Customer Reviews for Pergo Outlast+ Java Scraped Oak 12 mm T x 6.1 in. W Waterproof Laminate Wood Flooring (16.1 sqft/case)

I bought a pallet of the Antique Cherry. Truck delivery was slow but driver was very helpful and pulled the pallet right up to my porch. They do not do inside delivery so prepare for a long workout. As others has stated, its a bit trickier to install. They fit together really tightly (I guess that is why its water resistant) so you have to do a little more work. What worked best for me was to assemble the whole row at a slight angle. Then work down the row twice, gently tapping each board in the center. When all boards are tight. start gently pressing them flat. You make a tapping block from a scrap piece that mates so you never tap directly on the board. After a few rows I got the hang of it. The appearance is quite good and dramatic. Minor gripe is, these boards have actual ridges so it may be a bit of a dust trap and harder to clean/Vacuum. I used Pergo Gold underlayment which I love for ease of use and vapor barrier. Overall very satisfied.

Absolutely amazing! A complete transition for a 1/3 of our home and it just looks fantastic. Very happy with the entire process from measuring, delivery and installation. Only recommendation I would make is to remove the existing and install under the existing wall instead adding the 1/4 round. In any case the floor is beautiful!! I have a before and some after pics.

I was so nervous getting these floors! There were no reviews and no samples at my local Home Depot! But we took a chance and I’m so glad we did! They are absolutely beautiful! We have a new construction custom build and they make our home beautiful!

I installed Outlast+ to replace a beautiful cork floor - the wrong product if you have pets. It is so beautiful that we are inspired to upgrade baseboards and trim to craftsman-style wood. A friends house yesterday I saw her new wood floors. You cannot tell this Pergo material apart from actual wood. It is cheaper, easier to install, and more rugged. Love it. I ordered more to convert the rest of my house. I recommend this product without hesitations or reservations.

As described easy to lay down and clean up

Great product looks very very good dropped a hammer on it a few times while installing it never even made a mark just lov the color.

This flooring chips easily!! I just installed it and it already has 2 chips that look white when the laminate comes off. So hard to spend 18 hours installing 180 square feet and have it starting to wear in less than 24 hours. While installing, it handles well. It cuts well and I really liked the color. I had heard that Pergo floors would "peel" and look terrible over time. I was hesitant to buy this product but was told that Pergo had changed over the years and that it was a great product now. I took a chance and am now apprehensive about how well it is going to wear with time. The product is newly installed so we will have to see how it does.

This stuff is beautiful and well made. The texture makes it look like real wood and the waterproof feature is great for pet owners.

I ordered an installed these floors in my house just over a month ago. Just to give you a frame of reference, I am a young lady with minimal home construction under my belt. However, with the help of a friend who has laid floors before (this was his 4th time) we were able to easily install them in less than 40 hours total. Which considering I put them in my foyer, master, living room, dining room, breakfast nook, and hallway leading back to my two guest rooms, I think went quicker than expected. I will say, my friend mentioned that where most floors truly "Click into place", these took a little more love. They had to be tapped into place. I didn't mind, considering that tells me this is a really tight fit. With them being "waterproof", the tightness seemed appropriate! I really wish words could describe how much I love these floors! I love the texture, the color, the thickness. These floors are truly amazing for the price! I will say that they are darker than i would consider "auburn", however I order just one box to see them in person and in the house to make a decision and it was a great investment. I would recommend these floors to ANYONE!

Beautiful. Soft on your feet but not slick. Love it.

I would never recommend this flooring to know body. Its real cheap and the corners chip easy. While installing this floor my girlfriend drop her iPad on the flooring and it was like a 4 feet drop. The iPad has a cover around it to protected it. The cover is not a hard plastic more softer then hard. It made a chip in the flooring the size of a dime. This floor is suppose to be XP extra hard surface (NOT), the flooring scratches easy, and the underlayment that they put on this flooring is so cheap that breaks off. Underlayment is not suppose to breakoff like a potato chip. Maybe the beveled edge flooring they have mite be better. But these edges are straight cut so it chips real easily. I have installed other types of flooring and this is the worst especially for the price.

Absolutely love it! Looks very high end and is durable. It's been in our master bath for a year and we are extremely pleased. If we had known about this before we put real maple in our first floor, we would have used this! It's just beautiful.

The floors were easily installed. It looks like real wood. The color is a beautiful rich brown, and there is texture to make it look more wood-like. It did take a few weeks for the floors to be delivered...

Just completed 168 sq ft room. No problems doing the install. Looks wonderful. Suggestions - Get the tapping block and pull bar, you will need it to get the joints tight. Spend the $100 and buy a brad nailer (I used the Ryobi from HD) it will save you hours and give a better finish when you install the baseboard/quarter round. I also splurged and bought a guillotine cutter, it allowed me to make cuts in the room without all of the dust and having to get up and down dozens of times to go outside to the saw. Fair warning if you do cut the product with a saw, you will generate a ton of very fine wood dust. Do this outside and wear and face mask!!!

High quality product. Very pleased with the look and easy to install. Very consistent product. I purchased a new 80 carbide miter saw blade prior to beginning the project. The surface of the Pergo is made with alluminum oxide and will burn out non-carbide blades.

