What is the difference between laminate (Pergo) flooring and wood flooring?
Laminate (Pergo) flooring consists of synthetic backing with a high-pressure laminate surface. Laminate is not renewable and therefore has a short usable life span. However, some manufacturers offers wear, fade and stain warranties between 5-25 years. Wood flooring consists of wood backing with wood wear surface or solid wood. Wood flooring with proper care will last generations. Wood floors can be refinished, re-sanded, and re-coated to look like new again.
