When selecting laminate flooring, there are several important factors to take into account.

First, consider the AC rating. This rating, which ranges from one to five, indicates the laminate’s durability against regular wear and tear. Laminate with an AC rating of five is the most durable option and is ideal for areas with heavy foot traffic, such as busy commercial spaces.

Next, evaluate the finish of the flooring. A smooth finish provides a plain, polished look similar to varnished hardwood. Alternatively, you might opt for an embossed or textured finish. Another option is distressed or hand-scraped laminate, which adds a vintage, antique aesthetic to your floors.

The thickness of the laminate is also an important consideration. Thicker laminate tends to offer greater durability and improved performance over time.
