2. At the moment there are six classes of laminate: 21, 22, 23 and 31, 32, 33. Than it is higher, that resistance to mechanical influences is more. For example, to the hall or 23 classes as in these rooms floor constantly is exposed to abrasion and influence of moisture are the one kitchen best to stack laminate. For the living room and the children's room it is possible to use laminate 22 classes. In these rooms of the requirement to loadings below.
