Guarantees and Product Warranties [Abstract]  
Product warranties Product Warranties
The Company accrues warranty obligations associated with certain products as revenue is recognized. Provisions for the warranty obligations are based upon historical experience of costs incurred for such obligations, adjusted for site‑specific risk factors, and, as necessary, for current conditions and factors. There are significant uncertainties and judgments involved in estimating warranty obligations, including changing product designs, differences in customer installation processes and future claims experience which may vary from historical claims experience.
A reconciliation of the activity related to the accrued warranty, including both the current and long‑term portions, is as follows:
