Passion for Home – Bestlaminate Blog
New flooring is one of the best ways to add style to your home. Manufacturers are always updating their collections to be up to date with the current styles and trends, and unfortunately this means that floors from the past are sometimes discontinued. Often, we have situations where customers have damage or want to extend their flooring project, only to find out that their flooring has been discontinued.
What should I do when my flooring is discontinued?
If your flooring is discontinued, we recommend doing the following.
- Identify all the original details of your flooring including the manufacturer’s name, the flooring color name and model number.
- Call the store where you originally purchased the floor. Although it may not be listed as available online or in store, there may still be remaining stock in their warehouse or at the distributor.
- Search online for the exact flooring. It is possible that another retailer still has remaining stock of the discontinued product.
- Check selling platforms such as eBay, Craigslist, Angie’s List, and others. Sometimes, homeowners will post and sell extra boxes of flooring that they no longer need.
If you find a store that has several boxes left in stock, consider buying a few extra boxes so that you will have it available in the event that you would ever need it again. At Bestlaminate, we occasionally have flooring that is discontinued leftover for really great prices in our Remnants section!
I can’t find the discontinued flooring anywhere.What should I do?
If you cannot find the discontinued flooring, here is what we recommend.
- Use the flooring you already have. Do you have the flooring installed in any small closets, a pantry or extra room? You can pull the flooring from these areas to replace any damaged flooring in the main area of your home. By pulling from another area you can preserve the main living space and then focus on a solution for that closet or bedroom. Installing a floor that is a complimenting color in the closet won’t be very noticeable!
- Find a complimenting floor. Here at Bestlaminate, we often help customers find floors that compliment each other well. For example, if you have white flooring in your living room, a grey floor could look nice in an adjacent room. Feel free to mail a swatch of your flooring to our Sample Department, and we will be happy to send you samples of flooring that we have in stock that would compliment what you already have.
- Be careful with matching. Even if you find a floor that is a very close match in color, you have to be mindful of plank width, lengths and thickness.
If you are looking for a discontinued floor, please give us a call at 1-800-520-0961 for assistance! We are happy to double check our stock and sources.
I am looking for Congoleum Confetti White Alternatives VCT title. A-75.
Hi Kevin, we do not sell this type of flooring. In most cases, your best bet is to find a close match!
I am looking for Armstrong Hitching Post EAS506
Hi Nish, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we do not have any of this product nor does our distributor. The best bet would be to find a close match, or check some personal selling websites like Facebook, Ebay or Craigslist.
Hi Alana, I chatted with your customer server prior to seeing this and they stated that you did have it in stock. Which is correct? Thank you
Hi Nish, I am not sure who you chatted with, but I checked our inventory and our distributor and no stock is available.
I just wanted to provide an update. I spoke with Tyler in your customer service and he verified that your distributor did have a limited stock of the flooring that I needed. It arrived today and it is in fact the correct flooring. Customer service stated they were listed as HAREAS-506, though the boxes had just EAS-506 on them. I’m guessing HAR was for hardwood. Everyone I worked with during the purchase and delivery process were extremely helpful and professional. As it would have been too expensive for me to replace the initial flooring had I not been able to locate this flooring, I am extremely grateful that it was in fact available. I just hope that the disconnect between where you are performing your lookups and theirs is resolved so that there is a more consistent and accurate reflection of what is in stock. In the meantime, I would suggest that others follow-up with a call to verify.
Hi Nish, I apologize for the confusion. I was using the distributor website, which stated it was out of stock. I am glad Tyler was able to call and locate some boxes for you! Best of luck with your project.
Any chance you have a box of Armstrong L0016 laminate flooring?
Hi Debra, thanks for reaching out. We do not have any boxes of L0016. Your best bet will probably be to find a close match. We’d be happy to look through our inventory to see if we have anything close! Just let us know. Thanks!
