Pergo flooring provides a broad selection of laminate flooring,
with an emphasis on reproducing the genuine feel of hardwood and tile. With Pergo flooring, homeowners can rest assured with a floor that will both look great and last years. Laminate flooring requires next to no maintenance, and will stay looking great for many years. The latest Pergo flooring replicates all the familiar quirks of a hardwood floor. Visitors will be hard pressed to know the difference between Pergo flooring and real hardwood or tile.
In addition to its wonderful appeal and enduring aesthetics, laminate flooring is also very easy to install. With its interlocking tiles, Pergo flooring can be installed without professional help. The tiles are manufactured with a groove that allows the tiles to interlock without any adhesives. Provided a home installer has a tile cutting tool, installation should take very little effort. Interlocking Pergo flooring is also easier on the environment, 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 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 should last for several years. Worn out and damaged tiles can be easily replaced. Laminate flooring will not suffer in the same way from water damage and abrasion as hardwood. A hardwood will bow and bend over time when exposed to water. Cupping and crowning results from extended 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 durability and warmth 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.
