Best Hardwood Floors

If you want the look of wood but can’t quite afford the price, consider Pergo flooring.  Pergo floors are almost indistinguishable from hardwood floors – available in a variety of colors and wood grain textures, these floors are less costly and even more durable than wood flooring.

Pergo, a Swedish company, was the first to introduce laminate flooring to the public. The idea has taken off. This type of flooring gives you the best of both worlds – the look of wood without any of the problems. Whereas a wood floor needs to be stained and finished, a Pergo floor generally does not. Simple cleaning with a broom or mop is usually enough to keep the floor looking good throughout its lifetime.

Noise is another factor. We all love the modern yet classic look of hardwood flooring, but it can also be hard on the ears. Noise travels to lower floors and is magnified by the resonance of wood – this is one reason why wall-to-wall carpeting became so popular in apartments, townhouses and other multi-level dwellings. Pergo and other laminate flooring solves his problem. In fact, a Pergo laminate floor provides better sound insulation than many carpets due to a special noise-buffering material that is laid down underneath the floor itself.

There are many reasons to choose Pergo laminate flooring over wood or wall-to-wall. Laminate floors truly give you the best of both worlds.
