Pergo XP Classic Auburn Oak (LF001002)

Pergo XP Classic Auburn Oak is a Home Depot Pergo XP laminate color with model LF001002. Published FlooringFX specs list an ~8 mm build with attached underlayment, a plank about 7.48 in × 47.24 in, milled bevel, PermaMax / AC4 surface, and about 19.63 sq. ft. per case. Pergo customer service confirmed the color discontinued in a December 2022 Home Depot Q&A and named Pergo XP Anndel Oak as a close alternative (color only — not a guaranteed click match without trim). It is not Pergo XP Highland Hickory LF000317 (12 mm total with pad), and not Outlast+ or Max. Confirm the brand strip says Pergo XP plus LF001002 before treating any reddish “oak” leftover as a match.

This page is a citeable ID hub for leftover matching. It does not list live inventory. Photograph the carton end and match brand strip + LF string before buying or posting a Match listing.

How to ID Classic Auburn Oak on a carton

1. Read the brand strip: it should say Pergo XP (or the XP line marking), not Pergo Traditional Living, Outlast+, Harmonics, Style Selections, TrafficMaster, LifeProof, or Select Surfaces.
2. Match the color name Classic Auburn Oak and model LF001002. Do not invent a code from a “similar items” suggestion. Receipts and HD order history also list the LF string.
3. Check thickness including the attached pad: published build is listed as 8 mm with attached underlayment. A 12 mm Highland Hickory assembly will not sit flush with this ~8 mm XP plank.
4. Photograph the full carton end (brand strip, color name, LF string, any batch / dye-lot codes, sq ft) and a plank face before you post a Match listing. Shot list: photograph the carton for Match.
5. Do not treat Anndel Oak, Highland Hickory, TrafficMaster reddish oaks, or other “auburn / oak” marketing names as interchangeable with XP Classic Auburn Oak even when photos look close.

What will not match

• Pergo XP Highland Hickory LF000317 (10 mm + 2 mm pad / 12 mm total — different millimeter family)
• Pergo Traditional Living Antique Hickory LF000703 / LF000713 (different Pergo line)
• Pergo XP Anndel Oak (named color alternative; Pergo does not state click-compatibility — trim between floors)
• Pergo Outlast+ / Defense+ waterproof lines (different collections from XP water-resistant laminate)
• TrafficMaster laminate, Costco / Harmonics, or LifeProof vinyl mixed into one floating field with Pergo XP
• Any “close enough” click plank with a different brand strip, LF string, locking profile, or thickness including pad. Dye-lot agreement does not override those mismatches.
