Northernest Hardwood & Laminate Flooring

For anyone shopping real wood, Northernest is one of the strongest values we carry — here's why:

• Canadian-built and climate-ready — engineered for Ontario's humidity and temperature swings.
• One of our deepest real-hardwood selections — 70 engineered and 18 solid options in white oak, red oak, maple, and hickory.
• Real 7½" wide-plank European oak from under $5/sqft — genuinely hard to beat for the quality.
• Both installation systems — traditional tongue-and-groove for glue/nail-down, plus click-lock for faster, lower-cost installs.
• Solid ¾" options that sand and refinish for decades — the buy-it-once floor.

What really sets Northernest apart is that range: whether you want a fast-installing click floor or a lifetime nail-down solid, you stay in one trusted brand 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.
