Each major manufacturer of laminate flooring offer several similar advantages. Bruce laminates, Mohawks laminates and Pergo laminates are durable, easy to care for and clean and are realistic replicas of the hardwood, stone or ceramic styles shoppers are looking for.

Pergo can lay claim to the invention of laminate flooring. For over 30 years they have patented and improved on this category. Their laminate flooring is constructed under extremely high heat and pressure, so that no harmful glues or toxins are used. The Pergo laminates are bonded layers of materials, crafted to provide durability and realism. Bruce laminates, however, have trademarked their Hi Definition Print Technology which provides extremely realistic patterns. Although just 10 years in the making, Bruce laminates is part of the Armstrong family which has been producing flooring since 1860. Bruce laminates has worked to use the most advanced technology in their flooring lines.

In addition to extremely realistic portrayals of hardwood and stone flooring, Bruce laminates employ the Bruce Lock Installation method. This method makes use of a unique tongue-and-groove profile that eliminates the need for glue in the installation efforts. Mohawk laminates also command a unique locking system for easy installation.

The Mohawk laminates patented Uniclic Technology allows for a simple installation method by sliding panels into place. Because all four sides of a panel sport this Uniclic Technology, it is easy to slide panels into place at an angle, even in tight spaces. Pergo laminates employ a dual locking system. Combined with comprehensive planning tools and instructional aids, Pergo laminates can be installed and enjoyed in less than a day per room. Pergo’s project planners can also help you find an installer to carry out the task for you.

Mohawk Industries can boast a 125 year history themselves. Although the bulk of this history has been involved with the production and distribution of rugs and carpets, when Mohawk joined the laminate flooring market they became the largest floor covering supplier. They employ over 34,000 workers. Bruce laminates employ over 12,000 workers and Pergo has facilities internationally which distribute all over the world.

All three companies provide a product that is easy to care for and keep clean. Pergo laminates trademarked an exclusive LusterGard surface that ensures your floors will not stain or face over time, and remain easy to clean throughout. Bruce laminates have trademarked a surface themselves, the G3 Wear Layer. Mohawk laminates, like Bruce laminates and Pergo laminates, can be cleaned very easily as well, using just water. Mohawk laminates are also hypoallergenic, to the benefit of many homeowners and their families, and provide a guarantee against water damage or moisture.

Pergo laminates do use recycled content for their flooring. However, Mohawk laminates lead the industry in giving back to the environment. Mohawk laminates use at least 50% recycled materials in their production. Bruce laminates lead the industry in water reduction and also work within their initiatives to conserve forests.
