Impact Resistance Test

impact test has this ever happened to you [Music] the thickest part of laminate flooring is a substrate layer it's made together by composite material head together with the resin this is the section that gives you the durability of your laminate flooring and the only way to test durability is just drop something heavy on it the classic scenario home of dropping stuff maybe in the kitchen is maybe dropping your pots and pans but I'm afraid my wife will kill me if I drop her Caraway pan now the perfect alternative to that is this 2.5 pound little weight that's roughly about the same amount so let's do some damage [Music] all right let's see what the nice stuff does if I drop it on the edge it has a higher tendency of cutting into it but not as much as that one that's a little well that's just a marker thank you but then what happens when you have something heavier like a 35 pound kettlebell that one just split it wide open [Music] so let's do a recap the cheaper stuff would definitely split open so much more I mean almost all of these are punctures then the nice expensive stuff for the most part nothing will really split wide open and just bent it a little bit that's a little bit and not as much as I thought and you know what the 35 pound kettlebell actually did even less damage it looks like it didn't puncture through as much as it did maybe over there here I mean here's a comparison this one almost looks like a footprint if you look at this one it looks like more of like a deeper narrower footprint and this is more of a wider it doesn't go deep as much you disperse the energy a little bit more I think that might be the worst one to hit the edge of the Kettlebell next up the water resistance
