how durable is your laminate flooring?An important step in choosing a laminate floor is determining the level of durability you require.

Industry certified AC Ratings help you decide if a laminate floor has the right durability for your

particular project. You’ll find the AC rating for each product shown on the Product Detail page.

here are the levels of ac ratings:

shopping centers, and office buildings.

Laminate flooring is both practical and beautiful. Color, texture and overall appearance are the

main attributes most people look for when choosing new laminate flooring for their home. But,

knowing the AC Rating of your selection will give you the added confidence that you are making

the right choice for your purpose and for your pocketbook.
