Pergo laminate review
For finishing the floor of your own house or apartment, everyone wants to use only the best materials, providing maximum comfort and coziness in the house. Pergo is the first company that, back in 1977 in Sweden, then took advantage of the still innovative technology and started producing material for laminated floors. Among floor coverings, laminate of this brand has long been considered such a material. The review of Pergo laminate makes it possible to say that this material is easy to install, durable, aesthetic - it has not left anyone disappointed. Numerous positive reviews suggest that the products of this manufacturer will not disappoint even the most fastidious buyer.
Diversity
Laminate is divided into strength classes. Now the company produces three classes - the 32nd (up to 25 years of operation), the 33rd (up to 30 years of operation) and the 34th class, a relatively new version - its service life is not limited.
This material is also subdivided in appearance. The variety of colors, different textures of products, different thickness and width of the slats, the presence or absence of chamfer - all this will create a completely individual floor design.
Why choose Pergo products
The two most important criteria when choosing building materials for finishing premises are design and durability. In combination with reasonable prices, high rates of these qualities allow us to talk about the best materials of their kind.
The company's professionals are constantly looking for and find the best solutions in the field of noise insulation, strength and appearance of the laminated floor. Lamels with special coatings that increase the service life, soundproof layers, new highly aesthetic textures - will delight those who have chosen Pergo laminate.
The prices for this laminate are quite high, but this is more than offset by quality and durability. The average price is about 1500 p. for m2.
Benefits
The main advantages of the products:
- The silver ions used in creating the upper decorative layer protect against bacteria and viruses. This is undoubtedly one of the valuable qualities unusual for other types of laminate.
- SoftTech technology - the company's development in the field of sound absorption. A special soundproofing layer is located inside the lamella and, besides its main purpose, has a positive effect on the strength of the product.
- A layer of soft substrate, located on the back of the lamella - SoundBloc - is additionally sound and heat insulated.
- Resistant to the damaging effects of sunlight. Even after prolonged exposure to sunlight, the paints do not fade, and the floor looks like new.
- Usually laminated coatings react poorly to moisture, and the ingress of water on them is detrimental. Pergo's laminate, thanks to the Moisture Resistance System, achieves high moisture resistance, which allows not to worry about water getting to the floor during operation.
- Cheap laminated floor from Chinese manufacturers in a few months looks very unattractive. Numerous chips, scratches, dents - a consequence of falling on the floor of heavy or sharp objects, walking on the laminate with heels, etc. Pergo is insured against such troubles - TitanX Surface triple protection with aluminum oxide as part of increased wear resistance and lowered abrasion of the slats, reducing the risk of accidental damage to a minimum.
