How to Install Pergo Flooring

A complete guide to installing Pergo Flooring with all the tips and tricks I learned. I do a much better job explaining things in video, so watch that if you are really going to install some. But here are some pictures and steps too.

You need a hammer, beating block, 3/8" spacers, an oscillating saw and a chop saw

Start with a clean dry subfloor. Remove carpet, pad, and tack strips.

Place 3/8" spacers along all walls, to keep planks away to get an expansion gap.

Lift planks at a slight angle, put together and push down to lock together.

Tap on end of plank to remove any joint gaps.

Use the chop saw to cut planks at the end of each row.

Use oscillating saw to cut out holes for vents, and to cut off the bottom of vertical trim, so planks will fit under.

Enjoy your new Pergo floor.
