Laminate classes

Laminate classes

The operating class indicates the duration of the time during which the laminated floor will have its original appearance at all kinds of loads. The existing European norm EN 13329 consists of eighteen tests. After their behavior, a laminate is assigned any of the classes. In this norm, two large groups are distinguished: laminates that serve for home use and for commercial. Laminates for commercial operation have a service life from three to six years. And if such a floor is used at home - the duration of its service increases several times. Most of the guarantees for more than ten years say that such a floor can last a long time at home, but not in commercial. The operation of the laminated floor in commercial premises where a weak load is carried out on it is 31 class. The duration of the service of such a laminate is several years. Now many began to take an installment time, because it is much more profitable for both sides.  At home, he will be able to lie about ten years. The operating class of laminate No. 32 allows you to lay it in commercial premises where the average load will be provided on it. Operation class No. 33 is used in commercial premises with strong load. Grade 34 allows you to operate the floor with a very high load. It can be an airport, station, car dealership, etc.p. With home use, such a laminate can lie down for about thirty years. Laminates 21, 22 and 23 of grade are used for home use. To date, these classes have been discontinued.
