Much like the Janka Hardness scale for hardwood floors, AC Rating indicates the surface durability of Laminate Floors. There are five levels: AC1: Law durability and is only suitable for very light residential use. AC2: Medium durability and is suitable for light to medium residential use. AC3: High durability and is suitable for heavy residential and light commercial use. AC4: Very high durability and is suitable for medium commercial and all residential use. AC5: The highest level, it is suitable for heavy residential and commercial use. TIP: Always ask about the manufacturer of the floor you’re interested in. If the name sounds ambiguous or can not be verified by a physical address, website or warranty documentation; WALK AWAY.
