Plank Color (Group)

Plank Color (Group): This refers to the general color classification of the flooring planks. This grouping is not defined by the manufacturer but is a logical categorization to help customers filter and compare products with similar color tones more easily.

Underpad Thickness

Underpad Thickness: This specifies the thickness of the attached underpad, if applicable. The thickness of the underpad can affect both comfort and insulation properties. A thicker underpad generally offers better sound dampening and a softer feel when walking on the flooring.

Dimensional Stability - X Direction (ISO 23999-2008)

Dimensional Stability - X Direction (ISO 23999-2008): This is a technical specification that measures how much the flooring material will expand, contract, or deform along its length when exposed to changes in temperature and humidity. It adheres to ISO 23999-2008 standards, ensuring that the flooring meets certain quality benchmarks for dimensional stability.

Dimensional Stability - Y Direction (ISO 23999:2008)

Dimensional Stability - Y Direction (ISO 23999:2008): This measures the flooring material's ability to maintain its original dimensions along its width when exposed to varying conditions such as temperature and humidity. It is a quality assurance measure that adheres to the ISO 23999:2008 standard, providing a benchmark for the flooring's stability in the Y-direction.

Stain Resistance (ISO 26987:2008)

Stain Resistance (ISO 26987:2008): This refers to the flooring material's ability to resist stains, measured according to the ISO 26987:2008 standard. It provides a benchmark for how well the flooring can withstand common household stains, indicating the quality and ease of maintenance you can expect.

Slip Resistance (DIN 51130)

Slip Resistance (DIN 51130): This indicates the slip resistance of the flooring according to the DIN 51130 standard. This metric is crucial for safety, especially in areas that may be prone to wet or slippery conditions. A higher slip resistance rating means the flooring provides better grip, reducing the risk of slips and falls.

Residual Indentation (ISO 24343-1:2007)

Residual Indentation (ISO 24343-1:2007): This specification measures how well the flooring recovers its original shape after being subjected to a load or pressure. The test is conducted in accordance with the ISO 24343-1:2007 standard. A lower residual indentation value indicates that the flooring has better resilience and ability to regain its original form after pressure is removed. This is an important consideration for areas with heavy foot traffic or where furniture may be placed.

Curling After Exposure to Heat (ISO 23999:2008)

Curling After Exposure to Heat (ISO 23999:2008): This metric evaluates how much the flooring material curls or warps when subjected to elevated temperatures, in accordance with the ISO 23999:2008 standard. It is an important measure of the product's thermal stability and indicates how well the flooring will maintain its shape in conditions of varying heat, such as direct sunlight or underfloor heating. Lower curling values suggest better heat resistance and dimensional stability of the flooring material.

SQFT Per Box

This refers to the total square footage that the planks or tiles in a single box will cover when installed. Knowing this information is essential for calculating the quantity of boxes you'll need for your flooring project. It helps to ensure that you purchase enough material, taking into account both the size of the area to be floored and any additional percentage for waste or mistakes.

Planks Per Box

"Planks Per Box": This specifies the exact number of planks that are contained in each box. It's an important detail for accurately calculating how many boxes you'll need to complete your flooring project. The number can vary from one product to another, so always check this information before making a purchase.

Boxes Per Pallet

"Boxes Per Pallet": This feature indicates the number of boxes that come on a single pallet. Knowing this can help you plan for bulk orders or large-scale projects, as it can be more cost-effective and efficient to order by the pallet rather than individual boxes. This information is particularly useful for contractors or anyone planning a sizable flooring installation.
