Design for all aspirations
The specialists in our own Design Center
developed the design for all the requirements
of a premium laminate. With SENSA they
created extraordinary decors, fascinating
textures and unique surface experiences.
For the uniqueness of our customers, for all
lifestyles, for all skylines, for all moods, for all
places. Laminate NXT – authentic design for
the world you live in.
Technology for all needs
Since our founding in 1949 we have
continued to develop new technologies.
These today make our family-run company
the innovation leader in our industry and
holder of numerous patents. With SENSA you
get the best result of our years of experience
and research. Laminate NXT – user-friendly,
easy to install, resistant and robust in all
situations, in all areas – made in Germany.
Sustainability for all living things
We have rethought our production of
premium laminate flooring to make the
manufacturing process and products even
more sustainably. The result: With SENSA
we are introducing our new LEAN CORE
technology. This means reducing material,
respecting nature and guaranteeing highest
quality. Laminate NXT – because less is more
for all of us.
Our team for all
Almost 2,000 people make up the CLASSEN
team that produces around 100 million square
meters of floor and wall coverings per year,
delighting people all over the world. In the
development of SENSA we had one common
goal: being the best in what we do, for now and
for the future of our children and later
generations. Laminate NXT by CLASSEN.

„Sometimes I imagine how a design we have
created might look in the clients‘ rooms. What
furniture they find suitable, what personality
they might have, what they associate with a
colour or a wood finish. There‘s nothing better
than being able to make people‘s lives more
beautiful that way.“
– Nicole Knospe, Teamleader Designcenter
„We know that our customers have valued
CLASSEN designs as one of our trademarks for
decades. So SENSA was naturally a challenge
for us to create special experiences for all the
senses and to inspire people anew.“

Personal living
A floor is an item of furniture. It has to fit you
and your life. It must be as authentic and
personal as you are. A premium laminate like
SENSA quickly becomes a part of you. We at
CLASSEN know this from our own experience.
That‘s why our decors are a matter of the heart
for us. Every day, our artists in the CLASSEN
Design Center work on new feel-good designs.
SENSA not only consists of fascinating surfaces
that you can see. But also haptic experiences
for feet, hands and eyes. The SENSA decors
awaken memories, bring back laughter, make
you dream. Which design suits your life?

Easy living
With SENSA we make life easier for all.
The boards contain the new CLASSEN water
resistant fold-down installation system for
laminate floors: megaloc aqua protect. So
SENSA is easy to install and gives you high-
tech-protection for all days in life: 24-hour
protection in the event of spilled drinks on
sunny days, 24-hour-protection from
moisture on rainy days. This unique system
provides reliable water resistance by
preventing water from entering the joints.
In living rooms, bars, offices or restaurants.

Made wet
The NALFA test is a standardised test
procedure of the North American Laminate
Flooring Association (NALFA). The test
measures how laminate flooring behaves
when installed with the surface exposed to
standing water for 24 hours. The results are
exellent: The megaloc aqua protect system
from CLASSEN enables protection against
edge swelling and ensures a durable floor to
enjoy. Daily use, cleaning and splash situations
can consequently no longer damage the floor.
„Our team, consisting of the technology and
production department at CLASSEN, had
worked hard over the last few years, developing
ideas, optimising over and over again – and
megaloc aqua protect is the excellent result.
We at CLASSEN developed the world‘s first
water resistant laminate flooring with a quick
installation system.“
– Eberhard Herrmann, Head of Technology and
Testing Centre at CLASSEN in Baruth / Mark

Daily living
„I‘m impressed to see how man and machine
are constantly evolving, how we manage to
always stay on top of the latest technical and
technological developments and to keep the
plant evolving to stay one step ahead if
possible.“
– André Trebuth, Technical Manager at
Fiberboard (CLASSEN Group) in Baruth
The „LLT process“ (LLT = Liquid Laminate
Technology), invented by CLASSEN, gives
Laminate NXT the best properties. This
production process combines two previously
completely separate steps to one. The result:
SENSA has a very high Micro-scratch resistance
and a very low rate of gloss change. SENSA
therefore is ideally suited for flats with big
families or highly frequented rooms such as
offices or doctors‘ surgeries.
Results of LLT in numbers
Micro-scratch resistance is evaluated in two
different procedures according to norm EN
16094:2012. In procedure A, the gloss change
is evaluated and in procedure B, the scratch
pattern is classified. The rating scale ranges
from 1 (gloss change <10% or no scratches)
to 5 (gloss change >70% or many scratches,
dull abrasion). The LLT process achieves
the rating A1 (gloss changes <10%) and B1
(no scratches).
Healthy living
With SENSA we make healthy living possible
for all. Floors in particular come into contact
with many bacteria and can thus be the source
of serious illnesses in the home and in public
spaces. But the surface of our SENSA laminate
boards has a strong antibacterial effect. Our
development team at CLASSEN commissioned
the independent testing institute of
Hohenstein Laboratories to check this special
feature. As a result, SENSA laminate received
the official „Antibacterial“ certificate according
to ISO 22196 (measurement of antibacterial
activity on plastic surfaces).
Laboratory tested
For the test, bacteria were placed on the
surface of the laminate floorboards and the
germ growth was measured over 24 hours.
The two frequently occurring bacterial species
Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli
(coliform bacteria) were used. According to the
ISO 20743 evaluation scheme, the antibacterial
effect value must be greater than 2 for a surface
to be classified as antibacterial.
CLASSEN laminate flooring achieves a value
of > 2.8 for Staphylococcus aureus and > 5.9 for
Escherichia coli.
„The values determined show that the
antibacterial effect of our laminate flooring is
significantly better than that of many
competitor products. We achieve these values
without the addition of additives.
This clearly proves that we can describe our
laminate products as absolutely healthy for
the home, not only in terms of pollutant
emissions, but also with regard to bacterially
transmissible diseases.“
– Yvonne Schumann, Head of the Product
Certification Department at CLASSEN in
Baruth / Mark
