Questions & answers (588) · Leave a comment

Home Depot replaces its flooring colors on a regular cycle, and most of the flooring it sells is private label. That means a discontinued TrafficMaster, Allure or LifeProof color usually cannot be ordered from another store. As of 2026-11-05, the only reliable source for an exact match is leftover cartons held by other homeowners and contractors. The next step is to read your carton label, then post what you need or have on the FlooringFX Match board.

FlooringFX does not sell flooring. We list requests and spare boxes so readers can find each other. Free to list.

Which Home Depot brand do you have?

Home Depot sells several flooring brands, and each was made by a different supplier. Knowing the brand tells you which codes to look for and where else to search. This summary was checked against FlooringFX brand pages on 2026-11-05.

For more on the TrafficMaster lines specifically, see the TrafficMaster hub.

Reading the carton end label

The end of a Home Depot flooring carton usually shows three things:

Lost the cartons? Look through old receipts or your Home Depot online order history. The Internet number is often listed there. The FlooringFX carton decoder covers label layouts for other brands too.

Where leftover Home Depot flooring turns up

Check before you pay

Lay a loose plank next to your installed floor in daylight. Store lighting hides color shifts. Then measure the thickness and compare the joint type (GripStrip, click or glue-down). Same name with a different run code can still look a little off, so put the new planks in a closet or along a wall if the shade isn't exact.

Common questions

Can another store order my discontinued Home Depot color?

Usually not. TrafficMaster, Allure and LifeProof were sold only through Home Depot, so other dealers never carried them. Pergo and Shaw are different: try other dealers using the exact model number.

My floor says TrafficMaster. Is it laminate or vinyl?

Both lines carried the TrafficMaster name. The laminate (made by Shaw) has a fiberboard core. Allure and Allure Ultra are vinyl from Halstead. The carton code and the edge style tell them apart. The TrafficMaster decoder has examples.

Is a close color good enough?

For a whole room, maybe. For a patch in the middle of an existing floor, a near match usually shows. Look for the same code first, then compare in daylight before you buy.

Does it cost anything to post?

No. Free to list, and asking is free too.

Short a few boxes of this floor? Or sitting on extras?

Always free to ask. Always free to list. Open requests and spare boxes show up side by side on the Match board (40 open right now).
