What is an AC flooring rating and how do I tell what my product is rated?

Abrasion Class (AC flooring rating) indicates how abrasion or wear resistant the surface of the laminate flooring is. The higher the AC rating, the more wear resistant it will be. All Krono Original laminate is rated AC4 or higher.

AC4 – suitable for heavy domestic and medium commercial use

AC5 – suitable for heavy domestic and intensive commercial use

Another advantage of AC5 rated laminate is the laminate is thicker (12mm vs. 8mm or 10mm for AC4 laminate) which means your floor will sound a bit quieter when you walk on it. The 12mm AC5 laminate also feels more solid and less flexible underfoot compared to thinner laminates.
