Roll-Core Crush / Pile Reversal (Carpet)

Floor Detective® Claims and Conditions Guide

Summary

Roll-core crush, sometimes called a tube line, is an appearance condition that develops near the beginning of a carpet roll. It occurs when the pile is tightly wrapped around the roll core and becomes compressed and bent in the opposite direction. When the carpet is unrolled, this area may appear as a light or dark band running across the width. The condition is related to packaging, storage, and handling and does not involve fiber damage, color change, backing failure, or structural breakdown and may be confused with conditions such as shading, pile reversal, or side match.
