Pergo Presto Glueless Laminate Flooring

One of the newest most innovative laminate flooring products on the market is Pergo Presto. Pergo Presto is a glueless laminate floor that is installed by sliding the pieces into one another by the way of groove and tongue. With Pergo Presto there is an adhesive strip on the backside of the piece that attaches it to the sub floor (can be made of wood, cement, or other flooring products). There is no gluing and no wetting with Pergo Presto, just the simple application.

This type of Pergo floor has a built in edge sealant to protect the floor from getting any moisture beneath it. Moisture can ruin the floor through warping and swelling. This new floor type by Prego is a great solution for people who enjoy to do-it-yourself, and who have the financial leeway for the convenience of a glue-free laminate floor.
