Winter Flooring Trend: Engineered Hardwoods

Surface & Panel -

DALLAS, Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — As homeowners demand more family/pet/life-proof flooring options, Pergo, the inventor of laminate flooring and one of the world's most recognized flooring brands, debuts additional engineered hardwood decors to complement winter color trends.

"Engineered hardwoods are made of premium wood and marry the beauty of solid hardwood with exceptional durability and convenience," says Paij Thorn-Brooks, vice president of marketing for Pergo. "It's no surprise U.S. FLOOReport noted 16 percent growth in this flooring option."

The Pergo Lifestyles engineered collection features 13 trend-savvy decors in smooth and wire-brushed finishes as well as multiple widths. New winter tones include Midnight Maple, Leathered Oak and Java Walnut.

The softer hues and blues in this season's palette also pair well with Pergo Max Chocolate Oak or Windsor Maple. Plus, this line's click-together joints lock into place without nails or glue for easy installation.

Enlarge the look of any room – from small foyers to ample living areas – by varying sizes and placements.

  • Longer, wider planks help stretch the look of the space.
  • Planks laid diagonally magnify this effect.
  • Mixing widths also adds visual interest – and a custom, high-end style without breaking the bank.

Trendsetters can even transform walls – with locking engineered planks positioned horizontally for a rustic accent wall.

"The new colors and textures provide a lot of design flexibility," Thorn-Brooks said.

Exclusively at Lowe's, Pergo Lifestyles and Pergo Max are made from premium hardwood and come with an industry-leading warranty. All Pergo products are FLOORSCORE® certified and meet or exceed the highest standards for environmental safety.
