Hum... I avoid Pergo (the brand) and use Mohawk instead. No glue nessessary. Most floating floor systems came to the US from Europe where it is common practice to pull up your floor and take it with you when you move. From what I've seen from UK design shows on the tele, this seems to be the practice.
That is why I was suprised that yours was glued that's all.

Interesting bit from Pergo's website. I do not glue my floors and I've never had any of the problems Pergo talks about here... but then I think there are a lot better floating floor systems than Pergo... it's just they were the first to market the idea in the US:

Traditionally, glued floors offer the most secure installation with long-lasting, tight fitting seams. Until now, it was glued floors for maximum security and click-together floors for ease and speed. Now there's a new way, revolutionary CertainSeal technology - a patent pending joint with pre-applied glue. A pre-glued floor offers the performance of a glued floor and the easy installation of a click floor. We even offer additional warranty coverage with pre-glued floors: the floor will not develop gaps when properly installed!

Why do you avoid Pergo? What do you consider the best flooring to use if I can't afford real hardwood? Please answer as I am getting ready to put down new flooring and am considering Pergo!
