Laminate flooring - alomst finished but floor discontinued - help!

We purchased our Ikea Tundra flooring several months before we actually got around to installing it. We were finisheing the last room when we ran out (only need 3 boxes.) Our color has been discontinued. We searched and the only leftover boxes we could find for sale online were in Denmark! Does anyone konw of another brand whose snap together design is compatible with Ikea so that we can finish?? I have read that Pergo makes the Ikea Tundra floring. Are other Pergo brands copatible with Tundra? We don't want to rip everything out and start over with a new brand. Please help!

Sorry I don't know about compatible tiles, however I have another suggestion. If you can't get a match, why don't you lift most of the floor in the last room, get a contrasting colour, and frame it with the Tundra flooring. If the room is very big you could get more than one colour. Start with a slightly darker or lighter colour at the edges and graduate the colours until you reach the centre. Good luck.

The same thing is happing to us. We installed it and had a water leak from the kitchen. We didn't even know until the tile began warping. Ikea has the light version and the dark version of the Tundra tile, but not our honey colored version. I think we will have to rip the whole thing out and start over. I will be sure to purchase 3 extra boxes for safe keeping in the garage. If the quality of the floor is suppose to last for years, why doesn't the ability to purchase the floor.

solution

My boyfriend and I never got around to buying the Tundra Antique finish. We saw an add in our local Ikea (Conshohocken, PA) on sale for $.49/sq ft. Anyway, if you take out your floor and it happens to be the antique oak, maybe we can buy it from you if it isnt damaged and you can buy a new floor? Just a thought.. D

You will probably have

You will probably have solved this by now but: ebay, ebay, ebay. We found some packages of a discontinued laminate (not Ikea) that someone had left over on ebay. It was just enough to finish our project.
