Product Thickness
When choosing your laminate flooring, a critical factor to consider is its thickness. Laminate flooring typically spans from 6mm to 12mm. Opting for a thicker laminate not only enhances sound absorption but also provides a more authentic underfoot feel. Importantly, thicker laminate flooring shows greater resistance to bending or bouncing, sometimes referred to as "springboarding". This makes it more stable and less prone to warping, lending to the longevity of the floor. So remember, when deciding on laminate flooring, its thickness is a key component in ensuring a comfortable, durable, and stable flooring solution.
Moisture Resistant
Moisture-resistant laminate flooring is a smart choice for spaces that encounter dampness or spills. Implementing techniques such as foam noodles, which are placed around the room's perimeter beneath the floor to seal the edges, and applying silicone to the expansion gap for a watertight seal, effectively elevates the floor's resistance to moisture. By opting for a moisture-resistant laminate and these protective measures, you ensure your flooring's resilience and longevity, even with all of life's "oops" moments.
AC Rating
The Abrasion Class (AC) rating is a critical aspect to consider when selecting laminate flooring. The AC rating measures a floor's resistance to abrasion, impact, staining, and burning, indicating its durability and suitability for different settings. AC ratings range from AC1 (light residential use) to AC5 (heavy commercial use). An understanding of these ratings can guide you to choose laminate flooring that is well-suited to withstand the expected foot traffic and usage of your specific environment, ensuring optimal performance and lifespan of your floor.
Laminate Pad
Laminate padding with built-in vapor barriers plays a significant role in enhancing the performance and lifespan of your laminate flooring. The padding provides a cushioning effect, reducing noise and improving the underfoot feel. More importantly, the built-in vapor barrier offers essential protection against moisture seeping up from the subfloor, a common issue that can lead to warping or damage over time. Selecting a quality laminate pad with a built-in vapor barrier is a wise investment, offering both comfort and critical protection for your laminate flooring.
