Manufacturing Warranty & Quality Assurance

As experienced professionals and craftsmen, our reputation is built into every product we manufacture.

Twelve Year Limited Warranty

SpecialtyStainless.com, a division of Eskay Metal Fabricating, (referred hereafter as Eskay), warrants that all of our custom fabricated countertops and sinks will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of Twelve years from the original date of sale under normal residential use. This warranty is extended to the original purchaser for products installed in residential applications in their original location. If a product is determined by Eskay to be defective under the terms of this warranty, Eskay will, at our discretion, repair or replace the product without charge.

Countertops provided with wood substrates by Eskay must be installed within 10 days from receipt in order to be covered by our warranty. Prolonged extreme temperatures, excessive moisture, and vertical storage may adversely affect the internal drying of the lamination adhesive.
