Dark or Light Bands at Seams (Barber Pole Yarn Carpets)

Floor Detective® Claims and Conditions Guide

Summary

Dark or light bands at seams in barber pole yarn carpets are appearance-related conditions caused by improper yarn row alignment during seam construction. The condition occurs when carpet breadths are joined without maintaining the intended light-to-dark yarn sequencing established during tufting. The resulting band is localized at the seam and reflects cumulative light reflectance (optical reinforcement) rather than dye variation, fiber damage, or manufacturing defect.
