Trafficmaster Allure Review
“I have been researching options on new flooring for months. I finally decided on Trafficmaster Allure Oak. I wanted to resurface my kitchen, dining room, hallway + 
bathroom. My biggest challenge was the hallway. I have plaster walls and oak baseboard. The door jambs go all the way to the floor so I couldn’t cut them off without taking up baseboards and raising them. I was afraid I would either break baseboard or damage the plaster so every option I looked at didn’t seem to work. I went to HD, bought 3 boxes, went home and frustrated myself trying to figure out a starting place, gave up and returned it. I have never laid any flooring but 12″ peel and stick tiles. 3 weeks later I went back, bought 12 boxes and started.
I went back for more Trafficmaster Allure and am getting ready to start the last room. What a dream to work with Trafficmaster! It is a very forgiving product for a do-it-yourself homeowner. I haven’t run into anything that I couldn’t figure out how to do and the floor looks fabulous! Trafficmaster Allure is very easy to cut, even around the curves in the door jambs that I was so stressed out over. I have several dogs and a pool with wet people in and out and I am really looking forward to summer coming, knowing how easy it is going to be to take care of the floors. Everyone loves it!”
I’m looking for aroung 60 sq ft of mtrafficmaster natural teak laminant flooring. I purchased it at home depot, and now they don’t carry trafficmaster anymore.
I purchased a large amount of Trafficmaster allure oak planking last Feb 2008 for my place of business.
It looks absolutely horrible.
There are multiple white streaks and white permanant spots throughout the entire floor that will not come out.
What a waste of time and alot of money.
I’m trying to find the manufacturers address or website.
I had installed Trafficmaster allure bamboo dark Dec 2008 in our kitchen. We ended up having to put down under flooring since it did not “float” over absolute everything as we were told by Home Depot employees. So, it cost us a LOT more. We received no guarantee papers, or how to care for the floor papers and no help from Home Depot. Finally after a month we were able to acquire a faxed copy of a warranty. BUT, most of all we HATE the floor. It is dull and scuffs horribly!! And we’ve only had it a month. I am sick to my stomach and extremely disappointed in Home Depot. Don’t know what to do. Does anyone know if there is a wax or something to put on it? Help!
this is a few tips on the trafficmaster allure products. the teak is an instock item at all home depots and if its not immediately available it can be special ordered. as far as warranty it does have a 25 year residential home warranty. this covers average everyday use. for cleaning the floor any vinyl cleaner will work fine. allure also makes 2 different cleaning products. they are single-step cleaners one with a rich gloss finish (sku 344-404) and a soft satin finish (sku 344-371)
Contractor installed trafficmaster orignal laminate flooring in home spring of 2008 two weeks later noticed alot of scratching and watermarks from cleaning and everyday use. Floor also dents easy when an item is dropped. Now feburary 2009 floor is starting to lift at the joint connections, curl and buckle. Have called home depot about the problem and have yet to hear back. Floor has a 15 year warranty, some how, I feel like I am going to get the run around according to other bloggs. I don’t recommend this floor to anyone. I am very uphappy with the quality of this flooring and the manner in which home depot is handling these situations.
I installed the allure flooring (oak I think) in a small kitchen (10′ x 15′) … didn’t follow directions in keeping a 1/4″ gap in all places … and all is fine(now being a year later).
I feel for those who’ve had such a bad outcome. I was worried myself, but hopefully now that it’s gone through a cold winter and a hot summer I’m beginning to relax.
