We really, really dislike wasting resources, which is why the HDF (High Density Fibreboard) in your breathtakingly beautiful Pergo laminate and wooden floors are made from 100% recovered wood. A waste product we get from sawmills, roadside maintenance, and similar sources.
Vinyl flooring is best for laundry rooms, wet bathrooms, and mudrooms because of its moisture resistance. For dry areas, laminate flooring works well, has a generally better appearance, and has more styles to choose from.
Tip. Pergo laminate flooring must never be waxed, polished, sanded or refinished. Difficult spots like nail polish, markers, tar and cigarette burns can be removed with acetone or nail polish remover.
So, what's the difference? Luxury vinyl planks are thicker and more durable than standard vinyl, making them ideal for high-traffic areas or homes with pets. They're also easier to install, as they can be clicked together like laminate flooring.
Con: Hard to Remove
Once the flooring is down, it will be difficult to remove should you change your mind later on. This is because the adhesive glue that affixes the planks to the subfloor is not easy to remove. Still, should it become necessary, removal is possible without professional help.
For residential spaces, 4-6mm vinyl planks are ideal for balancing comfort and durability. These are perfect for living rooms and kitchens where you spend most of your time. In commercial settings, go for 6-12mm to handle the heavy foot traffic of places like restaurants or retail stores.
Expected lifespan of laminate floors
On average, laminate flooring can last 15 to 25 years with proper care and maintenance. However, some higher-quality laminate floors can last even longer, potentially up to 30 years.
We advise to always use a Pergo underlay. They are specially designed to offer excellent sound reduction, thermal resistance and levelling. The choice of a Pergo underlay will make sure the installation goes much smoother.
Buckling is almost always as a result of water or moisture damage. Moisture tends to seep into the fiberboard core and swells it. This causes the board to push against the adjacent board, forcing it to curl upward.
Pergo planks are installed over Pergo SilentStep™ or Soundbloc™ foam or equivalent foam underlayment when the Pergo product that you are installing does not have an attached underlayment foam. When installing over concrete, an additional underlayment, Pergo Moisturbloc™, a 6-mil.
Laminate flooring was invented in 1977 by the Swedish company Perstorp, and sold under the brand name Pergo. They had been making floor surfaces since 1923.

Yes, if heavy furniture is not properly supported or moved, it can cause permanent damage such as deep indentations, scratches, and tears. Using protective measures like furniture pads, coasters, and sliders can help prevent this.
Firstly, it can be difficult to install and may require professional help. Secondly, vinyl plank flooring is not as durable as other types of flooring such as hardwood or tile. It is also prone to scratching and denting from heavy furniture or objects being dragged across the surface.
Luxury vinyl planks (LVP) are usually designed to simulate the look of wood, as is most laminate flooring, while luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) are usually designed to simulate stone or ceramic tiles. The newest forms of luxury vinyl are amazing and both look and feel like wood or stone.
But while a damaged luxury vinyl plank may need to be replaced, an engineered hardwood plank can be sanded and refinished several times. Ultimately, engineered hardwood floors are likely to last 25 to 50 years or more, while luxury vinyl plank flooring may need to be replaced in 20 to 30 years.
Use Pergo Floor Cleaner -- just follow the directions. Use a Swiffer Wet Jet with the regular Swiffer Cleaner (not the Swiffer Cleaner for hardwood floors). Don't use the wet jet to spray the liquid. Just dampen the Swiffer cloth with the Swiffer Cleaner and go over the floor.
Pergo make a few different floating floors. If installed correctly, theres no reason it shouldnt last 10 to 20 years maybe more.
Laminate flooring is not waterproof, which means that it is susceptible to water damage. If water gets underneath the flooring, it can cause the planks to swell, warp, or buckle. This can result in unsightly gaps, a wavy appearance, or even a complete failure of the flooring.
