Abstract:
A textured surface covering comprising:a) a pre-textured substrate and a layer overlying said pre-textured substrate; and b) said layer comprising a melt processed polymer resin composition; c) said pre-textured substrate having a pre-textured surface; d) said layer having a first surface adjacent said pre-textured surface and a second surface spaced from said pre-textured surface; and e) said layer conforming to said pre-textured surface, whereby the first and second surfaces substantially follow the contours of the pre-textured surface; wherein said layer is substantially uniform in thickness, wherein the thickness of said layer varies no more than about 20%, wherein the difference in height of the pre-textured surface is at least about 2 mils vertical distance over no more than about 20 mils horizontal distance, and wherein the viscosity of the melt processable composition during application to the pre-textured surface of the substrate is from about 4,500 to about 70,000 poise.
