| Article | Pergo, the inventor and leading manufacturer of laminate flooring, is introducing Pergo Pro™ – a new premium collection made specifically to exceed the design and performance requirements of commercial environments. Featuring the latest product design features and exclusive wear and performance technologies, Pergo Pro is ideal for larger commercial installations – including retail, business, healthcare, education, hospitality and multi-family housing. “Architects and specifiers now have a superior alternative to hardwood flooring for commercial installations,” said Mike Nielsen, vice president of Pergo Commercial Sales. “New Pergo Pro provides a unique blend of benefits for various commercial applications because it couples the look and feel of real wood with the superior durability of a true performance-grade laminate. Lower in cost than real wood, Pergo Pro is more durable and easier to maintain. Installation also is quicker and easier – and crews stay on schedule because it doesn’t require a drying down time.” Featuring a variety of new décors – from whitewashed to exotic to stone looks – Pergo Pro boasts ultra-realistic textures and handcrafted styles. Natural detail and richness is achieved through a new manufacturing technology that combines superior depth of color and texturing on a thick 10 mm core, and a patented aluminum oxide finish ensures that the floor will not wear through, stain or fade – even after years of heavy foot traffic. Pergo Pro also is extremely resistant to denting and scratching. Designed to meet or exceed all standards established for commercial applications by the North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA), Pergo Pro also is protected by a 15-year Limited Commercial Warranty. Offerings include both standard eight-inch and five-inch narrow-width plank formats, and are as easy to install and maintain as Pergo’s residential products. In addition to 21 flooring décors, the Pergo Pro collection boasts a wide range of accessories, including coordinating moldings, underlayment and cleaning/care supplies. “With Pergo Pro, we’re continuing to lead the way in design and performance for the laminate industry,” said George Kelley, CEO of Pergo North America. “The commercial segment is an emerging market for laminate flooring, and with our latest manufacturing and design technologies – we’re able to leverage Pergo’s reputation for quality and innovation in the commercial marketplace.” Pergo Pro is manufactured in North America and will be marketed exclusively to architects, contractors and other building industry specifiers.
