Pergo Laminate Flooring Born Of Countertop TechnologyBy impregnating layers of paper with resins and gluing them together under high pressure, Prego laminate flooring was introduced in Europe in 1984. Ten years later it was floated across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States and its ease of installation quickly became a love of the American do-it-yourselfer. Over the years, composition and technology changes have made it significantly stronger than the countertop laminate predecessor and it is now widely used in the new and renovation home market. Several manufacturers have come on board the laminate flooring train, some better than others, but the one thing they call have in common is the easy installation techniques and the love of the handyman. Prego laminate flooring was the first to hit market, spawning a great following of other flooring makers, opening the market for the new trend in home remodeling. Improvement Continue To Add Durability When the company first started to develop the stronger core materials that ended up the base for Prego laminate flooring, lamination had already achieved a place in many applications beyond countertops. Using laminates for wood furniture allowed of the manufacture of inexpensive furniture and counters that had the appeal of natural wood without the high cost of materials. Laminates were often seen as a way to beautify floors, but the technology of the late 1980's had not created t a core or surface strong enough to withstand the rigors of daily use as a flooring material. It was not until Prego laminate flooring developed a material that was 10 times as strong as previous cores that its use as a flooring material became possible. In less than 10 years the developments of Prego laminate flooring has made it one of the most popular flooring materials in the construction industry. Prego laminate flooring packaged the product in short, four-foot lengths, each one covering approximately 20-square-feet, enabling the homeowner to take it home in the trunk of the car and install it on their own, eliminating the expense of installation and frequent refinishing to provide a quality looking floor in significantly less time and at a lower cost. |
