Flooring
MDF-Flooring is your speciality fibreboard for flooring substrate. It has been designed to comply with European flooring standards. The special density profile provides an extremely durable surface while retaining very high core strength, ideal for tongue-and-groove machining. Flooring consists of different layers, each and every one of them designed for a special purpose to keep the floor looking and feeling beautiful year after year. The multi-layer structure ensures maximum durability.
The Members of the Association assure that the wood chips are sources from sustainably managed forests. We also have several options to provide you with low formaldehyde emission products.
ITS USAGE
Laminate flooring is an extremely versatile flooring product. Any room of your home, above or belo, over wood or concrete. Keep in mind there are several locations that are not recommended, because laminate flooring is a wood flooring product. It is not recommended that laminates be installed in wet locations such as bathrooms, washrooms, saunas, enclosed porches or verandas etc. Extended exposure to moisture of this type may cause the core of your laminate flooring to warp or swell. Other than that, laminate is very versatile: install it in living and dining rooms, kitchens, hallways, foyers, bedrooms, basements, stairs, offices, retail spaces and many other locations.
Flooring AC rating
AC hardness ratings are a standardized measure adopted by The Association of European Producers of Laminate Flooring (ELPF). The AC measure rates abrasion resistance, impact resistance, resistance to staining and cigarette burns, and thickness swelling along edges. If a laminate floor cannot meet the requirements for each of these ratings, approval for a given AC rating will be denied.AC Class is used to define strength of Aluminium Oxide layer on laminated flooring, which shows after how many rotation design paper will get damage.
- AC1 (Moderate Resistance) is suitable for lighter, more infrequent traffic, e.g. a bedroom.
- AC2 (General Resistance) is suitable for general residential use in living rooms and dining rooms.
- AC3 (Heavy Residential / Moderate Commercial) applied to more varied locations, such as high traffic rooms, small offices and other light commercial locations.
- AC4 (General Commercial) can be installed in higher traffic commercial areas such as boutiques, busier offices, and restaurants.
- AC5( Heavy Commercial) is more durable still and can withstand the traffic of heavier commercial areas such as department stores and public buildings.
