Pergo is the flooring brand that invented laminate flooring. Founded in 1977, has since expanded its offerings to sell hardwood flooring, engineered hardwood flooring, and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring in addition to laminate.

Background

Mohawk, the parent company of Pergo, is one of the world’s largest flooring companies, operating in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. All the products are produced in Belgium by Unilin BV.

Pergo laminate is a high-quality flooring option that is manufactured without toxic chemicals. Plus, Pergo products pass third-party tests with flying colors, which validates its quality, proving it is a great flooring option.

Price

In terms of pricing, Pergo flooring is right in the industry average, ranging from $2.50-$3.00 a square foot.

Water resistance

Although Pergo is laminate, it is not waterproof. However, it is water-resistant, giving Pergo floor owners a 30-minute period to clean up spills without leaving lasting damage.

Durability

Part of what makes Pergo laminate desirable to many homeowners, especially those with kids and pets, is the durability it boasts, being both stain-proof and dent-resistant.
