AC Rating Explained
AC rating is a common term used to indicate the durability level of laminate flooring. AC ratings are applied to every line of laminate floors by an independent body known as European Producers of Laminate Flooring (EPLF). These ratings are a brief code of a laminate‘s resistance to stress and help buyers understand the difference in durability among laminate flooring products.
5G Explained
This innovation helps you to save time. The 5G connection is one of the most advanced connecting systems on the market and is simultaneously the fastest and easiest method to install laminate flooring. 5G uses the so-called "single action" method. This means that the head side of the floor element is simultaneously locked into the long side with a click. The secret is a removable glass fibre spring on the short side of the panel. The locking method is activated by a simple folding down motion. No tools at all are needed. A finger pressure suffices to lock the boards together.
