Double Stick / Double Glue Installation (Carpet)

Floor Detective® Claims and Conditions Guide

Summary

Double stick, also referred to as double glue, is an adhered carpet installation system in which cushion is bonded to the substrate and carpet is bonded to the cushion using separate adhesive interfaces. System performance depends on compatibility between carpet backing, cushion construction, adhesive chemistry, substrate condition, moisture conditions, and installation technique. Observed failures typically involve bond loss, movement, or stress-related release at one or both adhesive interfaces rather than defect in the carpet face fiber or yarn system. Conditions associated with double stick systems may appear as bubbling, rippling, localized looseness, hollow movement, or surface distortion caused by adhesive failure, moisture influence, environmental stress, or rolling-load shear forces.
