We would like to introduce you to the term extreme scratch resistance.

What do you think of when you hear the term: Extreme scratch resistance? We hope the term scratch proof does not enter your mind, because there is no flooring out there that is Scratch PROOF! It does mean that it can withstand commercial grade foot traffic and should be durable enough for anything your pets can dish out.
Extreme Scratch resistance is a term from our line of scratch shield flooring that is new to our showrooms. It has a very thick wear layer and has an AC rating of 5.
The AC rating scale:  
AC1:
An AC rating of 1 is good for light residential, or rental places where you will replace every time there is a changeover of occupants
AC2:
An AC2 rating covers everyday homes and general usage
AC3:
An AC3 is Heavy residential or all light commercial foot traffic
AC4:
AC4 is general commercial flooring and residential with pets
AC5:
AC5 is Heavy commercial foot traffic. IT will withstand roll around desk chairs, or chairs at tables.
The newest stuff coming out is all AC5 and will work with the pets in your homes.

To be clear, all Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring (LVP’s) will have some inherent scratch resistance. This Dynasty flooring is different in the fact that they are guaranteeing pet wear on the floors for 10 years. You want to be sure what you put in your home is going to stand up to the creatures that use the floors! We do not recommend you run around with a forklift on this flooring, but cat and dog nails should be no problem.
