Where to Buy Discontinued Pergo Laminate Flooring
Discontinued Pergo laminate flooring for sale usually turns up in three places: the Mohawk Factory Outlet, which sells remaining manufacturer cartons of retired styles, closeout and liquidation sellers, and homeowners or contractors selling leftover boxes. The search goes faster with the exact model number from a carton end, because Pergo has reused similar color names across XP, Outlast+, Max, and older lines.
Where to buy discontinued Pergo laminate
Pergo is a Mohawk brand in the United States, and most Pergo laminate sold at The Home Depot (Pergo XP, Pergo Outlast+) was made by Mohawk. When a color is retired, Home Depot stops carrying it, even though the wider XP or Outlast+ line may continue with other colors. The main channels for retired stock are listed below.
- Mohawk Factory Outlet. The manufacturer’s outlet store lists discontinued styles with remaining cartons, shows current stock counts, and sells first-quality material with the original factory warranty. It also keeps an “out of production and no longer in stock” list covering Pergo, Mohawk, and Home Depot house brands it made, such as LifeProof and Home Decorators Collection. A style on that list has been depleted at the factory level.
- Closeout and liquidation sellers. Flooring liquidators and overstock warehouses buy pallets of discontinued product. Inventory changes week to week, so a call or email with the model number is more useful than browsing.
- Marketplace listings. eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Craigslist regularly carry a few unopened boxes left from someone else’s project. Habitat for Humanity ReStore locations also receive donated flooring, though stock is local and unpredictable.
- Installers and the original retailer. The contractor who laid the floor may have attic stock or records of the exact color and run.
What to check before buying
Pergo carton ends typically print the brand, collection, color name, model number (often a string beginning with LF), thickness, coverage per case, and a lot or run code. The flooring carton label decoder shows where each item usually appears. Before paying for secondhand boxes, confirm the following:
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Model number | Color names repeat between lines; the model string identifies the exact product. |
| Thickness | A 10 mm plank and a 12 mm plank will not sit flush. |
| Plank width and length | Different widths break the stagger pattern and read as a patch. |
| Locking profile | Older Pergo click systems may not lock into newer ones. |
| Attached pad | Pad or no pad changes the finished height. |
| Lot or run code | Shade can drift between production runs of the same color. |
Ask sellers for daylight photos of the plank face, the carton end, and the tongue and groove edge. A box that has been opened may be missing planks or contain damaged ends, so ask for a count.
Identifying an unknown Pergo floor
If no carton survives, pull a plank from a closet or behind an appliance. Some Pergo planks carry printed codes on the back or in the groove. Measure thickness and width, note the surface texture and gloss, and photograph the locking edge. Pergo and TrafficMaster laminate can look alike at a glance; telling Pergo and TrafficMaster laminate apart covers the visible differences. A worked example of a retired XP color, with its model number and specifications, is the entry on Pergo XP Highland Hickory.
When no matching stock exists
Once a style is depleted at the manufacturer and absent from resale listings, the remaining options are blending rather than matching. Common approaches include:
- Moving original planks from a closet or under furniture into the visible repair area, then filling the hidden spot with a close current color.
- Replacing a whole room and installing a transition at the doorway so two different floors meet at a natural break.
- Choosing a current Pergo color in the same species look (oak, hickory, maple) and similar gloss, compared against a real plank rather than a photo.

FAQ
Does Home Depot sell discontinued Pergo colors?
Generally no. Once a color is dropped, it leaves Home Depot’s stock. Any remaining store inventory is usually limited to a few cartons at individual locations, which may show under in-store availability for a short time.
Is Mohawk Factory Outlet stock new?
The outlet describes its discontinued flooring as first-quality remaining manufacturer inventory sold with the original factory warranty.
Can a different Pergo line be mixed with the old floor?
Only if thickness, plank size, and locking system are compatible. Even then, color and texture differences are usually visible, so a doorway or room break is the safer place for a change.
