The first laminate floor was developed in Sweden, arriving on the market in 1980. This new kind of flooring quickly spread to other countries in Europe. The laminate back then was not of the high quality that it is today – but thanks to on-going developments, by the end of the 1980’s visible advances had been achieved.
Consumers understandably focus on choosing an appealing design and suitable AC Durability Class when shopping for laminate flooring. However, the quality of flooring underlay used is also crucial.
The underlay plays a vital role in overall quality of the installed floor; in particular, a quality underlay should significantly reduce both Impact Sound and Walking Sound.
Laminate flooring durability is rated according to a special classification, from the AC1 up to AC5 which is the highest rating.
