[VAC] Re: Pergo vs. ....

["Nick Novia" <nnovia@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am in the process of selecting a new floor covering also. I have considered
the Pergo type flooring, but two things really worry me. 
The first is water damage.  I'm not sure it is worth the risk if I had a leak?
 How many of us can say we have never had a fixture, or a pipe/hose  break?
 I know I can't.  I shudder to think what might have happened to my nice new
Pergo floor if it had water sitting on it for any length of time. 

Are you installing the Pergo around/between the existing furniture, or is everyone
cleaning out the interior and recovering the entire floor?  That's what I'm
doing.

I would think the Pergo type floors are very heavy compared to what was in there!
A very good inlaid linoleum for my 22 footer will approximately 90 lbs.(That's
what the website reported)

I also won't feel comfortable unless I have a one piece floor covering! I will
still coat the edges with epoxy!

Originally I really wanted a "wood" flooring, but unless I select the "best"
inlaid type linoleum, at around 55+ bucks a square yard, I won't. I will select
a good quality flooring that matches the original as close as possible.  Now
if I can only find one without that ridiculous shine!

Be careful with the wood.  Water....it's everywhere!! <g>
