How long does Pergo laminate flooring typically last?

Pergo laminate flooring typically lasts 15 to 25 years in residential use with proper care, and up to 30 years for premium collections, depending on wear layer, traffic, and maintenance, with lifetime residential warranty covering wear-through. Pergo laminate like Outlast Plus and TimberCraft features AC4 and AC5 wear ratings with aluminum oxide finish that resists scratches and dents, designed for 15 to 25 years residential use, with lifetime residential warranty that covers finish wear-through for as long as original owner owns floor. With proper care including regular sweeping, damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaner like Bona, using felt pads under furniture, and maintaining humidity 35 to 55 percent, Pergo laminate can last 20 to 25 years in low to medium traffic areas like bedrooms and living rooms. In high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens, Pergo laminate may last 10 to 15 years before showing wear. Premium Pergo TimberCraft with AC5 commercial rating may last longer, up to 25 to 30 years residential. Pergo laminate cannot be refinished like hardwood, so when finish wears through, it must be replaced. Compared to luxury vinyl plank which lasts 20 to 30 years and hardwood which lasts 50 to 100 years with refinishing, Pergo laminate lasts 15 to 25 years, which is good for laminate. Warranty requires proper installation and maintenance.
