stay away from pergo : : My wife and I have been shopping for laminate flooring. Talk about confused! We aren't that price sensitive, but just want the best overall value. Pergo, Witex, WilsonArt, etc., etc.. Of course they are all "the best" according to each salesperson.
: : Can anyone share any words of wisdom? Not looking for a recommendation, just a hint or two.
: I might suggest a couple of things to look at:
: 1. Make sure the product is recommended for your particular use.
: 2. Compare warranties.
: 3. If you are hiring an installer, get some feedback from him/her.
: 4. Compare construction features, such as inner core density.
: 5. If you do it yourself, will any special tools be required?
: 6. And perhaps most important. which pattern do you really want to live on the next several years?
: Hope I didn't just add to the confusion!
