Pergo at a glance: products and EPD coverage

Who Pergo is, in one minute

Pergo is a Mohawk-owned brand with deep roots in laminate, now spanning vinyl and engineered wood across North America and Europe. In Europe the brand sits inside UNILIN. In the U.S. it appears widely at Lowe’s and specialty dealers. The net result is a consumer powerhouse that often shows up on commercial schedules for multifamily, hospitality, and retail.

What they sell

Pergo is not a pure play. The core lines are laminate, luxury vinyl plank and tile, and engineered wood. Add trims, underlayments, and stair solutions as supporting pieces. Across collections and colors the active catalog runs into the hundreds of SKUs, so portfolio breadth is real.

EPD coverage, fast facts

Good news first. Parent-company EPDs exist that map to Pergo’s three main categories.

• UNILIN has verified EPDs at IBU for laminate, luxury vinyl, and multilayer parquet, with current documents carrying validity windows into 2028 and 2030 (IBU, 2024; IBU, 2025). One multilayer parquet EPD explicitly lists Pergo among covered brand names, which is handy when submittals get picky about branding (IBU EPD-UNI-20230478-IBC1-EN, 2024).
• For projects happy to use sector averages while waiting on a product‑specific file, RFCI’s 2024 industry‑wide EPDs cover LVT gluedown, LVT looselay, rigid‑core SPC and WPC, plus other resilient categories (RFCI, 2024).

If your bid is in Europe, UNILIN’s EN 15804+A2 route helps. If your bid is in North America, the UL Part B flooring PCR is the familiar lane for vinyl and related resilient categories, so make sure the specific EPD aligns to that expectation (RFCI, 2024).

Where gaps still show up

Brand pages for popular U.S. lines like Pergo DuraCraft or XP+ rarely surface an EPD link on the product detail page at the time of writing. That leaves specifiers hunting parent‑level documents or defaulting to an industry‑wide EPD. On LEED v5‑minded projects, that can trigger conservative modeling or substitutions, which means a great floor can lose a spec quietly without anyone arguing about performance.

If you manage Pergo in North America, the commercial win is simple. Publish brand‑named, product‑specific EPDs for the high‑velocity lines and pin them to every PDP and cut sheet. That one move reduces back‑and‑forth in submittals and keeps the product in the running when whole‑building LCAs need exact numbers.

Likely best sellers at risk

Think of the rigid‑core vinyl families that drive volume in multifamily and hospitality. When a submittal cannot pair the exact Pergo series with a matching EPD, teams often reach for alternatives already carrying a product‑specific file or a clearly labeled industry‑wide substitute (RFCI, 2024). That swap can happen fast. It is frustrating, and it is preventable.

Who Pergo meets in bids

Common head‑to‑head names include Shaw (contract and retail LVT, plus PVC‑free options with EPDs), Tarkett, Mannington, Karndean, and AHF Products. Many of these competitors publish product‑specific vinyl EPDs or lean on current industry‑wide versions, which makes approvals smoother for healthcare, education, and corporate fit‑outs (RFCI, 2024).

Sustainability signals Pergo already has

Pergo’s public materials emphasize durability, recycled wood in laminate cores, and circularity pilots under UNILIN. If you want a quick primer to reference during client calls, start here: Pergo sustainability. It is not an EPD, but it frames the story that the declaration will quantify.

What a great LCA partner will do for a Pergo rollout

• Map each top‑selling series to the dominant PCR in its target region so submittals never get bounced for using the wrong rule set (UL Part B for North America vinyl, EN 15804+A2 for EU work, then brand‑label accordingly) (RFCI, 2024).
• Pull one clean data year from manufacturing, then pre‑stage a renewal plan so documents do not lapse mid‑RFP.
• Package EPD PDFs with a one‑page summary for sales, and place those links on every product page and cut sheet. Do not bury them in a generic download center, please.

Bottom line for specability

Pergo covers multiple flooring families and, through UNILIN and Mohawk, already sits on EPD infrastructure that reaches 2028 to 2030 in key categories (IBU, 2024; IBU, 2025). The gap is not absence, it is access and labeling. Get brand‑named, product‑specific EPDs live on the exact series that sell most. That single fix stops penalty assumptions in whole‑building LCA tools, keeps value discussions about design and performance, and stops specs from slipping away. Do this and you will definately feel the lift in win rates.
