English term

joint telegraphing

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
It's about floor installation:

'Flooring installed directly over single layer wood subfloors present a higher risk for joint telegraphing'.

I found this explanation:
The floor covering industry is experiencing an on going problem that is not thoroughly understood.
This phenomenon is known as “joint telegraphing,” the unsightly appearance of abutting edges, or the
whole outline of the plywood or particle board underlayment through sheet vinyl. The appearance of
these “lines” can occur within three months or as quickly as 24 hours after the installation of the new
sheet vinyl floor covering material.
But I couldn't find a suitable translations. Thanks!!

De nuevo una traducción literal de la explicación, pero es lo único que se me ocurre

Gracias, Claudia, creo que es mejor una traducción explicativa, dado que desconozco que exista un término parecido en español (como mínimo nadie se ha pronunciado al respecto).
