Laminate flooring is an excellent choice for swift, inexpensive floor cover solutions. However, its durability depends on the area&#8217;s traffic level. Hundreds of customers or guests can pass through a space in just one day, so you have to be sure they won&#8217;t wear through the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laminate has come a long way since it started gaining popularity in the early 2000s. Even modern linoleum has a far better visual quality than it used to. Modern laminate imitates all materials well (depending on your budget!). A lot of the time, they&#8217;re indistinguishable from actual tiling until you step on them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, I&#8217;ll take you through a few critical points <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.laminate-flooring.com.sg\/news\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-mold-under-laminate-flooring.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">about laminate floors<\/a> so you can choose what&#8217;s best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we get started, ask yourself a few questions about your needs. Such as: How high traffic is the area compared to a domestic setting? For example, a quiet clothing boutique will see less footfall than a buzzing cafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Will heavy equipment, machinery, or stock deliveries be moved across this floor?<\/li><li>What type of people will be visiting your space? For example, laminate is an excellent choice for wheelchair-accessible places.<\/li><li>Will this floor ever be open to the elements? Water can cause problems with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sgwoodflooring.com\/articles\/what-type-of-laminate-flooring-is-best.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">types of laminate<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6ae2edb173b82\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6ae2edb173b82\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.laminate-flooring.com.sg\/news\/is-laminate-flooring-good-for-high-traffic-area.html\/#About_Laminate_Flooring_Durability\" >About Laminate Flooring Durability<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-5' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-5'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.laminate-flooring.com.sg\/news\/is-laminate-flooring-good-for-high-traffic-area.html\/#Whats_The_Highest_AC_Rating_Laminate_You_Can_Get\" >What&#8217;s The Highest AC Rating Laminate You Can Get?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.laminate-flooring.com.sg\/news\/is-laminate-flooring-good-for-high-traffic-area.html\/#How_Do_I_Know_What_Laminate_Style_Or_AC_Rating_Is_Right_For_My_Space\" >How Do I Know What Laminate Style Or AC Rating Is Right For My Space?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-5' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-5'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.laminate-flooring.com.sg\/news\/is-laminate-flooring-good-for-high-traffic-area.html\/#Here_are_a_few_examples_of_areas_that_would_need_a_higher_AC_rating_floor\" >Here are a few examples of areas that would need a higher AC rating floor:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-5'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.laminate-flooring.com.sg\/news\/is-laminate-flooring-good-for-high-traffic-area.html\/#Spaces_that_dont_take_much_wear_could_use_lower_AC-grade_floors_for_example\" >Spaces that don&#8217;t take much wear could use lower AC-grade floors, for example:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.laminate-flooring.com.sg\/news\/is-laminate-flooring-good-for-high-traffic-area.html\/#When_Is_Laminate_Not_Tough_Enough\" >When Is Laminate Not Tough Enough?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.laminate-flooring.com.sg\/news\/is-laminate-flooring-good-for-high-traffic-area.html\/#Other_Tips_And_Important_Things_To_Keep_In_Mind\" >Other Tips And Important Things To Keep In Mind<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.laminate-flooring.com.sg\/news\/is-laminate-flooring-good-for-high-traffic-area.html\/#Is_Laminate_Flooring_Good_For_High_Traffic_Areas_%E2%80%93_Conclusion\" >Is Laminate Flooring Good For High Traffic Areas?
