When you choose a commercial laminate floor you need to be aware of the different grades and construction methods available. Laminate is graded from AC1 - AC6 with the latter being ideal for use in very heavy commercial installations. As for the construction then laminate is produced either by Direct Pressure Laminate or High Pressure Laminate.

One of the biggest advantages about laminate flooring is that it is very durable, easy in installation and cheaper in price in comparison with hardwood. The other advantage is that laminate flooring is not stuck to the floor beneath. Only panels are stuck together. Thus, it facilitates installation in an easy manner. The tongue and grooves of the planks are placed together and clicked to adhere. The connection is thus tight.

There are various different finishes available in laminate flooring. There are two kinds of construction in such flooring namely the DPL or direct pressure laminate and the HPL or high-pressure laminate. The DPL comprises 4 layers while the HPL has 7 layers in its construction. Thus, due to more layers HPL represents a better choice. It is tougher, provides more stability and is resistant to scratches or dents.
