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. - **TrafficMaster laminate:** for many years made by Shaw Industries for Home Depot. Code formats changed over the years. Examples include **HL704** (Baytown Oak) and **05HDC10065** (Estate Oak). The [TrafficMaster carton decoder](https://flooringfx.com/decoder/trafficmaster/) explains how to read these codes. - **TrafficMaster Allure and Allure Ultra vinyl:** made by Halstead New England. Early Allure planks used GripStrip adhesive edges, and later lines switched to click joints. The two styles do not lock together, so check the edge before buying. - **LifeProof:** Halstead's rigid-core and flexible vinyl, sold at Home Depot from about 2018. If you can't tell LifeProof from Allure, see [TrafficMaster vs. LifeProof vinyl plank](https://flooringfx.com/trafficmaster-vs-lifeproof-vinyl-plank/). - **National brands (Pergo, Shaw and others):** these are not Home Depot exclusives. A discontinued color may still be in stock at another dealer if you search by the exact model number. For more on the TrafficMaster lines specifically, see the [TrafficMaster hub](https://flooringfx.com/c/trafficmaster/). ## Reading the carton end label The end of a Home Depot flooring carton usually shows three things: - **Color name** (for example, Baytown Oak or Saratoga Hickory) - **Model or Internet number**, the most useful search term - **Run code** (production lot), which helps you match shade between batches 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](https://flooringfx.com/decoder/) covers label layouts for other brands too. ## Where leftover Home Depot flooring turns up - **Other homeowners** who bought extra for the same project. Many of them post in the comments on this page or on the Match board. - **Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.** Search by color name and by code, since sellers often type one but not the other. - **Habitat for Humanity ReStores** and building-material liquidators. - **The returns or clearance area at nearby Home Depot stores**, mostly in the weeks right after a color is dropped. ### 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. ## Live Match listings across Home Depot brands These listings were on the Match board as of 2026-11-05: - [Listing #23](https://flooringfx.com/listing/23/): TrafficMaster Baytown Oak, code HL704 (open) - [Listing #36](https://flooringfx.com/listing/36/): Saratoga Hickory, code 34089 (open) - [Listing #11](https://flooringfx.com/listing/11/): Allure White Maple vinyl The FlooringFX color catalog also groups discontinued Home Depot private-label colors and shows how many requests each one has.

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](https://flooringfx.com/decoder/trafficmaster/) 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). [I need / I have](https://flooringfx.com/post/) ### Can't find it?
