Pergo Launches Enhanced Vintage Home LineIndustry-leading collection to boast new premium features

Pergo is taking realism to a whole new level with the launch of its enhanced Vintage Home line - already recognized as one of the most authentic laminate flooring collections on the market. Coinciding with the introduction of five stunning new décors, all Vintage Home décors now feature premium attached underlayment and the unparalleled realism of AccuWood™ Textures.

"After the successful launch of our innovative Vintage Home Traditional Strip in 2005, we made it a priority to upgrade the original Vintage Home collection to ensure that it maintains a strong reputation among retailers and consumers alike," said David Small, director of marketing for Pergo. "We've made two major product improvements to Vintage Home without increasing its price."

Available in five new décors - Berkshire Oak, Hudson Oak, Eastwick Oak, Lenox Oak and Nantucket Pine - the revamped Vintage Home collection will showcase Pergo's latest texturing innovation - a new multi-dimensional process that replicates the exact pattern, layering and sensation of hard wood. For the ultimate in authenticity, Vintage Home also will continue to feature Pergo's exclusive AccuWood™ Textures.

For a more authentic sound Vintage Home will offer premium attached underlayment. This enhancement creates a more natural resonance underfoot and makes the product easier for do-it-yourselfers to install by eliminating the need to purchase and lay down separate rolls of underlayment underneath the planks.

Ideal for high-traffic or entertainment areas of the home, such as kitchens, dining rooms and living rooms, Vintage Home will continue to offer a 10 mm core, a dual-locking click joint for moisture resistance and guaranteed durability through a lifetime warranty against wear-through, staining and fading. And, with the addition of LusterGard Plus™, an exclusive surface technology that provides scuff and scratch protection, these floors will keep their "brand new" look for longer.

"Vintage Home has consistently been a strong seller for our specialty retailers," said Small. "We're very excited about the ability to build upon that legacy by delivering even more innovation to our partners and consumers."
