Procedure and Conditions of a Warranty

In the event of a warranty claim the original owner must notify the retailer, who in turn will notify Perth’s Boutique Plantation Shutters, in writing within thirty (30) days of first noticing the defect. 

Any production defects such as chips, scratches and dents must be claimed within thirty (30) days of receipt of goods. 

Written confirmation must include the following: ✓ Proof of purchase, including the original 

invoice
✓ Date of installation
✓ A brief description of the defect, including 

supporting photographs 

On receipt of the written confirmation Perth’s Boutique Plantation Shutters will determine whether the defect is covered by the Warranty. If the defect is covered by the Warranty, the product will be repaired or replaced at the sole discretion of Perth’s Boutique Plantation Shutters. 

If the defect is not covered by the Warranty, then Perth’s Boutique Plantation Shutters will inform the retailer, who will then need to advise the original owner of the options and costs related to the defect. Any replacement parts will be charged to the retailer. 

Cleaning and Care 

The surfaces of the Fauxwood Shutters will collect a layer of dust over time. Normal and regular dusting with a soft damp cloth will remove this build up. 

If further cleaning is required then wash with mild soap (mild household dishwashing liquid), water and a soft cloth. Ensure the surfaces are then dried off with a soft cloth. 

For stubborn dirt and stains use a mild, water‐based household cleaner only. 

CAUTION: 

Never use harsh cloths, harsh abrasives, chlorine or ammonia based chemicals or cleaners on the Fauxwood Shutter surfaces as they may affect the surface appearance and longevity.
