TrafficMaster Sonora Maple (model HL1047) is an 8 mm maple-look laminate that was sold under The Home Depot’s TrafficMaster brand. An Amazon listing for the case pack was already marked “Currently unavailable” in a February 2016 archive. The 8 mm thickness is a useful first filter, because many of the better-known TrafficMaster oaks and hickories from the same era are 7 mm. Extra planks for a repair usually have to come from leftover cartons.

Copy HL1047 from the carton end when it is printed. A related Amazon pallet listing used model HL1047-27; treat that as a pallet or case-count variant only if your carton actually shows the -27 suffix. Brand-wide carton layout is in the TrafficMaster carton decoder.

Published specs for model HL1047

The Amazon listing titled “TrafficMASTER Sonora Maple 8mm Thick x 7-11/16 in. Wide x 50-5/8 in. Length Laminate Flooring (21.63 sq. ft./case),” archived 15 February 2016, gives:

• Model / part number: HL1047
• Thickness: 8 mm
• Plank width: 7-11/16 in.
• Plank length: 50-5/8 in.
• Coverage: 21.63 sq. ft. per case
• Color, as written on that listing: brown
• ASIN: B00KQ79KNU
• Date first available on that listing: 23 August 2014

Lock type, edge profile, attached pad, AC rating, warranty, origin and pieces per box were not on the 2016 archive opened for this page. The plank width and length (7-11/16 × 50-5/8 in.) overlap some 7 mm TrafficMaster oaks, including Baytown Oak, so thickness and the HL1047 model string matter more than a tape measure alone.

Source note (as of 2026-11-10): specs, model HL1047 and the “Currently unavailable” status come from the 15 February 2016 Wayback Machine copy of Amazon ASIN B00KQ79KNU. The HL1047-27 pallet string comes from the title and model field of a related Amazon pallet listing (ASIN B00FQ56HA6).

How to tell Sonora Maple from nearby maples and oaks

If original boxes survive, HL1047 or the printed name “Sonora Maple” is the check that matters. Without packaging, measure thickness first. An 8 mm plank will not click reliably into a 7 mm floor, even when the maple or oak photo looks close. Then compare color in daylight and inspect the locking profile on a loose plank or transition piece.

Names that will not match HL1047 include Warm Maple (commenters have quoted U5496, which this page has not independently verified), Blonde Maple, and any “maple” Allure or LifeProof vinyl. Baytown Oak HL704 can share a similar plank footprint but is a 7 mm oak, not an 8 mm maple. Harmonics maple colors from Costco are a different brand strip.

Why the 8 mm thickness matters on a repair

Several popular TrafficMaster oaks of the mid-2010s used a 7 mm plank that is about 7-11/16 in. wide and 50-5/8 in. long. Sonora Maple uses that same footprint, then adds a full millimetre of thickness. If you only measure width and length, a leftover Baytown Oak or a similar 7 mm oak can look like a candidate. It will not sit flush, and the locking profile is not something this page can promise will close on an 8 mm joint.

When you photograph a carton or a loose plank to post on the Match board, include a ruler against the thickness edge, not just the face. If the carton no longer exists, a closet plank or a cut-off from installation is the next best sample. Do not rely on a listing photo zoomed on grain alone.

The case coverage of 21.63 sq. ft. is also a little lower than many 7 mm TrafficMaster boxes in the mid-20s. That figure is useful when a seller quotes “a full box” without a model string: if the coverage on the carton end is 21.63, it is consistent with HL1047, though you should still read the model line before you pay.

Where leftover boxes turn up

Sonora Maple sits in FlooringFX’s 50 to 99 request bucket. Search classifieds and reuse centers under Sonora Maple, HL1047 and, if it is on your carton, HL1047-27. 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 before you pay.

If an exact match never shows up

• Look for another 8 mm laminate in a medium brown maple visual, then compare a loose plank for width, length and the locking joint. A 7 mm “close” maple is not a drop-in repair inside an 8 mm floor.
• 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.
