Pergo Flooring: the Best of the Best

Posted on 30. Mar, 2009 by Mark Coleman in Flooring

Pergo flooring provides a broad selection of laminate flooring, with a focus on providing the warm feel of hardwood. With Pergo flooring, homeowners can have a great looking floor that won’t suffer from water damage or abrasions. Laminate flooring takes very little upkeep, and will stay looking great for many years. The latest Pergo flooring replicates all the familiar quirks of a hardwood floor. Visitors will have a hard time recognizing the floor as anything but hardwood.

In addition to its wonderful appeal and enduring aesthetics, laminate flooring is incredibly simple to lay down. With its interlocking tiles, Pergo flooring can be installed without professional help. The tiles are manufactured with a tongue and groove system that allows the tiles to interlock without glue or other industrial adhesives. Provided a home installer has a tile cutting tool, installation should take very little effort. Interlocking Pergo flooring is also friendlier to the environment, as it requires no toxic adhesives, without any of the harmful chemical adhesives that other floors possess.

Home installation is simple enough for anyone at least a little handy to accomplish, and can save a great deal of money in professional work fees. Pergo flooring is safer and healthier without any of the chemicals seen in other flooring. Once a Pergo floor is installed, it should last for several years. Worn out and damaged tiles can be easily replaced. Laminate flooring is very resistant to water damage and abrasion. A hardwood will crack and buckle when exposed to moisture over time. Cupping and crowning results from prolonged moisture exposure. This moisture can come potentially from spills and from water wicking up from the subfloor.

Pergo flooring is a better choice than carpet as well, offering both comfort and reliability that the former cannot. Carpet can end up absorbing water and food stains, making it difficult to keep clean. Over time, carpet can also take on unpleasant odors that are hard to eliminate. Laminate flooring will not absorb any of these same smells, remaining in perfect condition for years. Carpet, by contrast, will gradually wear down and become frayed and torn. A torn or frayed carpet must inevitably be replaced entirely, whereas laminate tiles can be individually fixed.
