Laminate Flooring Product Information

Tough floors for rough play

Pergo laminate floors are designed for a lifetime of use – and are literally ready for whatever life, or the kids, throws at them. We make our floors tough and hardwearing for two reasons. First, we don’t want you to have to worry about your floor keeping up with you and your family. Secondly, products with an extended lifespan have a reduced impact on our planet's resources. Which is why we continue to invent superb technologies, such as scratch-resistant TitanX™ and AquaSafe. Unique protection to keep your laminate floors as something to boast about for a long time. As a result, our floors are some of the most environmentally sound flooring options available worldwide. In fact, Pergo laminate stands out as the first floor in the world to be certified with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.

World Champion in HDF recycling

For decades, we’ve been working hard to find ways to reuse wood, making its lifespan longer and the strain on the environment smaller. Which is quite complicated for about a thousand and one reasons, none of which we’ll bore you with here. Because now we should celebrate! We’re taking a monumental leap forward with our new, world-unique recycling technology. The UNILIN Group, the company behind Pergo, is currently the only manufacturer worldwide capable of recycling HDF fibreboards into new materials. Like the core of your Pergo laminate floor. We thereby double the lifespan of wood fibres, allowing new trees the time to grow and protect the environment by storing carbon dioxide. We're actively working towards incorporating 25% recycled waste into our HDFs by 2030

 

A renewable fighter

Trees are like the world champions of everything. Not only are they breathtakingly beautiful and a renewable treasure; they are also a fierce ally. Trees play an important role in the fight against climate change. They are brilliant at absorbing CO², and securely retaining it. This captured carbon then stays there for the wood’s entire life, even when crafted into a beautiful laminate floor for your home. The CO² is only released through incineration, an outcome we strive to delay as long as possible. Hence our long-lasting, super durable floors and lifetime warranty.

 

Recover wood is brilliant for wildlife

The fact that trees are important for both animals and biodiversity probably doesn’t come as a surprise. Then neither should our preference for utilising wood by-products, rather than harvesting new trees. We thus use 100% recovered wood when crafting the core of your laminate floor – simply by gluing wood fibers together and pressing them at high density. Easy as that! We gather this wood waste from sawmills, roadside upkeep, and similar sources. So, thank you for helping make use of what would otherwise be thrown away or incinerated.
