Does any pergo people have any other horror stories or helpful hints? |
We've had Pergo in our Tradewind for a few years now. If installed properly, using the Pergo finish edge, it is difficult to get fluids under it. The edging lays right up against the walls, and has a thin bead of flexible caulking between the wall and the edging.
Underneath this finishing edge goes a semi flexible adhesive, basically sealing the outside edge of the Pergo.
This, of course, can also be done where the floor meets the refrigerator.
Otherwise, liquids could trap under the floor near the shower and kitchen, where some exposure to it is inevitable. I find the Pergo floor all but indestuctible, and ours does not get pampered. We camp on the beach, where 40grit feet and wet bathing suits are a daily occurance.
I think that a quality installation ( key!) and reasonable care afterwards will reward you with a very attractive and durable flooring for your trailer.
