• Joins — A carpet join will be at its most obvious when it is first done, it will slowly bed down with time and become less noticeable.
• Pressure Marks — These marks are caused by a circular roll of carpet that has been sitting on a warehouse shelf for a period of time. It manifests itself in dark lines running across the carpet. These marks are temporary and once all the pile of the carpet becomes consistent they will disappear with time.
• Core marks — Are caused by the start of the roll being rolled around a cardboard tube, then the edge of the carpets digs back into itself, this causing a “core mark” which looks like a bad join and will always be approximately 20 — 30cm away from the skirting boards. As the same with pressure marks, they are temporary and will disappear with time.
• Permanent Pile Reversal — Is a phenomenon that can appear in any cut pile carpet. Its occurrence is random and its causes are largely unexplained. It is also commonly referred to as watermarking, pooling or puddling. A cut pile carpet that has “shaded” will show areas lighter or darker than the surrounding carpet pile. Despite extensive research and development of methods and techniques to minimize the occurrence of shading, the characteristic is not predictable.
