coating), you may warrant against coating defects under normal use.
