What does the AC rating mean on laminate?
The AC rating is an abrasion classification used to describe how much wear a laminate surface is designed to handle.
What should I compare when choosing laminate?
Look at the product’s wear rating, water-resistance conditions, attached pad, and installation requirements. Confirm the exact product instructions before choosing it for a kitchen, entry, or other area exposed to moisture.
