Pergo Cherry Blocked Laminate

Pergo Cherry Blocked Laminate — modern flooring photography

Q: About 10 years ago I had installed “Cherry Blocked” Pergo laminate in my kitchen. I am in the midst of redoing my kitchen and need to patch the floor in several places. Can you tell me what color replaces Cherry Blocked, or something similar. I do not need to replace the entire floor, just a few small areas.
A: Pergo no longer has a cherry blocked floor available. Its important to note that over this much time, it will be virtually impossible to find a Pergo laminate which will marry up to your old floor properly. Depending on the damage done to your current floor, it may be possible to repair some planks by using a color-fill type product, but actually replacing a single plank or two in the floor and keep it floating over this much time is impossible.
Should you find a product which looks similar to your current floor, it is likely that the sheen from the finish will be different as well, which can stick out like a sore thumb. Your best bet here might be to take your time and look for a product with similar appearance and then compare a physical sample to your current floor, side-by-side.
Another option, although it is a long shot, would to be try places like Ebay and Craigslist to see if anyone who previously bought the same floor and is now selling off left overs.