Hi,
I sure hope you have some advice on how to locate a box or two of Harmonics Vineyard Cherry laminate flooring. It was sold by Costco, item #559852. We need to repair some water damage and Harmonics no longer carries this color.
Hi Rob, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we do not have any Costco brand floors here. Your best would probably be to find a close match. I’d be happy to in our inventory to see we if have anything close!
Hi Alana, thanks for responding. How would I (or Best Laminate) go about determining a close match?
Hi Rob! I will take a look at the images provided online for this floor and check our inventory for cherry floors. I will send you an email tomorrow with close matches and you can order a free sample to compare with your floors at home!
That’s awesome. Thanks!

Hi I am looking for traditional living
Washington oak #LF000182
Hi Angela, thanks for reaching out. This is not a product we have in our warehouse. Our best recommendation would be to check Craigslist or Ebay to see if anyone is selling the type of flooring you need.
I had my kitchen remodeled and several pieces of the laminate flooring were damaged. Now my problem is that the new planks that were installed are free of any dirt or cleaning products so they stand out. I’m annoyed, to say the least, because the company that installed the cabinets, screwed up but are not taking responsibility for their errors. Is there always going to be a difference in the new and old pieces? If not, is there any way to hurry up the process of “aging” the new planks?
Hi Jill – I am wondering what you mean by “free of any dirt or cleaning products”. What type of cleaning products are you using on your floors? Some cleaners can cause a build up or waxy substance on your laminate, which will trap dirt and scratches making it appear that your laminate has “aged”, when really there is a top-coat left by cleaner residue.
We would recommend trying to clean away that top coat, so your floor matches the new planks rather than the other way around. Try mopping with a solution of 1 tablespoon of Dawn dish soap + 1/4 cup of vinegar for every 1 gallon of warm water. Dampen, do not saturate, your mop and go over your entire room where the planks are. Repeat as needed until you notice a difference. This should clean up cleaner residue!
Trying to locate 2-3 boxes of Wilsonart Estate Plus Plank Hawaiian Bamboo laminate…do not have any model numbers to share…any chance you could help us location this?
P.S. I have three pieces left, if that would help
Hi Peter – Unfortunately, we do not stock this flooring. We would recommend contacting Wilsonart to see if they have an outlet store or any remnant boxes available. Alternatively, you can see if anyone is selling any boxes on eBay, Craigslist, or other person-to-person selling platforms.
Depending on how many boxes you need, you could send us your remnant planks so we could try to find a color match from our own inventory. You would then use a transition piece to hide the difference. Give us a call at 800-520-0961 or email us at support@bestlaminate.com so we can assist you further.

I need several boxes of Pergo Rustic Chestnut 8mm Laminate or as close as I can get . I tried Lowes were I bought my flooring from . No uses , Ebay . Home Depot . Amazon . Any other ideas ?
Sorry to hear you’re having such a difficult time finding the floor you need, Evelyn. With discontinued floors, it’s best to try social selling platforms such as eBay or Craigslist. Since the manufacturer of the floor is no longer making this floor, the best chance of finding the floor you need will be from people who have leftover boxes from an old project who no longer need it. Hopefully you’re able to have some luck!
I am desperate to locate replacement Laminate flooring for part of my home!
I am looking for –
Pergo Max 7.61-in W x 3.96-ft L Burnished Fruitwood Wood Plank Laminate Flooring
Item # 39489 Model # LF000198
I hope you can help!
Thank you.
Hi Bill – Unfortunately, we do not carry this exact floor. Depending on how much you need to replace, you could consider purchasing a floor that looks very similar and re-finishing the damaged room with a new floor. You can send us pictures of your flooring to support@bestlaminate.com and we can do our best to find a suitable blend. You can then use a transition molding, such as a t-molding in a doorway to mask the difference in the flooring.
If you are set on looking for the exact flooring, however. We would recommend searching eBay or other community selling platforms to see if there is someone trying to sell off extra boxes they might have left over from a previous project. Good luck and let us know if we can help you!
