TrafficMaster Lakeshore Pecan Laminate: Identification, Leftover Stock, and Alternatives

2026-10-15 · discontinued-flooring

TrafficMaster Lakeshore Pecan is a laminate flooring pattern sold under The Home Depot’s TrafficMaster brand. It is a medium-toned, traditional wood-look plank that was installed widely in homes. The original product is no longer offered by the retailer, and homeowners who need extra planks for repairs or additions usually have to find leftover stock.

Pattern Guide: TrafficMaster Lakeshore Pecan 35947 (model / item ID hub · Stone 50560 collision · Match CTAs).

Background

TrafficMaster is a private-label flooring brand sold through The Home Depot. Its laminate lines cover a range of wood visuals at entry-level prices. Lakeshore Pecan was one of these visuals, styled after pecan wood with a medium color and traditional grain.

A flooring retailer listing for the product (item number 1000054932, model 35947) shows its reorder status as “Unavailable.” Sellers of leftover boxes have described it as discontinued since at least 2023. The Home Depot later sold a product named Lakeshore Pecan Stone (model 50560). Despite the similar name, it is a different color: the retailer describes it as a tan base with grey overtones, and lists it under a silver color family.

Specifications

Published listings for the original Lakeshore Pecan (model 35947) give the following details:

• Thickness: 7 mm
• Plank width: 7.64 in.
• Plank length: 50.63 in.
• Pieces per box: 9
• Coverage: 24.17 sq. ft. per box
• Box weight: about 29 lb.
• AC rating: AC3
• Water resistant: no
• Attached pad: no
• Country of origin: Germany
• Warranty: 15 years

Lakeshore Pecan Stone uses the same plank size and box size (7 mm by 7.64 in. by 50-5/8 in., 9 planks, 24.17 sq. ft.). Because the dimensions match, people sometimes confuse the two products. The color difference is usually easy to see once planks are placed next to each other.

Identifying the floor

If the original boxes or receipt are still available, the model number 35947 or the product name printed on the carton is the most reliable way to confirm the pattern. Without packaging, the following checks can help:

• Measure a loose plank or a threshold piece. Planks should be about 7 mm thick and about 7.64 in. wide.
• Compare the color. The original is a medium pecan tone, with no clear grey cast.
• Look at the back of a plank, which may be printed with manufacturing codes.
• Check the locking profile. Replacement planks need the same joint system to click into an existing floor.

Taking a plank to a store or photographing it in daylight next to a sample makes comparisons more accurate than relying on product photos online.

Finding leftover stock

After a product is discontinued, remaining boxes are usually held by homeowners, contractors, and small resellers. Common sources include:

• Local classified listings and online marketplaces, where people sell extra boxes after a project.
• Community forums and neighborhood groups. Requests for this pattern have appeared on regional discussion boards.
• Independent flooring stores and liquidators that buy closeout inventory.
• Building material reuse centers.
• Request-matching services such as FlooringFX, where a user posts the pattern and quantity needed and is matched with people holding leftover stock.

When buying from a private seller, check that boxes are sealed or that planks are undamaged, and confirm the model number where possible. Laminate from different production runs can vary slightly in shade, so it is useful to inspect a plank before buying a large quantity.

Alternatives

If no matching stock can be found, there are several options:

• Similar wood-look laminates. Look for 7 mm laminate in a medium, traditional pecan or hickory visual. Bring an existing plank to compare color and grain.
• Transition strips. Installing a different floor in an adjoining room, separated by a threshold or T-molding, avoids the need for an exact match.
• Borrowing planks. Planks can be taken from a closet or an area under furniture to repair a visible area, with the hidden area refilled using a close alternative.

Lakeshore Pecan Stone shares the plank dimensions but not the color, so it is generally not a direct replacement within one continuous floor.
