last year

last modified: last year

searching for flooring to put throughout my condo. Went to a well respected independent store to find dent resitsnt to the max, waterproof flooring. was led to Pergo wood originals. i found some colors that i liked and left to talk my contractor.

i read reviews and there is some under a year old. the reviews are better than the big box store brands.

anyone make a recent purchase of Pergo flooring whether we call it YVP or laminate. They come out with something new every year.

Kculbers, I think I have the same color flooring. It's in every room except the bathrooms and kitchen. I could kick myself for not doing the kitchen but I was planning to redo the kitchen and thought I'd be able to get more of it later. I still haven't done my kitchen and found out about a year ago they don't make the color anymore. I do have an extra box in case I need to replace a piece or two.

I also like my Pergo. Easy to take care of and looks great after so many years.

The werid white line by Chewie is sunlight, I think, it's not really there in the flooring.

A few years ago I had my kitchen and bathroom/ laundry room renovated. I chose to keep my Pergo laminate: “American Cottage Golden Oak” flooring, as it still looked great: no dings, chipping, scratching, so easy to clean with diluted vinegar and water (per Pergo’s cleaning recommendations). My friends and family often complain about their real wood flooring scratching and dinging. I love my Pergo!

Pergo Vintage Home vs. Engineered Wood
Q

We installed 3300 square feet about three years ago. The floor had to be removed by a Pergo authorized installer because the floor began to lift and seperate at the corners after one year. We had our original floor installer file a warranty claim. A Pergo authorized inspector came out and did find a manafacturing flaw with the floor, lucky for us....and we had a new floor installed, free of charge. (Well I had to move all of our furniture, but we felt that Pergo backed their product.) We opted for the Pergo Select on the second install, which does not have the "real" surface, but it is much more durable with two young boys. The AC rating is 5 on the select, and I think the Vintage Home is a 3. I guess the inspector did find some small installation issues, with the original installer, but not big enough to destroy the entire floor both upstairs and downstairs. We found the Vintage Home Product to be a little soft. My six year dragged a full laundry basket on it a week after we moved in, and there was a faint 20 foot scratch that would not come out. With the Pergo Select, we can just about crush aluminum cans on it....ha ha! We never really tried, but we have accidently dropped pans and there were no visible marks.

is this the original wood floor? What kind of wood?
Q
Comments (10)
Thanks everyone, I actually asked the neighbor today who has been next door for 40 + years what he knew about the house and if he had seen the floors before they got covered over. He said that in the past 10 years a family came in and put down all the laminate. However, the man who lived here before lived here for most of his life and had everything covered in carpet so I’m hoping that’s good and it protected the wood. I also removed a piece from the first floor and found what I think is face-nailed oak strip flooring. I wonder why face-nailed flooring on one floor and t & g upstairs.

Pergo in bedroom & Wood in upstairs Hallway
Q

If the upstairs hallway is currently carpet, I would just leave it in. Even if it doesn't match anything else right now. Honestly, there's not much reason to do the hallway only in hardwood. If you are worried about it being "seen" from the main floor, just remember that it is OK for the flooring to be different on different levels of the home. Anyone who would complain doesn't deserve access to the the private area of your home upstairs anyway. (I hope you don't have that kind of MIL). Start saving for hardwood for the full upstairs and do that when you are ready.

Any idea what species of wood these original floors are?

Birch for Northern Michigan too. Could be red, Acacia, no way. I hadn't hear of it being used for flooring until the early part of the 20th century. I don't even think it grows in the USA.

YVP? I'm not familiar with that. LVP = Luxury Vinyl Planking.

I DO have a rental with LVP, by Armstrong. Pergo is just as good.....it's very popular. I found a "deal" otherwise I'd have gone with Pergo. At 6 years old and one renter had 3 big dogs...it looks like NEW! LOVE it! ❤️Edited to add a photo:

I also forgot I redid my kitchen right after I moved in with Pergo, a darker color. So, it's from 2004 or 2005. Still holding up fine. Not as pretty as the lighter color, though.

i wish one of you would come with me to the store here in Fairfax, , VA ❤️ however, what i'm feeling is that we are told to compare Pergo to hard wood. really really, feel it's a new era of opening spaces and making our places friendly for kids and animals. i like getting rid of my 18th century flooring and rooms. i had a flood and it ruined my old life. i want to stop wondering if resale is threatened. I think not.

@maggie200...my friend just sold a huge, track home that had pergo flooring and got a premium price for it. I also put in a non-name-brand composite flooring and sold it for a premium price. LVP is more water proof than composite.
