FAQ Category: Product & Material

Can I get samples before buying?

Absolutely. You can request samples through our retailers or directly from our website to see colors and textures in your own lighting.

Do wood grades affect durability?

No. Grades only determine visual characteristics like knots and color variation — not strength or performance. Every grade we offer meets the same durability standards.

Are Northenest floors made in Canada?

Yes. All our flooring is proudly manufactured and finished in Canada following rigorous quality and environmental standards.

What’s the difference between engineered and solid hardwood?

Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood, while engineered hardwood has multiple layers for enhanced stability. Engineered floors perform better in varying humidity and are ideal for condos, basements, and radiant heat installations.

What types of hardwood does Northenest offer?

We offer a wide range of engineered, solid, Laminate, and vinyl flooring, available in various species such as oak, maple, and hickory. Each collection is crafted for beauty, stability, and long-term durability.
