Hello,

we just received a quote for laminate flooring. The laminate is rated with the following wear classes:

Wear class 23 / wear class 32 – for residential areas with heavy use / for commercial areas with moderate use.

So, is this suitable for residential spaces? And can these wear classes be relied on?

Thank you very much

It depends on how you coordinate it.
For us, any variation up to 10/11 mm (about 0.4 inches) is acceptable because we have tiles, and otherwise the screed would need to be adjusted accordingly.

We agreed with the site manager that we will complete the non-contracted flooring before fitting the frames and doors. That way, there should be no issues at all.

Or something like that. Thanks for the tip.
