The most durable flooring on the market

Vinyl and laminate flooring – the most important parameters

In order to find the most durable flooring on the market, it is worth knowing which parameters to pay attention to. This will allow you to choose the flooring material that will serve you reliably for a long time and will not lose its attractive appearance. What criteria are worth checking before purchasing the flooring in order to make a right decision?

Water resistance

First of all, make sure to choose water-resistant flooring. This is particularly important if you are renovating a kitchen, bathroom or hallway, where the flooring is constantly exposed to moisture and standing water. Bathing, leaving wet shoes or unexpected equipment failures make the flooring in these rooms exposed to swelling or detachment from the floor. However, if it is water-resistant, you can avoid this problem and the floor will last longer. This type of protection is also worth using in other home interiors or in public buildings.

Abrasion class

The abrasion class is a parameter which indicates the resistance of the flooring to damage due to abrasion. It is determined based on the test involving the use of abrasive material. The test allows to find out the number of revolutions after which the planks surface will be damaged. This perfectly imitates the conditions in which the flooring will be used on a daily basis. After the test, they are assigned to classes AC1 to AC5, sometimes even AC6. The higher the class, the more resistant the planks are and the better they will perform in heavily used rooms in home and public buildings.

Usage class

In the case of laminate flooring, usage class is also an important determinant. It proves the material’s resistance to abrasion, impact, staining, furniture movement or increase in thickness after contact with water. Once the durability of the flooring has been tested, it is assigned to a specific usage class. If you want a really durable flooring, reach for class 32 or 33.

Installation system

Proper installation also has an impact on whether the flooring will be durable. If you want to lay the floor yourself and avoid mistakes that reduce the durability of the floor, reach for easy, glueless installation systems. One of these is the MegaLoc system, which allows for a quick installation of flooring, creating a stable floor. Installation systems such as MegaLoc Aqua Protect also provide an additional protection against the damaging effects of water on the flooring by tightly protecting the edges of the individual planks.

Additional protections

When reviewing the technical parameters of the individual flooring, it is also worth paying attention to additional protection against damage. In most cases, V–groove is used, which provides an attractive visual effect and protects the edges of the flooring. Some models are resistant to sunlight and are covered with special coatings. They make the matte or glossy effect stay on the planks longer, and the floor is scratch-resistant.

Ceramin – the most durable flooring on the market

If you are looking for reliable flooring, reach for planks with Ceramin core board. Ceramin SPC vinyl flooring is the most durable option of this type on the market. What makes it so special?

Abrasion class AC6

The most important feature of the flooring with Ceramin core board is its high abrasion class – AC6. The majority of the most durable laminate and vinyl flooring models are characterised by AC5 rating at the most. Such a high technical parameter as AC6 will therefore ensure the planks’ above-average resistance to abrasion and too rapid deterioration.

Waterproofness

Planks with the Ceramin board are also waterproof. This means that moisture does not get into the plank and standing water does not penetrate into the floor even after 24 hours. As a result, the floor does not swell or detach from the substrate. Waterproofness also makes the cleaning much easier – after spilling a liquid, it is enough to wipe it off, moreover, there is no need to worry about using a too wet mop when cleaning the floors.

Eco–friendly material

Free from PVC and other harmful components, the eco-friendly flooring is 100% recyclable. This, combined with its exceptional durability, means that it does not contribute to excessive waste production. Thanks to a careful workmanship using safe materials, this flooring makes it possible to create a healthy atmosphere in the interiors. This is confirmed by the Blue Angel certificate.

UV radiation resistance

UV-resistant flooring is the most durable floor material, suitable for well-sunlit rooms. In a home or public building with large windows, some sections of the floor begin to fade over time and lose their attractive appearance. With Ceramin UV-resistant flooring, you don’t have to worry about this problem.

Additional advantages

When it comes to the advantages of Ceramin flooring, it is also worth mentioning the ease of maintenance, ability to reduce noise, easy installation systems and warmth. All these aspects significantly increase the comfort of using the flooring.

Why is it worth choosing the durable, waterproof flooring?

Choosing the durable, waterproof flooring will ensure that the floor looks good for a long time, not only in domestic, but also in public spaces. This will save you the cost, stress and work when having to change the floor again or repair it after a short period of time.

The flooring with low, poorly adapted technical parameters can swell when it comes into contact with water. What’s more, moisture can penetrate into the floor through poorly protected edges and damage the core board. This significantly reduces the lifespan of the flooring and contributes to the deterioration of its appearance and functionality. In turn, a low abrasion class may result in rapid occurrence of scratches on the floor surface. In order to avoid these and many other problems, take your decisions carefully and choose only renowned, durable flooring, equipped with all the most important protections. In this way, you will gain a guarantee of waterproofness, resistance to damage and too fast wear as a result of normal use.
