This was my second 20+ box installation of Pergo and I was hating life until I saw your tip on connecting the long side and beating the short end into place. Wow, we quadrupled our production and cut swearing by 85%. Thanks!

Looks great, we will be installing our whole 1st floor this coming week (well after painting). I am using the same type of Pergo and wasn’t going to use the under flooring if it passed the moisture test, but after hearing that it helps with the sound will also install.

This was a very helpful tutorial, well done. I'm installing Pergo Outlast+ waterproof laminate flooring and the instructions say to put a round foam caulk saver into the expansion gap, then follow with 100% silicone caulking around the perimeter of the floor. It doesn't look like you did this step. Was your flooring not the "waterproof" version of Pergo Outlast?

Debating if installing laminate or LVP. So overwhelming to decide!!!! I have 2 labs and 2 cats.

How did this underlayment work with the Pergo? Any flexing? The Pergo underlayment is so much more expensive, it would be nice to use this one instead. Great video.

Did your flooring have pre installed underlayment alreadon it?
