AC5 Laminate Flooring - Use and Benefits

A lot of people assume that because a certain laminate is thicker or has a longer warranty, that it is more durable and longer-lasting. This is not necessarily the case. That is why the European Producers of Laminate Flooring (EPLF) has developed the Abrasion Rating System also called AC Rating. Every laminate is rated based on a series of rigorous tests, including tabor abrasion test, burn resistance, impact resistance, stain resistance, and swelling under moist conditions. EPLF adopted a standard based rating which helps buyers understand the differences in durability among laminate flooring products.

When you are looking for laminate flooring the very first question you should ask is "What is the AC Rating for this floor."

For higher traffic choose higher AC number, this way you can safely enjoy your new floor for years to come without worry.
