Floor Detective® Claims and Conditions Guide

Summary

Pattern elongation, also referred to as pattern run-off, is an appearance-related dimensional condition in which the length of a carpet pattern repeat varies between rolls or breadths. Pattern elongation describes the measurable change in repeat spacing along the machine direction, while pattern run-off describes the visible misalignment that occurs when adjacent breadths do not align during installation. The condition typically develops during manufacturing due to unequal linear tension or dimensional stabilization during processing. Pattern elongation affects visual alignment only and does not indicate loss of
