  • Moisture resistance. To determine it, a small sample of the laminate is placed in a container of water. If after 8 hours of being in water, the material is swollen by no more than 18%, then this is a quality product of a European brand.
  • The color of the back side of the laminate board.In European manufacturers, it is beige, at a fake, most often - dark brown.
