in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
Just had some laminate flooring removed whilst replacing a fireplace, and need to find some to match. Under one of the panels, it says

37751 ah 1.k. 22.11.06 3 329 06 00:02 Linie 7

Mean anything to anyone?

    My only suggestion to you would be to take a full size board with you to some local independent flooring shops and see if they can identify it.

    Its the manufacturers colour code, manufacturing date, time it came off the production line and which line/ plant it came from.

    Its done for quality control purposes.

    If it was a 2006 manufacturing date, you might struggle to get the same colour or locking system.

    No way I can tell from that the manufacturer?

    Unfortunately, laminate flooring companies drop lines quite frequently, and as "phill99" says they might have changed the colour, locking system and/or board sizes.

    Only if you took it to a supplier and asked them to check their colour codes.

    However, given its age, don't expect to get a match on it.
