Flooring
Utility classes (in
accordance with Euro-Norm 685) |
|
For a better appreciation of
the quality and usage possibilities of laminated floors, the member companies of
the EPLF (Association of European Producers of Laminated Flooring) have
introduced pictograms (= picture symbols) for recommended utility classes (in
accordance with Euro-Norm 685).
These pictograms enable salesmen and consumers to make a simple classification
of the individual products. They provide a much higher purchase security and
spare the confusion which can result from many technical terms and certificates.
