Laminate Benefits (Pergo is a brand name)
The benefits of laminate flooring can be summed up in three words - cost, installation and durability.

Laminate flooring offers the appearance of real hardwood floors or stone tile, but for one half to about two-thirds the cost.

However, people often forget that laminate flooring has a number of other benefits, such as:

  • High UV resistance, blocking the sun’s harmful rays and protecting the floor pattern from fading over time.

    Pergo Installation as Easy as 1-2-3

    Today I installed a floor with an off brand of Pergo Laminate.
    It was approximately 200 square feet. I have built the subfloor myself. It was full of wierd angles that required a saw.

    It took about 2 hours tops to finish completely. I didn’t read the directions that came with the pergo, and it was a breeze.

    The floor looks fantastic and I will post some pictures of the floor soon.

    Until then happy Pergo installing.
