Usage Symbols

For a better appreciation of the quality and usage of laminated floors, the member companies of the EPLF (Association of European Producers of Laminated Flooring) have introduced 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 inspire confidence when making a purchase and minimise confusion which can result from the use of technical terms and certificates.
