Is there a store that sells discontinued flooring?

Is there a store that specializes in discontinued flooring?

About 4 months ago my daughter had new LVP floor put in the family room and kitchen of her house. About three months ago the kitchen flooded and the floor was damaged.

The exact flooring is discontinued and the original store no longer sells it. There isn't quite enough left over tile to redo kitchen and Daughter really wants both areas to have the same floor.


UPDATE:

This is the back of one of the 'planks'.


Honestly I think the pattern is 'Denali' and I'm not sure if the mfg. or store has a name printed. This is just different than window coverings or fabric or wallpaper that I am fluent in reading labels. Kitchen is about fifty square feet.

    Why don't you tell us all what the brand/name/colorway of the flooring is, and then random internet people will sleuth it out for you.


    Did the flooring store she used discontinue selling the flooring? Or is the flooring itself discontinued? You have to specify what it is and then people can look for it.

    In the meantime, you can post on Nextdoor, Facebook, and whatever social media you have to search for some.

    And it would also be relevant to know how much of it she needs. I mean, it's LVP, it should be somewhat fairly waterproof, right? So did it not hold up or were the conditions so bad that there is no expectation that it would've held?

    One more thing: you stated it's LVP, but then state she doesn't have enough tile. Is it ceramic-tile-shaped, or is it more of wood-look pattern? If all she needs to replace is the kitchen, that shouldn't be too bad to do the kitchen in a different look (Stone in kitchen, LVP wood look in the family room). I might think about that.

    There are stores that specialize in closeouts & mixed lots. Look for "discount" "liquidators" etc.

    I am awaiting more info from Daughter to post here. Floor is 'planks' of faux wood. Long story short---water was dripping out from under sink for two weeks and the new floor didn't stand a chance of not being damaged. The two 'rooms' are really areas of one big room and different floorings would need to be creative to look cohesive.

    This is a fool's errand. Even if you were lucky enough to find the same manufacturer and model, you aren't getting the flooring that was made the day yours was.

    @User But the bright and shiny lights in the pretty store make customers believe otherwise. You & I are going to get along just fine.

    Insurance should pay to redo all the floors since it is one continuous product. That has been our experience.

    I would not file a claim to replace LVP in the kitchen and family room.


    Insurance rates continue to rise for several reasons, and yes increased claims are one of them. It is important to always realize that insurance companies are a for-profit business.

    The question I posted was where to look for discontinued flooring. My daughters choice is what it is.
