What does the usage class tell you about your floor?
The design has the largest influence on the furnishing and style of your living space. Appearance is usually the most important aspect in choosing a floor. Beautiful looks should be lasting. This is where the usage class comes into play. It specifies the durability and quality of your floor.
A floor is subjected to different levels of stress in different places. The differences can vary considerably. In commercial premises such as a jeans shop or an open-plan office, the floor will experience a heavier footfall than in your home. This also happens in your own home. Your hallways has to withstand more than your bedroom floor.

What is the abrasion class?
In contrast to the usage class, which describes the whole product from the surface and baseboard to the stabilising layer, the abrasion class indicates the load-bearing capacity of the wear layer. It therefore describes the surface's resistance to scratches and abrasion.
