Pergo XP Highland Hickory Discontinued: Specs and Match

Pergo XP Highland Hickory (model LF000317) is a 10 mm laminate with an attached 2 mm pad that The Home Depot no longer stocks. Owners who need replacement planks generally have to find leftover cartons from other households or choose a close-looking substitute and install it in a separate room. This entry covers how to identify the floor, its published specifications, and the usual ways to source more of it.

Pergo XP Highland Hickory: identification

Highland Hickory belonged to Pergo’s XP (Extreme Performance) line, which Home Depot sold for many years as a mid-priced, glueless laminate. The décor is a medium-dark brown hickory with strong color variation from plank to plank, a hand-scraped texture, and a surface embossed in register, meaning the texture follows the printed grain. Planks are narrow at just under 5 inches wide, with milled bevels on the long edges.

The quickest way to confirm the product is to check the end of a leftover carton or the back of a spare plank. The model number LF000317 appears on Home Depot listings and in resale posts. The Take Home Sample was sold under model PE-882882. If you have no cartons, measure a plank you can see at a threshold or vent: a 12 mm total thickness with a foam-like pad bonded to the underside, combined with a 4.87 in. face width, points strongly toward this product.

Specifications

Because the plank has no listed water protection, the most common reason people search for spares is damage from a leaking appliance, dishwasher, or pet accident, where a few rows near the source have swollen at the joints.

Finding leftover planks

Highland Hickory was popular, so surplus stock still turns up. Resale listings on marketplace sites, local classifieds, and Habitat for Humanity ReStores are the usual sources. Forum threads asking for this floor have drawn replies from owners with anywhere from a single carton to several hundred square feet left over from their own installs. When buying, ask the seller for a photo of the carton end label so you can check the model number, and if possible the production or lot code, since color can shift slightly between runs.

For a small repair, a closet or pantry floored with the same product can donate planks to a more visible area. The closet then gets a near-match or leftover piece from elsewhere. Our guide on finding a replacement plank for discontinued laminate walks through that swap and other options in more detail.

Closest match and alternatives

No current Pergo product has been announced as a direct replacement. In one Houzz forum thread, a homeowner reported that Pergo customer service pointed to a Lowe’s product called Lowland Hickory as visually similar. That suggestion is secondhand, so treat it as a starting point and order a sample before buying. Any substitute should be checked for three things: overall thickness including the pad, the locking profile, and plank width. A floor that differs in any of these will not lock into the existing rows and is better used in an adjoining room with a transition strip.

FAQ

Is Pergo XP Highland Hickory discontinued?

Yes. The Home Depot no longer sells LF000317, and owners have reported that Pergo confirmed the color is discontinued.

Can I mix a different hickory laminate into my floor?

Only if the thickness, width, and click profile match. Otherwise the planks will not lock together, and the new floor should go in a separate area divided by a transition.

How many cartons do I need for a repair?

Each carton covers 13.1 sq. ft. Measure the damaged area and add about 10 percent for cuts, rounding up to a full carton.
