What does AC4 vs AC5 mean?
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. The matched pro defaults to AC4 for residential. The matched pro does not install AC3 because it does not last in a real home.
