What happens when you apply the best technology and support it with a high level of aesthetics to create a flooring system? You get a great innovation that combines functionality and attractiveness.
This is what happened to the flooring industry when the Pergo flooring system was introduced some thirty years ago in Sweden. Since then, Pergo has remained a leader in the laminate flooring industry.
The unique characteristics of Pergo floors
1. Pergo is a type of reinforced laminate flooring system that is made from a unique composite of layers of fiberboard and other materials, compressed under heat to form an extremely durable flooring material.
2. The core of the material is constructed of thick waterproof material.
3. At the bottom, there is a polymer layer that provides stability to the material and helps the soil to adapt to climatic changes.
4. The top layer is for displaying the computer generated photographed ‘image’ which is made of decorative materials. These are the types of laminations that are popularly used for bathroom and kitchen countertops. These images reproduce the look of your favorite wood flooring types, such as beech or cherry.
5. Pergo floors use a particular type of hardener that makes it 25% harder than laminates used for countertops.
Why You Would Love Your Pergo Floor
1. The main advantage of Pergo floors is: with a Pergo, you get the great look and feel of natural wood floors, without the prohibitive price. With Pergo floors, you get any type of wood look and finish to match your unique home décor.
2. Another important advantage is related to your profitability. The price of Pergo flooring can vary based on your choice of different tile or plank options. But Pergo’s price falls short of the cost of exotic wood installations. Priced per square foot, it costs about half as much as hardwood flooring.
3. Once installed, Pergo flooring is one of the easiest to maintain and care for. They come pre-installed with a LusterGard finish that protects it from scratches and water damage. You would never need a second investment involving a second round of polishing, waxing, or treatments. Mops or vacuums with hard floor attachments are all that is needed to keep your Pergo floor clean.
4. According to the manufacturers, Pergo floors come with a unique guarantee against stains, discoloration and water damage; applying special sealants to the floor surface acts as a shield against scrapes, scratches, and food and beverage spills. The manufacturer’s claims have been backed by Pergo’s number one rating in consumer satisfaction year-over-year.
5. Above all, Pergo floors are much easier to install than tongue and groove hardwood floors that require the use of nails.
In short, Pergo floors offer you a unique package that is great looking, easy to maintain, and easy to install. So there is no reason why you shouldn’t go for this affordable and eco-friendly alternative to hardwood flooring for your home décor project.
