Pergo Accolade Just Means Attached Underlayment
Pergo brand laminate flooring has a line called Pergo Accolade, which sounds all cool and fancy and mysterious. But the only thing that distinguishes Accolade from other types of laminate is attached underlayment.
Underlayment is the foam layer that you place above the vapor barrier and below the laminate itself. It helps to improve the feeling of the floor under foot. It also deadens the sound.
My view is this:
- Continuous “roll-type” underlayment is immensely easy to roll out. It takes all of ten minutes.
- This roll-type underlayment is about as seamless as it gets. Yes, there are overlaps, but they are minimized. Nothing like having a separate underlayment on each board.
- Attached underlayment is yet another premium that drives up the cost of laminate flooring.
That’s just my take on it.
