Northernest Hardwood & Laminate Flooring

Northernest is a hardwood-focused brand — 70 engineered and 18 solid hardwood options across white oak, red oak, maple, and hickory. If you're shopping for real wood flooring, they're one of the deepest selections we carry.

What sets Northernest apart is their range of installation systems. They offer both traditional tongue-and-groove (for glue-down and nail-down installs) and click-lock systems — which means faster installation and lower labour costs without sacrificing the look or feel of real hardwood.

The bulk of the Northernest collection is engineered hardwood. 7½" wide-plank European oak is their flagship, but you'll also find hickory for high-traffic areas, maple for a cleaner aesthetic, and click-system options for DIY-friendly installation.

Prices range from $3.99 to $7.49/sqft — the upper end being their premium European oak wide planks with hand-scraped or wire-brushed finishes. The sub-$5 options are genuinely hard to beat for the quality you're getting.

For purists who want ¾" solid hardwood, Northernest offers red oak, white oak, hickory, and maple. These are nail-down over plywood subfloor — the classic installation method that's been proven for decades.

Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifetime, making it a genuine buy-it-once investment. It's the right choice for main floors and living areas where you want permanence.

Northernest's laminate line is 12mm European-made — thicker and denser than the typical 8mm options at big box stores. At $3.19/sqft, it's a strong value play for bedrooms, home offices, or rental properties where you want great looks without the hardwood price tag.
