Style Selections vs LifeProof (Lowe’s house brand vs Home Depot)

Verified from FlooringFX hubs only: Lowe’s Style Selections / allen + roth (351), LifeProof colors (272), LP vs TM thickness (396 — LP mil notes only), name collisions (404), carton decoder (274) · example Guides SSPL700 / SSPL500 / AR306 / AR137 / Whitewash 421860 / Winsome 773324 · Fresh Oak I96711L vs I96711LP / Seasoned Wood I114813L · no invented mils, SKUs, or ownership · last updated 2026-10-28

Style Selections and allen + roth are Lowe’s house-brand strips (hub 351). LifeProof is a Home Depot private-label vinyl strip (hub 272). Leftover boxes get confused because oak, hickory, maple, and cherry color words reuse across both channels. Color names alone are not enough: the carton brand strip must match, and the floors are different families even when a shared manufacturing path appears for some house brands.

This page is a citeable channel comparison using only facts already published on FlooringFX hubs.

No thickness, wear-layer, or plank-size numbers are invented for Lowe’s rows here. LifeProof mil figures above are only those already published on hubs 272/396 and the Fresh Oak Guide. Copy measurements from your carton end or from a citeable Guide.

Same color name ≠ same floor. Oak / hickory / maple / cherry words reuse across Lowe’s house brands and Home Depot LifeProof. FlooringFX’s name-collisions hub treats brand strip + model as the hard filter — not marketing words alone. See flooring name collisions. Hub 351 states plainly that depleted-list rows do not make Harmonics, LifeProof, or TrafficMaster interchangeable with Style Selections. Hub 272 states TrafficMaster Allure Ultra, GripStrip, Harmonics, and Style Selections are different families even when oak/cherry words match.

How to tell them apart on the carton

  1. Read the brand strip first: Style Selections or allen + roth (Lowe’s) vs LifeProof (Home Depot). Color words alone fail this gate.
  2. Copy any printed model / item / I-code as plain text. Lowe’s dual-ID examples already guided: SSPL700, SSPL500, AR306, AR137, Whitewash 421860, Winsome 773324. LifeProof examples: Fresh Oak I96711L/I96711LP, Seasoned Wood I114813L.
  3. On LifeProof cartons, close-up the mil line when the same color name exists on 6 mil and 22 mil builds (Fresh Oak is the documented trap).
  4. Marcona Hickory, Ginger Hickory, and Barrel Hickory stay single-mark / depleted-list rows on hub 351 — no dedicated Guides invented for them here.
  5. Photograph the full carton end in daylight before buying leftovers or posting a Match listing. Field map: carton-end label decoder. Shot list: photograph the carton for Match.
