Phillips Roll Chair Test – Carpet Backing Stability

Floor Detective® Laboratory Testing Reference

Summary

The Phillips Roll Chair Test evaluates carpet backing stability under repeated rolling chair traffic. The procedure simulates concentrated stresses imposed by office chairs and is commonly used during investigations involving backing distortion, separation, delamination, or structural instability. Results provide comparative laboratory information and should be interpreted together with carpet construction, field observations, and other laboratory findings.
