Abstract: A non-directional tile (1) is obtained by surface applying and consolidating a
relatively thin, non-porous, multi-colored, resin particulate (3) decorative layer (2) onto a
backing layer (4). The non-directionality is the result of the proper selection of resin
particle size distribution and the use of contrasting colors. The result is a tile that an
ordinary observer cannot discern the machine direction and a tile floor having seams
that are indiscernible by an ordinary observer.
