Pergo Classics Installation Instructions
Care and Cleaning
Place felt floor protectors under legs of moveable furniture. Chair casters should be rubber – not plastic or metal. Place walk-o mats at
entrances. Dust mop or damp mop only. NO wet mopping. If needed, use a solution of 1 cup of vinegar per gallon of water OR 1/3 cup non-
sudsing ammonia per gallon of water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, detergents, soaps, waxes or polishes. Use correct hard surface vacuum
tools. DO NOT use rotating beater bars, floor scrubbers, steamers, jet mops or similar products. DO NOT allow liquids to stand on the floor.
Wipe up spills immediately. DO NOT allow moisture to be on the floor for longer than 30 minutes.
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.
The installation wall should only run vertical to the floor. Sloping walls and surfaces that are parallel to the floor, such as ceilings or sots,
should not be selected. Limit installations to a maximum of 40 feet in length and a maximum of 1 plank length in height.
Laminate is suitable for an accent wall when used in climate controlled (35-65% RH and 60-85° F) indoor installations only. Acclimate
unopened product lying flat in the room where it is to be installed for at least 48 hours. Mix planks from dierent cartons as you install to
maximize the natural appearance.
Check wall for moisture, visible water stains or leaking windows. Do not install laminate over a wall with known moisture damage. Do not
install in areas near water sources such as a backsplash over a sink or bathtub. Acceptable job site conditions, including relative humidity and
wall moisture conditions, must be maintained throughout the life of the laminate application.
Check wall for flatness within 3/16” over 10 feet. Correct any unevenness before installing to allow the laminate planks to lie flat
without rocking.
The following requirements are not intended to supersede federal, state or local building codes, but as with many other interior finish
products, may require modifying existing structural components for successful installation. Owner assumes responsibility for compliance
with all building codes, including maintaining the required distance from heat sources such as fireplaces.
WARNING: For a safe and secure installation, this product MUST be installed in accordance with these installation instructions.
