What Do the Symbols on Product Packaging Tell Us?

05 August 2025

Before choosing any product, learn what each symbol means.

When selecting ceramic tiles, laminate, parquet, vinyl flooring, or bathroom accessories, we often focus
only on appearance. But the truth is on the packaging — small symbols reveal how durable the product is,
what protections it offers, and whether it's certified.

Understanding these symbols helps you choose better products and avoid the risks of poor quality.
