Abrasion Class Rating System
brief description of what the technical page is about
The Abrasion Class rating system (also known as AC rating), is the industry standard for determining the durability of a laminate product. AC ratings are specified after extensive product testing for impact resistance and potential abrasion from general foot traffic, pets, furniture legs and castors. If a floor meets or exceeds the basic requirements in all of these areas, it is assigned an AC rating between 1 and 5, with 5 being the highest and thus most durable (suitable for heavy commercial traffic). Below is a quick and simple overview of the 5 AC ratings:
AC1 - Suitable for home use with minimal foot traffic, such as in guest rooms.
AC2 - Suitable for home use with medium foot traffic, such as in a dining room or living room.
AC3 - Suitable for home use with all levels of foot traffic, including high-traffic areas such as entryways, kitchens, family rooms, and playrooms.
AC4 - Suitable for home use in all traffic areas and for standard commercial use, such as in office buildings.
AC5 - Suitable for home use and heavy commercial traffic, such as in hotels or department stores.
