Laminate Flooring Installation in Greenfield — FAQ

How does laminate compare to LVP?+

Water-resistant laminate (with wax-sealed edges) works in kitchens with normal use. However, standing water from leaks or spills must be wiped up promptly to prevent swelling.

AC (Abrasion Class) rates laminate durability. AC3 is suitable for residential use, AC4 for high-traffic residential or light commercial, and AC5 for heavy commercial.
