What to Know Before You Shop
When you're ready to invest in new floors, it's essential to understand the key differences between products for a smart investment.
- What is the AC rating? The Abrasion Class (AC) rating is a key indicator of durability. An AC3 rating is suitable for residential use, while higher ratings are best for high-traffic areas.
- What kind of texture and finish do you want? Laminate comes in a variety of finishes, from smooth, high-gloss to realistic hand-scraped or embossed textures that mimic real wood grain.
