Pergo Laminate Flooring
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 takes very little upkeep, and will stay looking great for many years. The latest Pergo flooring reproduces the graining, knotting, texture, and color of genuine hardwood. Visitors will be hard pressed to know the difference between Pergo flooring and real hardwood or tile.
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, 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 a great deal of money in professional work 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 individually removed and 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 prolonged moisture exposure. This moisture can come both from spills and from water that wicks up from the subfloor, making prevention difficult.
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 tough to maintain. Over time, carpet can also take on unpleasant odors that are hard to eliminate. Laminate flooring keeps out these kinds of smells, remaining in great condition for many years. Carpet, by contrast, will gradually wear down and become frayed and torn. 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.
