Pergo Outlast Flooring?

last modified: 9 years ago

Has anyone installed the new Pergo Outlast + flooring in a bathroom? Is it truly water resistant? We are hoping to put it in a master suite (including bathroom)

Pergo Outlast + in Vintage Pewter Oak

    To test its durability to moisture get a sample and submerge it into a tank of water for 2 weeks. If it doesn't swell or split you should be fine.
    I've had a sample of Coretec Plus by US Floors submerged for nearly 18 months. Its integrity is superb.

    It's only guaranteed to be moisture proof when dried within 24 hours. I just installed it in my first floor bedroom/den. It's supposed to be great for homes with dogs. However, we used tile in the new bath we added for this room. I don't believe it is recommended for wet environments.

    Yeah I know it isn't "waterproof" but only water resistant. The bathroom was an addition and is really large so we are trying to do something a little more affordable that can flow between both rooms. I've seen where there are some extra steps to take of installing in a bathroom I was just really hoping to get a testimonial from someone who had done it. I'm nervous about taking a risk like that but we do keep rugs around the shower and regularly run a dehumidifier in there. Gosh I don't know haha.

    Just ordered 700 square feet of tile from local tile store....the tile was a good deal at contractor prices, but the labor to install and rip out our existing floor is where the major expense really gives you sticker shock. My tile guy asked me if I would like to sit down when he was ready to give me the estimate! WOW! But when you live with 3 awesome dogs, you do what you have to! Love your tile. Thanks for sharing. I will be checking that out when...if we ever do the bathrooms.

    Anyone have pics of outlast perrgo in the grey colors that they offer? need a practical, affordable solution for our bedrooms

    @indahowz we ended up going with a luxury vinyl plank in our bedroom - we actually put a hold on doing the bathroom for now. Our planks are not grey so I won't bother with a picture - but from all the flooring experts we spoke to the vinyl was recommended over laminate (Pergo) every time. It's fully waterproof, durable, nice to walk on, affordable, and there are TONS of options in terms of color/width/etc. Coretec is top of the line, but we ended up going with Allure Isocore because of the price point.

    how long have you had Allure installed? Checking out different companies...LW has a vinyl plank that I love the look of called CAMELOT but I don't know anything about that company.

    Just a couple weeks, so I can't speak much to it's durability. I do know that it's currently filthy (drywall dust) and you can hardly tell, and that I love the way it feels to walk on. Other than that, I'm not a ton of help haha - sorry!

    Kaitlyn, how has the Allure held up with your dogs and any urine? I have an old dog.

    I'm thinking of using Outlast in the half bath. Package lists waterproof. Anybody tried in such an application?
