Every laminate has a wear rating between AC1 and AC5 – which is determined by its ability to pass a series of tests that include an abrasion test, burn resistance, impact resistance, stain resistance and swelling under moist conditions. The higher the Abrasion Class (AC) rating, the more durable the product. Here at Floors by Design, we strongly recommend purchasing AC4 or AC5 rated laminates.