This flooring looks great and is fairly easy to install . Ive only had it down for a week so time will tell, my only concern with it is there was so lifting of color on the edges during installation

There IS a trick to installing Outlast - it took me about 2 boxes to figure it out. We took our work apart and started over at that point. I was going CRAZY with getting the planks to stay locked together. I would get the first row together, then when I added the second row, adding a new plank would pull previously installed ones apart. The gaps were everywhere! I realized that my baseboards were raised up from the floor just about 9mm (just a little less than the thickness of the planks) - probably to allow the installation of flooring under it when the house was built (but the original owner put down peel and stick vinyl, then carpeted over that later). The upshot was that the spacers that held the flooring away from the wall were not well supported, and when I tapped (or really pounded) the planks with the tapping block, the planks which were supposed to be rigid and provide support to the subsequent rows, were actually moving and causing the gaping. So, we pulled the first row away from the wall and put some 2x4's along the wall to act as a rigid backstop. The second row then went on much easier. We would slide the short edges together, then rotate the plank down so the long edges are close together. Then, standing on the previous row to give additional weight on the previous row, I would use the tapping block to tap the long edges together, starting at the short end that I just joined, and moving down the length of the plank. Putting a full box on the first few rows also helped keep things rigid and in place. I found that it helped to lift up the long edge at the opposite end slightly as I hit the tapping block to allow the tongue to slide in property. You can tell that the edges are clicked together and locked when the new plank suddenly rotates downwards. If the new plank is tilted up, it isn't locked! When the new plank is in correctly installed, the groove edges at the original short end will be totally flush and there will be no gap between the planks. After about 4 rows, we removed the 2x4s, replaced the plastic spacers, and slid the flooring back in place (the plastic moisture barrier made that easy). We really love the look and feel of this flooring. Durability and scratch resistance will be something we will learn more about as time goes on, but experimenting with samples seems like it is pretty scratch resistant.

I just had 550 squ feet installed in my great room and hallways, and it totally transformed the space! Really beautiful. Installed easily. I love the texture. You certainly would not walk in and think oh that's laminate. Very rich and authentic looking. I'll be doing my master bedroom next! It cleans up easily. We had some rain during installation so my dog ran around with wet paws etc. and it is easy to quickly clean up. My 10 month old zooming puppy has given it the scratch test with her running around :) Looks perfect! I'm very pleased with the Outlast! The first person who saw my new floor is going to order some for her house. Highly recommend

I just put a pallet down of the Pergo Outlast+ Java Scraped Oak. It looks beautiful. Its easy to install once you get the hang of it. We installed it over ceramic tile and it worked out wonderfully. It is so very comfortable to walk on. I don't know about the durability yet but is most definitely beautiful.

We had this installed less than a year ago prior to moving into our new home. My husband has a brace on his foot that he must wear and this floor is showing wear from his pivot points. If this floor can’t hold up to his brace, I dont know how it’s supposed to hold up to pets and kids. Other than that it looks great. Since previous owners had installed prior to us moving in I can’t make a warranty claim.

The flooring is beautiful and was so easy to install. Great purchase!!!

Loving my new Pergo Outlast, Auburn Scrapped Flooring! It’s only been 2 weeks and we’re still installing the new baseboard but we’re loving it. We installed it in our Double-Wide Mobile Home (L/R, MB/R and Kitchen/D/R). We went straight across the “marriage line” which is where the two halves of the mobile home are joined. We didn’t want to have a large transition piece and It looks beautiful and makes the rooms look much larger. We plan on continuing it throughout the rest of the House. Obviously, I can’t rate the flooring on its long term durability but Hubby says the installation was pretty easy. He watched many experts videos on installing laminate flooring beforehand and picked up a lot of helpful hints. Buy the tools as recommended and you’ll make your life easier and avoid damaging the flooring. I really wanted the hand scrapped look and it really adds to the charm. We had very little waste and ended up returning several unopened/unneeded boxes as a result. We found the 10% allowance was excessive, but no problem returning them to The Home Depot.

Easy to install & looks great

Love the look, installation was painless, to early to tell if it's going to hold up to 3 kids and two labs so the 4 stars might be premature

The reason I picked out this flooring is because I do daycare out of my house. I wanted something that if the children through a toy across the floor it really wasn’t going to show any little minor in perfect. I love the saw Marks on the flooring. it is very easy to put down I would most definitely recommend this to somebody I absolutely love my flooring I’ve got one room left to do which is my front porch and I have literally done my whole house in this flooring.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Extremely happy with our new "Pergo" floor. This product totally transformed our house from blah, to luxurious! Had seen some other reviews about repetitive patterns, however we had none of that here. The floor was professionally installed by Home Depot and it was done with proper transitions/spacing of planks. It is absolutely beautiful and it goes so well with out existing furniture/cabinets/countertops. We also installed coordinating 1/4 round molding to deviate from the normal "white" trim.

Love this product. Took one star off because there’s not a great way to fix chips, and they do happen. Besides the one chip we do not have any scratches. Had for 7 months in a high traffic area. Love how neutral the brown is.

We like the rustic appearance of this flooring. We installed it on concrete in a walk-out basement. Easy install but I didn’t like the transition pieces Pergo sells so I made my own out of alder.

Removed 20 year old carpet and installed new pergo floor. Installation was easy and finished floor looks great. Best part-wife is happy.

The product looks great and was simple to install
