[VACList] Re: Pergo in Airstreams

[Roy Lashway <rlashway@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I had Pergo installed in kitchen, dr, and family room plus hall ways in 
my home and was concerned about moisture absorbtion of the pressed wood 
material.  I took a scrap and and soaked it for three days to see what  
would happen.  Very little happened.  It absorbed some water but very 
slowly.  In fact after the first day I noted no swelling of the piece and 
a slight swelling at end of three days.  I can hardly imagine a trailer 
situation where is kind of water emersion would happen.   I think using 
it in a trailer would be safe and coupled with sealing with silcone 
around edges would be of little risk for moisture damage.  Also consider 
that if enough water was available to damage the Pergo it would raised 
havoc with whatever floor covering you are using
