AC ratings are abrasion-class. AC3 is residential moderate. AC4 is heavy residential and light commercial — fine for kitchens, hallways, and most living areas. AC5 is heavy commercial — for retail, restaurants, or homes with very high traffic. We default to AC4 for residential. We do not install AC3 because it does not last in a real home.
