			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Laminate flooring is one of the most popular flooring types available due to its affordability and durability—among other factors. Because of this, there are a host of options in the laminate flooring market. While it can be time consuming, it never hurts to acquaint yourself with the values and record of the company you&#8217;re purchasing from. This is especially true of flooring purchases because it can have such a profound impact on your home. When you choose the right laminate flooring for your home, you&#8217;ll have created a valuable and pleasing addition to your home. If you choose the wrong flooring, then you risk wasting time, money and effort. That&#8217;s why with this post I wanted to shine a spotlight on <a href="http://www.floormall.com/FloorNavigator/?FN=Material:Laminates|Brand:Pergo&#038;p=1&#038;nr=12">Pergo Laminate Floors</a>, a giant in the flooring industry.<br />
<span id="more-528"></span><br />
Pergo is the inventor and the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality laminate flooring. Pergo invented laminate flooring in the late 70&#8217;s and since that time it has been introduced in more than 30 countries throughout the world, making them the market share leader in the laminate flooring category. Pergo&#8217;s North American headquarters is in Raleigh, North Carolina. In addition to their headquarters they have manufacturing facilities in Garner, North Carolina and Laval, Canada. If you&#8217;re looking for experience and a dedication to excellence than <a href="http://www.floormall.com/FloorNavigator/?FN=Material:Laminates|Brand:Pergo&#038;p=1&#038;nr=12">Pergo Laminate Floors</a> are a perfect fit for your home.</p>

The line&#8217;s intense popularity in sales environments and its high-appeal as a glossy, superior fashion flooring has propelled it to promotions of homeowners and contractors alike.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in" class="MsoNormal" align="left">In recent years, glossy, shimmering floors have become more popular in homes around the world, showcasing a high-class imagery for affordable checkbooks. The attractive Piano Finish (as it is popularly referred to) is the trademark characteristic of a growing trend in laminate flooring. Until recently, this shining topcoat had been reserved solely for hardwood flooring, especially of the solid variety. The line itself features both exotic and domestic representations of the hardwood variety.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><img src="http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/Armstrong/RSL3055_2?wid=475" align="right" width="250" />Technical features include an AC rating of 3, Armstrong&#8217;s premium 30 year residential warranty, and the Lock and Fold installation method that exemplifies simplicity and the ability to install it yourself. At 5 inches wide and ½ inch thick, it resembles so closely a wood floor that some homeowners did not recognize it as a laminate until it was revealed to them. The HydraCore Plus core board lends to this illusion with supreme moisture resistance and a comfortable thickness underfoot.</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in" class="MsoNormal" align="left">Feedback from consumers has proved unanimously positive in regards to the wear and maintenance of the floor, stating that the flooring requires only brief cleaning regularly to keeps its luster high, and beauty according.</p>
