Scratch Resistance Test

[Music] we have our platform we have our cheap and our expensive laminar flooring we're going to be running against five different tests scratch resistance water resistance impact resistance stain resistance and cleaning first up scratch resistance let's scratch this thing up has this ever happened to you laminate flooring has four different layers the top being the protective layer and it has the AC rating AC stands for abrasion class one through five one being the lowest scratch resistance five being the highest level of scratch resistance they create now that's the classic you can worry about if you have pets in the house I don't have any pets but I have the next best thing I have a bear clock cheap ones hold it up pretty well let's try the expensive stuff okay pass the claw test let's scratch it up something else kids football cleats [Music] let's see what else we got classic computer chair [Music] this is exhausting [Music] something else Classic Furniture drag I don't have any bumpers on this though which is good [Music] oh no I dropped all these nails oh oh goodness right now I'm kind of impressed by both of them this one more than that but still being cheap not bad now what if one of my kids found one of these nails now the traffic Master the cheapest stuff the box says it's scratch resistant but it doesn't say what AC rating it is I see a ton of scratches here partly probably because it's a darker material but still I would say it's probably nothing more than a level two clasp the perga defense plus that's a different story this is right around the box for AC level five the highest commercial grade and I mean even if you look at the glare from the light apart from a very hazy one right there maybe a small one there I don't see anything and I bet you all the other stuff will get hidden if we put some kind of polisher on it or something like that overall really impressive next up is the impact test
