What they say
We looked at a few different hardwood flooring manufacturers, but nothing compared to the organic look and quality that Northern Wide Plank embodied. The fact that the planks are free from harsh chemicals was important to us. We also love how Northern Wide Plank floors combine natural aesthetics with practicality. The ability to re-oil our floors to keep them looking fresh, effortlessly removing stains, and the ability to spot repair gives us peace of mind and ensures our home always looks its best. We also love Antonio the plank smith.

We sat down with designer Jane Lockhart, Principal Designer at Jane Lockhart Design to discuss a custom-built home project located north of Toronto, in King City, Ontario. This home is a sprawling 12,000 square feet, with soaring ceiling heights ranging from 12-14 feet, along with Northern Wide Plank European Oak wide hardwood floors, in both plank and herringbone format.
Northern Wide Plank really delivered on what we were looking for. Not only is it durable and North American made, it has a very authentic look. In the end it doesn't just come down to aesthetics, it comes down to sustainability, which their product definitely is, comfortability, durability, have lastability, and really add that sense of warmth, which is really what we were trying to achieve. It really is a wonderful product that complemented the space.

We sat down with homeowner John Gonzalez, to share his remarkable journey of resilience and the rebuilding of his home in the aftermath of the devastating 2018 Woolsey fire that burned down his home in Malibu, California.
With a commitment to safeguarding against future calamities, John and Jennifer prioritized fire-resistant materials for the exterior of their new home, ensuring they would do what they could, so they never have to go through this again. To contrast the large amount of steel throughout, and to bring warmth to their new home, they turned to Northern Wide Plank to feature their natural hardwood flooring materials throughout the interior of their home.

The product Northern Wide Plank manufactures is really exceptional. I would confidently say it is better than solid wood. In our first house, we had solid hickory wood in the great area. Solid hickory or any solid species is really beautiful, but the problem is, when it is dry, moist, or when it is exposed to the sun, there’s a lot of contraction and expansion–so it can split or crack. The beautiful thing about engineered products from Northern Wide Plank, is that the strong and multiple layers of wood are bonded onto a ¼” (6mm) veneer of real wood, so it is incredibly stable. I cannot say it does not change, but it does change a lot less than solid wood. The product is phenomenal.

Our Northern Wide Plank flooring is extraordinary, and it is the greatest single choice we made when building our new home. It has elevated our home and given us so much pride and joy. Our decision to go with Northern Wide Plank has never been second guessed, and we would make the same decision over and over again.

We looked at several brands of flooring products, but after seeing the quality of the Northern Wide Plank samples, this cemented the decision for our client to continue with NWP. Their European oak’s richness in colour and grain stood out from all the other products we looked at. The product we went with, Greyson European oak was integral to our project’s aesthetic vision and commitment to functionality. We wanted a durable wood flooring that could handle lots of activity in the house - both in the summer and winter.

Our vision was set on wide planks, and we love the look and feel of 7” width of Northern Wide Plank floors. We looked at doing site-finished solid hardwood, but due to the size limitations with solid, we had to go with an engineered hardwood, so it was a no-brainer to go with Northern Wide Plank. We also love the fact we can also source the vents, stair treads and nosing from them, all in one matching species and finish, creating a seamless design and making life much simpler.
Nikki Holt, Kimberly Timmons Interiors (KTI)
There are several reasons why we source Northern Wide Plank (NWP) for our projects. I have known about NWP for quite some time and love their products. Once we brought our client to the NWP showroom and they saw the quality, the beauty, and the versatility of their products, it was a win. It was also important to have the ability to integrate their flooring with their stairs, so they could match these elements for seamless design, which further cemented our decision to go with Northern Wide Plank for this project.

We are confident, New Haven will age beautifully, weather the island elements, and remain a centerpiece of our island home for years to come.

One of the major benefits to Northern Wide Plank’s prefinished UV cured hardwax oil floors is that they are completely free of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), ensuring a healthy environment for our family. The finish also makes the floor minimal maintenance when compared to other natural hardwood floors we’ve seen.

Denis Fleury, Professional Interior Designer, Environmental Space Planning, briefly chats about how they went about sourcing reclaimed wood for their client's new office in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
We were looking for a wide plank, natural oak floor that was just the right amount of texture, knots, and warmth, with a touch of modernity. Tundra from the Wixom collection offered all of that.
Kristen Ekeland, Studio Gild
Choosing Northern Wide Plank flooring for our cottage was a natural decision for us. We had previously used Northern Wide Plank flooring for our home renovation, and we were impressed by the quality of their product. We built this cottage to stand the test of time and drew elements from its surroundings. The flooring was a big part of that concept.

A builder named Austin Builder who we have a trusted relationship with, recommended Northern Wide Plank for a project we worked on in the Kawartha lakes. Once we saw Northern Wide Plank’s samples for ourselves, with their natural texture, and appearance, and a very thick 6mm wear layer, we knew that NWP was the only choice.
Joanne Dolan, Joanne Dolan Design
We looked at other engineered floors and kept coming back to NWP. After using them on a project, I selected NWP for my own home renovation and could not be happier.

The confluence of natural elements made the choice of flooring pivotal for our project. With its burnished brown tonality and rough-hewn bandsaw markings, Eldorado North American White Oak Planks were considered the Coup De Coeur or "Heart Stroke"

We wanted to use as many North American-made products as possible for our home. And Canadian made is even better. Northern Wide Plank’s reclaimed oak Wolf Creek flooring fit right in with our theme of Canadian craftsmanship excellence.
