English translation:full plank width
Explanation:
I am only guessing, but I have a hunch this means that the width of each piece of laminate equates to the width of one plank for these type of flooring (normally, when depicting beech or oak, for example, you get three narrow flooring strips per width of laminate section). Am I making myself clear? ... I'm not sure!
