With routine cleaning and prompt spill cleanup, most Pergo® floors last 15 to 25 years. The company backs many of its product lines with a 10-year residential warranty that covers wear, staining, and water damage under regular use. Following the manufacturer’s installation and care guidelines is essential—improper maintenance can shorten the floor’s life span and void the warranty.

If your Pergo ®planks include an attached foam layer, you often only need a separate vapor barrier over the concrete. Products without built-in padding require a compatible underlayment and a moisture barrier, both of which must be installed according to the brand’s instructions. The extra layer cushions the floor, reduces sound, and helps control moisture.

Several Pergo® flooring collections feature a watertight joint design that keeps spills from seeping between the planks. When the flooring is installed correctly and spills are promptly wiped up, these products provide reliable water protection—even at the bevels. Professional installation helps keep seams tight and preserves the warranty for lasting protection.

Thanks to its reinforced wear layer, many Pergo® lines outperform standard laminate or vinyl, resisting light scratches and abrasions. Heavy impacts or dragging sharp objects can still leave marks; therefore, protective pads and routine cleaning are essential. Checking the product’s AC rating will give you a clearer sense of how it will hold up in a busy home.

When installed and maintained correctly, both Pergo® luxury vinyl and laminate planks can last up to 25 years. Thinner sheet-style vinyl may wear out more quickly, especially in areas with high moisture content. Evaluating the thickness of the wear layer and following the manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations will help either product reach its full life expectancy.
