Pergo Xtra Installation Instructions
Care and Cleaning
A) Place felt floor protectors under legs of moveable furniture. Chair casters should be rubber – not plastic or metal.
B) Place walk-o mats at entrances.
C) Dust mop as primary cleaning method. Occasionally wet mop with water only, using a well wrung out mop; DO NOT pour liquid directly
on floor or use an excessively wet mop that will puddle or leave moisture standing on the floor. If needed, use a solution of 1 cup of
vinegar per gallon of water OR ⅓ cup non-sudsing ammonia per gallon of water. DO NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners, soaps,
waxes or polishes. Use correct hard surface vacuum tools. DO NOT use rotating beater bars,steamers, floor scrubbers, jet mops or similar
products. Wipe up spills immediately. DO NOT allow topical moisture to remain on the floor longer than the time specified in the
product warranty.
Laminate Flooring on Wall Install Instructions
Although originally designed as a durable floor covering, many consumers have started using Pergo laminate flooring on walls to give their
rooms more character and to create a feature or accent wall.
Laminate can be utilized as a decorative covering over an existing clean, dry, secure and vertical wall that meets building codes. The wall
substrate should be primed or painted drywall (gypsum board) only. Do not install directly over wallpaper or paneling. Laminate is not
intended to be used on ceilings, countertops or as any type of structural material.
Installation Around Fixed Objects (such as pipes)
17. Allow ⅜” expansion space around pipes or other fixed objects
Finishing the Installation
18. Remove all spacers.
19. Create a watertight seal by applying flexible 100% silicone sealant to the entire perimeter of the installation. DO NOT use acrylic sealant.
First fill all expansion spaces with ⅜” compressible PE foam backer rod and cover with silicone sealant.
Prior to installing the moldings, apply silicone sealant to the portion of the molding or transition that will contact directly with the
laminate flooring surface.
Install moldings and immediately wipe away any excess silicone sealant.
Apply silicone sealant at connections to door frames or any other fixed objects.
