Frequently Asked Questions

What does AC5 mean?

AC (Abrasion Class) ratings measure how resistant a laminate floor is to wear and scratching. AC5 is the highest commercial grade rating — it's suitable for heavy residential use and light-to-moderate commercial environments like offices and retail spaces. Most big-box store laminate is AC3.

Can I install this over radiant heated floors?

Yes. Kronotex Authentic Chalet is compatible with both electric and hydronic (hot water) underfloor heating systems. Keep floor surface temperature below 27°C (80°F).

Is this floor suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?

This floor is moisture-resistant for everyday splashes and spills but is not fully waterproof. It is suitable for kitchens. For bathrooms or laundry rooms with high moisture exposure, we recommend a waterproof vinyl plank alternative.

Do I need underlayment?

Yes — underlayment is not pre-attached on this product. A quality 2–3mm foam or cork underlayment is recommended for sound absorption, comfort, and moisture protection over concrete subfloors.

Does this ship across Canada?

Yes. We ship laminate flooring across Canada, including Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, and surrounding areas. Local pickup is also available in Toronto.
