Cross-Machine Direction (Width) Shading / Texture Variation (Resilient Sheet Vinyl)

Floor Detective® Claims and Conditions Guide

Summary

Cross-machine direction (width) shading or texture variation in resilient sheet vinyl is an appearance condition in which visual or textural differences occur from one side of the roll to the other.

The pattern is typically continuous and repeatable across the material rather than localized. The condition may be present at installation or become more noticeable under certain lighting or viewing conditions. Its presence reflects material variation and does not independently establish
