Engineered Wood Product Information
You'll only buy them once
We want you to have it all! Not only a stunning Pergo wooden floor, but one that will stick by you through thick and thin. A timeless, durable, and sustainable choice. Therefore, we’re slightly (probably very) obsessed with two words: maximise and minimise. They are actually connected, as one leads to the other. By maximising the use of every single tree, we minimise waste and our environmental impact. A no-brainer, in other words. Therefore, for instance, we craft different sized planks for you to choose from. And using anything other than wood recovered or sourced from sustainably managed forests in our hdf core would just be very weird to us. Because Pergo wooden floors must be beautiful, inside and out. Living up to the prestigious Nordic Swan Ecolabel they all bear.
Made for kids and other hazards
Given that a product’s lifespan significantly affects its environmental impact, we’ve made sure your Pergo wooden floor is built to last. Our unique, patented StayClean and StayClean+ technology effectively protects your Pergo wooden floor against dirt, and the slayer of all wooden floors, liquids. This brilliant innovation will be there to support you on rainy days. Or when the kids try to bake a cake. Or in general when things go… not quite as planned. Whatever life brings, your Pergo wooden floor is ready for it. Ensuring you won’t have to get a new one for a lifetime. As brilliant for you as for Mother Earth.
Wood you care?
(A pun never hurt anybody) If we told you that we optimise the use of every single tree, you probably would care, right? Because you don’t want a floor manufacturer that doesn’t care about respecting the environment. No matter how breathtakingly beautiful the floor is. Therefore, we produce various sizes of planks for you to choose from, both in terms of length and width. This allows us to minimise waste and use pretty much the whole tree. Our obsession with mitigating waste also extends into the production process itself. Each step is scrutinised like a treasure hunter in search of hidden gems – to minimise environmental impact and maximise the value extracted from our beloved wood.
That good wood
When making the core of your Pergo wooden floors, we use either wood from fast-growing trees (Spruce or Hevea) or a high-density fibreboard (HDF) made of recovered wood. In other words, only good wood! The Hevea trees (rubberwood) we use are initially planted and used by other industries for latex tapping. After 25 years of service, they are usually harvested and incinerated, but not when we get our hands on them. Then they become an important part of your floor, which is a much better fate. The recovered wood waste used is gathered from sawmills and roadside maintenance, for example – and would otherwise just be thrown away. By doing this, we can limit our use of slow-growing trees and make the most of our sustainable options.
We'll Keep you safe
Given the considerable time we spend within our homes, the indoor air quality is pretty important. How you ventilate, the cleaning products you use, and even the furniture you have, all affect the indoor environment in some way. So do the floors you put in. Because we produce our floors in-house, we know exactly what goes into them. This helps us control any bad stuff that might come out of them, such as VOCs (which stands for Volatile Organic Compounds). So, you can be totally sure that your beautiful floor is completely safe for you and your family.
Is there a better grade than A?
No, there isn’t. At least not when it comes to low VOC emissions. Volatile Organic Compounds possess a high vapour pressure at room temperature. This means they’re really good at turning into gas and spreading into the air, even when it’s not hot. One potential VOC in flooring is formaldehyde (we know, scary name). The formaldehyde emissions from our wooden flooring are even lower than the strict EU restrictions. This is reflected in our A label, a highly regarded emission regulation certificate. So, just relax and take a deep breath because we’ve got your back. Well, and your lungs.
Cleaning of your hardwood floor with water
A Pergo wooden floor has a sealed surface thanks to the StayClean technology which prevents moisture staining the joints and dirt of accumulating in the structure of your floor. This makes the floors very hygienic and easy to clean. Some floors even come with StayClean+ which keeps the surface of your wooden floors also watertight, even if water stays on the surface for up to 72 hours.
Only regular cleaning is needed with a vacuum cleaner, a dry Pergo mop or a slightly damp microfiber mop.
Pergo’s high-quality maintenance accessories and products make it easy to keep your Pergo wooden flooring looking beautiful. They avoid build-up so dirt and unhygienic residues are removed at a glance.
