TrafficMaster Distressed Brown Hickory (model 34074SQ, Home Depot Internet 204068076, store SKU 1000005338) is a 12 mm, medium-width hickory-look laminate that The Home Depot sold under the TrafficMaster brand. A 23 August 2025 archive of the Home Depot product page still loaded a full specification list, but it listed the item as store-only and not buyable online. A question on that same page said the floor had been discontinued by The Home Depot, with any remaining material depending on store stock. This page treats regular national restock as unconfirmed, and leftover cartons as the practical source for a repair.

The model number is easy to mix up with Saratoga Hickory 34089. Those are different products. Copy 34074SQ, 204068076 and 1000005338 from the carton end. Brand-wide carton layout is in the TrafficMaster carton decoder.

The same archive’s product schema also printed a 4.55 lb weight, which does not match the 31.88 lb case weight. This page uses the case figure from the specification bullets and does not treat 4.55 lb as a carton weight.

Source note (as of 2026-11-10): identifiers, specs, the store-only / not-buyable-online flags, and the on-page question about discontinuation come from the 23 August 2025 Wayback Machine copy of The Home Depot page ending in /204068076. A live fetch of that URL was blocked (HTTP 403) from this draft environment, so current store stock was not rechecked by a fresh Home Depot fetch.

How 34074SQ differs from other TrafficMaster hickories

Two identification points save people from buying the wrong box. First, 34074SQ is 12 mm thick with a 6.26 in. beveled plank and only 15.45 sq. ft. in a 7-plank carton. Saratoga Hickory 34089 is a different model, and New Ellenton Hickory is a 7 mm, 3-strip, square-edge floor in a 26.8 sq. ft. carton. Second, the AC4 rating and the 30-year residential warranty printed on the 2025 Home Depot page are unusual next to many older TrafficMaster laminates that were listed as AC3 with a 15-year warranty. Those figures are identification clues, not a reason to mix cartons.

The product copy also says the floor has no water protection. A click-lock 12 mm laminate can still fail around moisture, which is consistent with owner reviews on that same archived page describing lifting after a wet installation. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the subfloor and underlayment; this page is not installation advice.

What will not match model 34074SQ

• Saratoga Hickory 34089, Alameda Hickory, or any other “hickory” TrafficMaster whose carton does not show 34074SQ.
• New Ellenton Hickory, which is 7 mm and uses a 3-strip visual.
• Raintree Acacia, which is also 12 mm but a narrow 4.96 in. acacia plank with a different model.
• Allure Ultra, GripStrip Allure, and LifeProof vinyl.
• Harmonics or other warehouse-club cartons whose brand strip does not say TrafficMaster.

Where leftover boxes turn up

Search classifieds, reuse centers and, if you want to follow the 2025 Home Depot note, local store leftover stock under Distressed Brown Hickory, 34074SQ, 204068076 and 1000005338. Post a free request, or list spare boxes, on the Match board via I need / I have. As of 2026-11-10 there was no open FlooringFX listing that named this color. Confirm the model on the carton end and compare shade in daylight.

If an exact match never shows up

• Look for another 12 mm, beveled, medium-width hickory laminate, then compare a loose plank for width, thickness and the locking joint. A 7 mm hickory is not a drop-in repair.
• Change floors at a doorway with a transition strip.
• Move original planks from a closet or under furniture into the visible repair, and fill the hidden area with a close alternative.
