Adding Pergo to existing Pergo
Has anyone ever added new Pergo to an existing Pergo site? We knocked out a couple of walls and now we need to extend the exisiting Pergo into the new space. I tried pulling up a plank and it seemed to damage the tongue. Any help is appreciated.

Extending an existing Pergo floor
Extending an existing Pergo floor would require you to find the same or similar type Pergo product. Take a piece of the existing floor and go to a Pergo dealer to try to match it. Follow manufacturers instructions for installation and to maintain product warranties.

adding Pergo to existing Pergo
Thanks guys, but maybe I didn't make myself clear. We put in the exisiting Pergo about three years ago and have already purchased the additional flooring. Same brand, same style, etc. The problem is in joining the new and the old. The old Pergo ends in a straight line where the wall used to be. If I added the new stuff in the same straight line it would look pretty obvious. So I need to pull up some of the old planks to stagger the joint, right? But pulling up the planks damages the tongue of the flooring that remains. That's the problem.

Maybe... maybe not. Is the flooring that is in place faded, bleached or otherwise "discolored"? Has maintenance caused a surface haze? If both questions are answered NO, why not just go ahead, and maybe that should have been the first question. If you break tongues, you can rout new groove for the replacement planks but it takes a steady hand, a special router bit and having done it before would be helpful.

Assuming that the floor runs in the direction you want to continue going ie North/South you would need to carfully cut out the stagger in the end peices and install the new into the slots in the same manner as you would when repairing a damaged peice in the middle of the flooring. The instructions for this should be available where you bought the flooring or possibly at the Pergo website, if you don't already have them.
