Summary

Delamination is separation between the primary and secondary backing layers of a carpet caused by reduction or breakdown of the latex lamination system bonding the backing components together. The condition may be present prior to installation or develop during service life due to moisture exposure, flexural stress, installation tension, chemical exposure, or degradation of adhesive bond integrity over time. Separation may occur locally or across broader areas and can affect backing stability, dimensional support, and overall carpet system performance. Delamination reflects backing bond performance rather than face fiber wear, dye instability, or surface abrasion and may become visible through bubbling, rippling, looseness, or backing movement under load. See also Buckling, Cushion Noise, and Carpet Problems for broader context.
