Pergo 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 decades. The latest Pergo flooring reproduces the graining, knotting, texture, and color of genuine hardwood. Visitors will have a hard time recognizing the floor as anything but hardwood.
In addition to its great looking and lasting appeal, laminate flooring is also very easy to install. With its interlocking tiles, Pergo flooring is simple enough to install without any professional assistance. 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, the installation should be very little trouble. 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.Â
Home installation is easy enough for almost anyone to do, and can save thousands of dollars in professional installation fees. Pergo flooring is safer and healthier without the adhesives seen in many other types of flooring. Once a Pergo floor is installed, it typically lasts for many years. Worn out and damaged tiles can be easily replaced. Laminate flooring is very resistant to water damage and abrasion. A hardwood will bow and bend over time when exposed to water. 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 superior to carpet as well, offering both comfort and reliability that the former cannot. Carpet can soak up water and 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 great condition for many years. Carpet, by contrast, will gradually become torn and dingy. The only means of repairing a carpet that has become frayed or worn is to eventually replace it, costing potentially hundreds of dollars for the consumer.
