Pergo World Traveler Collections

    Innovation & Design: The Pergo World Traveler collection combines rare wood designs with a unique satin gloss finish that brings an exotic, adventuresome look to any room of a home. The satin gloss finish was developed to create a rich sheen that replicates the look of fine exotic wood. This collection features two formats for a customized and authentic hardwood look. Micro-beveled edges on each plank add to the realism.

    Energy Efficiency & Convenience: Featuring a simple, glueless "click" joint, installation for this collection won't break the back or the budget. And, with Pergo's patented LusterGuard Plus™ protection against scratches and wear and a 25-year Limited Residential Warranty, consumers can be assured that these floors will stand up to the test of time, eliminating the hassle of replacing flooring over the years. And, as always, Pergo laminates are easily cleaned with a damp mop.

    Pergo's exotic collection include designs such as:
    * Bamboo Naturals
    * Bamboo Caramel
    * Koa
    * Palissander
    * Tuscan Oak
    * Ironwood
    * Jatoba
    * Merbau

    Pergo Select Traditional Strip
    The Select Traditional Strip collection features narrow-width, random length planks in two different dimensions (3.5" x 31" or 5" x 47") that may be randomly installed to create the variegated look of authentic wood flooring.

    Innovation & Design: The Pergo Select Traditional Strip line combines many of the brand's exclusive technologies in a laminate with the unparalleled look and feel of a true hardwood strip floor, including:
    * Accuwood™ HPL - The industry's first and only registered embossed, high-pressure laminate technology, this state-of-the-art texturing system provides a highly-realistic, three-dimensional finish by closely aligning embossed texturing with the grain of the décor.
    * Four-color Printing - A unique printing process means each décor shines with truer, more eye-catching colors.
    * LusterGard™ Plus - This surface technology offers improved scuff and scratch protection to keep the "brand new floor" look for longer.
    * Micro-beveled Edges - Each edge of Select Traditional Strip flooring has a micro-beveled or eased edge to deliver the most realistic character of authentic hardwood.

    Energy Efficiency & Convenience: Unlike a hardwood floor, Pergo Select Traditional Strip can easily be installed through a glueless click method that employs Pergo's Dual-Locking joint - one of the strongest available. With its thicker surface and core material, superior moisture resistance and the industry's best inclusive lifetime warranty and a 10-year limited Light Commercial Warranty against wear-through, staining and fading, Pergo Select Traditional Strip is perfect for high-traffic areas of the home - or entertainment spaces, such as kitchens, dining rooms and living rooms. It's also quickly and simply cleaned with a damp mop.

    Pergo's Select Traditional Strip collection is available in five designs:
    * Chalked Oak
    * Dark Oak
    * Nordic Maple
    * Salted Lapacho
    * Smoked Oak
