What to consider before buying

When choosing laminate flooring, consider the AC rating (higher is better for traffic), core thickness (≥8 mm for stability), and moisture-resistance features if installing in kitchens or basements. Click-lock systems simplify DIY installs, but verify underlayment compatibility. Balance aesthetics with durability and budget to find the best fit for your space.
