Laminate gives a wood look at a lower cost than solid wood and installs as a floating click floor, often over existing tiles. In Lahore it is popular in bedrooms, lounges and offices. Its weak point is water: laminate is meant for dry areas.

Source: Material Depot AC rating guide. The AC rating is an abrasion classification from the European standard EN 13329; the North American standard NALFA-LF-01 does not use AC classes, though AC ratings are widely used in marketing (ANSI).
Other things to compare on the datasheet:
| Specification | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Total thickness | Thicker boards feel more solid underfoot |
| Core | Usually HDF; ask about moisture resistance |
| Plank size | Wider and longer planks change the look and cutting waste |
| Surface | Smooth, embossed or textured |
| Edge | Square or bevelled edges |
| Underlay | Separate or pre-attached |
What each is used for
- Bedrooms: AC3 or AC4.
- Lounges and corridors: AC4.
- Offices and shops: AC4 or AC5.
- Avoid: bathrooms, wet kitchens, and ground floors with damp.
Quality checks on delivery
- Check product code, AC rating and thickness on boxes against the invoice.
- Check batch numbers for colour consistency.
- Open sample boxes: look for damaged click edges, chipped corners and swelling.
- Click two planks together to check fit and that the surface is level across the joint.
- Check accessories: underlay, skirting, transition profiles, stair nosings.
- Reject wet or swollen boxes.
How much you need
Measure each room's length × width in feet. Add wastage for cuts and pattern; ask your installer for the allowance for your rooms. Divide by box coverage and round up. Measure skirting in running feet and count doorways for profiles.
Bulk-buying tips
- Moisture check first: laminate on a damp floor swells. Older ground floors need checking.
- Expansion gap: floating floors need a gap at walls covered by skirting; make sure your installer leaves it.
- Acclimatisation: follow the manufacturer's advice on leaving boxes in the room before installing.
- Invoice: product code, AC rating, thickness, quantity, supplier NTN.
- Payment staging: balance after inspection if supply-and-fit.
- Storage: flat, dry, away from site water.

FAQs
Which AC rating is best for a house? AC4 is commonly recommended for whole-home use. AC3 suits bedrooms and low-traffic rooms.
Can laminate be used in kitchens? It is risky. Spills and mopping water can swell joints. Tiles, porcelain or SPC are safer choices.
Can laminate be laid over tiles? Usually, if the tiles are flat and firmly bonded, with the correct underlay.
Laminate or SPC: which is better? SPC handles water better; laminate is often chosen for its wood look and feel in dry rooms.
Why is my laminate lifting at the edges? Common causes are moisture or no expansion gap at the walls.
