PERGO MAKE A SKATEMENT
Pergo’s Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring withstood the ultimate challenge when it was put to the test by a group of skaters and BMX riders.
The unique formula of its coating is based on the `Five S’ Principle:
In a thrilling video titled ‘Revinylution’, skaters and BMX riders take to a specially designed half-pipe covered with Pergo vinyl flooring (LVT) to test its wear, scratch and stain resistance qualities.
The footage, filmed in December 2015 near Ghent in Belgium, shows skaters and BMX riders performing tricks and exhibiting their skills on the vinyl- floored half pipe covered with glue- down Pergo optimum LVT with Titan V top layer technology. Afterwards, the floor was thoroughly checked for any damage or scratches.
PROTECTIVE TOP LAYER With this test and video, Pergo aims to draw attention to the wear, scratch and stain resistance of its LVT floors.
Marie Callens, Lead Product Manager at Pergo, explained: “Not that long ago, people tended to associate a vinyl floor with a plastic look and susceptibility to wear and tear.
“With modern production technologies and a clear focus on design, we have succeeded in raising vinyl flooring to the next level.”
The Titan V top layer is one of the biggest advantages offered by Pergo’s LVT line. The effectiveness of the top layer became clear when the vinyl floor on the half-pipe was examined after the test.

“This protective top layer seals the surface and improves the floor’s resistance against staining and soiling, as well as scratches and wear.
“With modern production technologies and a clear focus on design, we have succeeded in raising vinyl flooring to the next level,” Marie said.
TEXTURES A daunting task that the coating performed remarkably well was managing to lose none of its natural flair or realism.
As a manufacturer, Pergo differentiates itself through its focus on performance and a constant striving for authenticity. This is achieved through high-definition patterns, an exceptional matt finish, and attention to texture to give the surface not only its authentic look, but a natural feeling as well.
“Like the skaters and riders in the video, Pergo vinyl has a couple of tricks up its sleeve!”

• Stains: If you draw a line using a felt-tip permanent marker on a conventional vinyl floor and leave it for five minutes, it will be extremely difficult to remove, even with an acetone-based cleaning agent. Pergo LVT has a sealed surface that keeps the stain from penetrating through the floor and makes it very easy to clean off. Even the most aggressive cleaning agents can be used without damaging the top layer.
• Shine: An innovative finish gives Pergo LVT a consistent, matt and natural-looking shine, across various production batches. This stands in stark contrast with many of the other vinyl floors on the market that are unable to cast off their ‘plastic’ look and are plagued with inconsistencies in shine between different batches.
• Scuff marks: Rubber soles or chair and table legs can leave nasty black marks on a floor. These marks are particularly difficult to remove and can even damage your top layer. Thanks to Pergo LVT’s sealed top layer even the most persistent marks won’t stand a chance.
• Scratch-resistance: Tiny `micro- scratches’ can quickly make vinyl floors lose their lustre. Pergo LVT’s strong, durable top layer is an ideal alternative in areas subject to intensive use and retains its original extra-matt appearance.
• Scent: There is almost no emission with a Pergo LVT. Virgin primary raw materials are used and the perfectly sealed surface keeps the emission of volatile organic substances to an absolute minimum, resulting in a scent-free product.
