The Home Depot sold it for garages, basements, workshops and other hard-use rooms. As of 2026-11-05, the FlooringFX color catalog lists it as discontinued (status verified), and the last request we logged for it was in 2015. A repair needs leftover boxes of this same GripStrip product. Copy the label from a carton end, then post it so people holding spare boxes can find you. Short on planks or holding extras?

It sat in the **Allure Commercial** group, one of several GripStrip formats in the Allure family. Halstead New England supplied the Allure range to The Home Depot. Other tread-plate vinyl floors look much the same from above, so check the edges of a loose plank: - **GripStrip edge:** a tacky adhesive strip along the plank edge that bonds to the next plank. Diamond Plate Graphite uses this joint. - **Click edge:** a molded tongue and groove that snaps together. That means a later Allure line or a different brand, not this product. ## Reading the carton **FlooringFX has not yet verified a model number or UPC for Diamond Plate Graphite.** We would rather leave that blank than guess. If you still have a carton, copy the product name, color and every number printed on the end label. The [TrafficMaster carton decoder](https://flooringfx.com/decoder/trafficmaster/) explains where each number sits on the box, and the [decoder home](https://flooringfx.com/decoder/) covers other brands. If you send us a clear photo of the label in the comments, it helps the next person searching for this pattern. ## What it will and won't join The planks float. They stick to each other along the GripStrip edges, not to the subfloor. That is why they could go above, on or below grade over most existing hard floors with little prep. It also limits what you can repair them with: - GripStrip planks do not join click-lock Allure Ultra or LifeProof planks. - A patch inside the room needs more Diamond Plate Graphite, or at least the same GripStrip format. - If no matching boxes turn up, put a transition strip where the old floor meets the new one, usually at a doorway. For more on mixing brands, see [TrafficMaster vs LifeProof vinyl plank](https://flooringfx.com/trafficmaster-vs-lifeproof-vinyl-plank/). The history of the family, including the move from GripStrip to click joints, is in [what replaced TrafficMaster Allure](https://flooringfx.com/what-replaced-trafficmaster-allure/). ## What period listings and owners reported Listings from when it was on sale called it waterproof and resistant to ice, heat and road salt. Those were the seller's claims, not FlooringFX test results. Owners who installed it themselves gave consistent practical notes: - A sharp utility knife cut it cleanly. Tin snips handled tight shapes around pipes. - The floor could be walked on right after install. - Garage and mudroom owners said it stood up to wet boots, salt and pets over the long run. Those hard-use rooms are also where repairs come up most: a dropped tool, a gouge from a jack, or a few planks lifting near the garage door. ## Where leftover boxes turn up Garage installs often left a partial carton behind. Check shelves and rafters in your own garage or basement, and ask a previous owner or the installer if you know who it was. Neighbors who did their garages around the same time are worth asking too. The live page has a long question thread for this pattern (about 169 entries as of 2026-11-05), and people in it sometimes mention spare boxes. When you post, include the box count, whether the cartons are sealed, and your general area. Full boxes of vinyl are heavy, so local pickup is usually the simplest way to get them from one garage to another. ## Match listings as of 2026-11-05 No Diamond Plate Graphite listing was open on the Match board on 2026-11-05. The nearest Allure-family post is [listing #11](https://flooringfx.com/listing/11/): someone *wants* 3 boxes of Allure White Maple (SKU 1001 369 647). That is a different color and won't fix a tread-plate floor. It does show that Allure requests still come in.

Not in the middle of a room. Those are click-lock planks and won't bond to GripStrip edges. Use them only on the far side of a transition strip. ### Is there a model number I can search for? FlooringFX has not verified one yet. Use the numbers on your own carton, and post them so other owners can match against them. ### Where can I read about other TrafficMaster colors? The [TrafficMaster category](https://flooringfx.com/c/trafficmaster/) lists every TrafficMaster pattern FlooringFX covers. **Short a few boxes of this floor?
