Manufacturer warranties are connected to the carpet you choose.
One carpet may have different warranty terms than another. Instead of listing hundreds of product warranties online, Royal helps you understand the warranty connected to the carpet selected for your home.

- Coverage may include stain, soil, wear, fade, or texture terms

Stairs + Heavy Use
Stairs may have different warranty expectations.
Carpet on stairs receives concentrated traffic, pressure, and flexing. Some manufacturer warranties may limit or treat stair coverage differently depending on the product warranty.
- Stairs are high-impact, high-flex areas
- Coverage may differ by manufacturer and carpet product
- Royal helps set expectations before installation
Pets + Daily Life
Warranty protection works best with realistic care habits.
Pets, kids, spills, and busy rooms are part of real life. Warranty protection depends on product terms, proper maintenance, fast cleanup, and choosing carpet and padding that fit the home.
- Clean spills and pet accidents quickly
- Follow the product care guide
- Keep cleaning and purchase records

Things That May Affect Coverage
Warranty protection works best when expectations are clear.
These situations may affect manufacturer coverage, installation coverage, or both depending on the product, the cause, and the warranty terms.
Manufacturer Warranty
What may affect product coverage.
Manufacturer coverage depends on the carpet product and the written warranty terms for that carpet.
Improper cleaning or missing receipts
Wrong cleaning products, over-wetting, harsh chemicals, or missing professional cleaning records may affect manufacturer coverage.
Moisture, flooding, or leaks
Water damage, plumbing leaks, basement moisture, flooding, or moisture from below the floor are typically outside normal product warranty coverage.
Pet damage and unusual accidents
Pet damage, repeated accidents, odor saturation, burns, cuts, abuse, or damage after installation can affect warranty coverage.
Stairs and unusual traffic
Stairs, rolling chairs, exercise equipment, heavy furniture movement, and unusual wear conditions may have different limitations.
Installation Warranty
Generally outside workmanship coverage.
Royal’s installation warranty focuses on workmanship from the original Royal carpet installation.
Moisture, flooding, or structural movement
Water damage, leaks, moisture problems, subfloor movement, structural shifting, or settling are generally outside installation workmanship coverage.
Damage after installation
Pet damage, burns, cuts, tears, stains, furniture damage, dragging damage, abuse, or accidents after installation are not installation workmanship issues.
Third-party or DIY repairs
Repairs, re-stretching, seam work, or modifications performed by someone other than Royal may affect installation warranty coverage.
Protect Your Records
Care and documentation can matter when warranty questions come up.
Follow the specific manufacturer care guide for the carpet selected. Many carpet warranties require or recommend professional hot-water extraction, often called steam cleaning, on a set schedule. Keep your cleaning receipts and product records.
