Educational Disclaimer
Effective Date: 10/15/2026
General Educational Information
American Parqueteur provides articles, videos, podcasts, community discussions, and other resources to support learning about hardwood flooring and related professional topics. This information is general education and does not replace evaluation of a specific project or advice from an appropriately qualified professional.
A technique, product, or experience described on the website may not be suitable for your conditions. You are responsible for deciding whether information applies to your work.
Evaluate the Jobsite
Wood species, flooring construction, subfloor condition, moisture, temperature, humidity, existing coatings, installation methods, and other factors can affect the correct approach. Photos and written descriptions may leave out important details.
Do not rely on a post, video, or message as a complete diagnosis or as approval to proceed with a project. Obtain appropriate testing, inspection, and professional advice when needed.
Follow Product Instructions and Applicable Requirements
Review current manufacturer instructions, product labels, safety data sheets, applicable codes, and project specifications. Information on the website does not override those requirements. Verify that any technical standard cited is current and applicable.
Product formulations, instructions, availability, and requirements can change. A historical article or recording may not reflect the latest guidance.
Safety Comes First
Flooring work may involve machinery, airborne dust, chemicals, flammable materials, noise, lifting, and other hazards. Use suitable training, protective equipment, ventilation, dust controls, and safe operating procedures for the actual task.
Educational content is not a site-specific safety plan. Do not disturb suspected hazardous materials or attempt work beyond your training or qualifications based solely on website content.
Member and Guest Opinions
Members, podcast guests, contributors, and interviewees speak for themselves unless clearly identified as an authorized representative speaking for American Parqueteur. Their views do not automatically represent our position.
We do not independently verify every statement, credential, product recommendation, or project description. Membership, a directory listing, or publication of a contribution is not a certification or guarantee of a person's work.
Products, Business Advice, and Results
A product mention or external link is not a guarantee of performance, suitability, or availability. Evaluate products and service providers independently. Relevant sponsorships or compensated relationships should be disclosed with the applicable content.
Business discussions, estimating examples, and descriptions of past results are educational examples, not promises of revenue, profit, project outcomes, or customer satisfaction. Legal, tax, insurance, financial, and other specialized questions should be addressed with an appropriate professional.
Corrections and Questions
We welcome reports of factual errors, outdated material, unsafe advice, or missing context. Email info@americanparqueteur.com with a link and an explanation so the concern can be reviewed.
This disclaimer supplements our Terms of Use. It does not exclude responsibilities or rights that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.
