| Article | Pergo, the inventor and leading manufacturer of laminate flooring, was prominently featured in the recent Orchard Hill Designer Show House at Old Westbury Gardens in Old Westbury, N.Y. The popular Show House, set on a historic property, was open to the public during the early summer and garnered significant buzz in the design industry for its unique setting and eclectic décor. Interior designer John Loecke, a regular contributor and stylist for several national shelter publications, designed the Show House’s gardener’s cottage and specifically requested Pergo for his project. Pergo was featured in the bathrooms, kitchen and dressing room of the cottage as well as in the estate’s carriage house, which served as a gift shop while the property was open for tours. Working with popular Pergo décors from the American Cottage collection – Boathouse Pine and Driftwood Pine – Loecke created a striped pattern in the dining room of the cottage that showcased Pergo’s distinctive whitewashed looks. Visitors to the Show House – including designers, architects, media and design-oriented consumers – were impressed by the floor’s chic appearance and durability. “This was an ideal opportunity to showcase the high-style, authentic look of Pergo flooring in a home environment,” said David Small, vice president of marketing for Pergo. “It’s always impactful when designers, media and consumers can interact with our flooring and experience the beauty of genuine Pergo for themselves.” The Orchard Hill Designer Show House was featured on the Domino magazine Web site, and will appear in a future issue of Gotham Magazine. Pergo is the inventor and world’s leading marketer and manufacturer of high-quality laminate flooring. Pergo® was introduced in Europe in the 1980s and is now sold in more than 30 countries throughout the world. Launched in the United States in 1994, Pergo is the market share leader in the laminate flooring category. In 2007 Pergo was acquired by Pfleiderer, AG, a leading manufacturer of engineered wood products, located in Neumarkt, Germany. In this acquisition Pergo merged with Uniboard, Inc to become the largest vertically integrated manufacturer of laminate flooring in North America. Pergo, LLC., is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina and has manufacturing facilities in Garner, North Carolina and Laval, Canada.
