Abstract
A vinyl structure is made by a specific technique which yields an embossed top layer and a foam base. The embossed top layer is made of a material which fuses and which is embossable at a lower temperature than the base foam. After the two layers are formed, the product is heated to a point which will soften the top layer, but not the foam base and consequently embossing will affect only the top layer.
