Timber strips are natural materials containing veins and tonal differences. Thus, it is not possible to achieve total consistency of colour and grain in their selection and installation. Timber strips are also subject to thermal expansion and contraction beyond the control of the builder and the Vendor.

Notwithstanding this note, the Vendor shall remain fully responsible for the performance of its obligations under clauses 9 and 17.

Marble/Limestone/Granite (if applicable)
Marble/limestone/granite (if applicable) are natural stone materials containing veins with tonality differences. There will be colour and markings caused by their complex mineral composition and incorporated impurities. While such materials can be pre-selected before installation, this non-conformity in the marble/limestone/granite (if applicable) as well as non-uniformity between pieces cannot be totally avoided. Granite tiles are pre-polished before laying and care has been taken for their installation. However, granite, being a much harder material than marble, cannot be re-polished after installation. Hence, some differences may be felt at the joints. Subject to clause 14.3, the tonality and pattern of the marble, limestone or granite (if applicable) selected and installed shall be subject to availability.
