- Is Pergo Pro WetProtect really waterproof?
- Pergo rates it for kitchens and bathrooms because the surface and joint seal resist water. It is water-resistant laminate, not a waterproof vinyl; standing water left on seams can still get in, so wipe spills promptly.
- Can I install it over tile or concrete?
- Yes, as a floating floor over most flat, sound substrates, including concrete and existing tile. The subfloor must be level within the usual tolerance, and a moisture barrier is needed over concrete.
- Does it need underlayment?
- Pergo Pro planks have an attached pad on some versions; check the specific SKU. If yours has no attached pad, a thin foam underlayment is recommended for sound and comfort.
- How does it compare with luxury vinyl plank?
- Laminate is harder and feels more like wood underfoot, but vinyl is fully waterproof and more forgiving in wet rooms. Choose Pergo Pro for a wood look and dent resistance; choose vinyl for basements or rooms prone to standing water.
- What is in the box?
- The carton contains the click planks only; underlayment, trim and transition pieces are sold separately. Check the square-foot coverage per carton before ordering and add 10 percent for cuts.
- When is it cheapest?
- Laminate flooring tends to drop during spring remodeling sales and holiday promotions. Compare per-square-foot prices across stores rather than per carton, since carton coverage varies.
