Pergo, Mohawk Named in Home Depot 2016 Innovation Awards

Home Depot Logo 900x550
December 15, 2016

The Home Depot announced that Pergo Outlast+ won the retailer's 2016 Innovation Award. The annual award recognizes the most innovative new products that provide true benefits to consumers and the companies that exceeded expectations in sales, service and program execution. Pergo Outlast+ was selected because the new laminate flooring provides 24 hours of defense against liquid spills, the company said. 

Runner-up honors were awarded to Milwaukee Tools for its Milwaukee M18 Fuel with One-Key. One-Key allows users to connect to the tool with a smartphone for unlimited customization and control. And honors went to Heath Zenith lighting for its Defiant LED Blade motion activated security lights. Blade LED motion light provides seamless light coverage.

Additionally, Trex Enhance Composite Decking, made from 95% recycled materials, won Environmental Partner of the Year and PPG won Marketing Innovation for its Glidden Diamond Launch campaign.

In addition to the top three award winners, The Home Depot recognized the companies that round out the top 10 product innovations:  

Mohawk Industries Lifeproof Carpet has lifetime stain protection, superior softness, exceptional durability and environmentally friendly attributes.

Ryobi Ultra Quiet Garage Door Opener ultra-powerful motor will quietly open and close large doors with ease, and comes with a multifunctional wall control, wireless keypad, two remotes, safety sensor and can be controlled via smart device.

FEIT LED Edge-Lit Flat Panel Lighting integrates the latest in LED technology with a low profile design that directs the light downward creating uniform light distribution without hot spots, flicker or glare.

Masterbrand's Thomasville Studio 1904 cabinets offer 12 unique door styles with simple straight lines, offering a modern style.

Nexgrill Evolution Plus 5-Burner Gas Grill with Side Burner provides the flexibility of choosing between direct heat and infrared cooking and also has a smoker for smoldering wood chips.
