You’ve dreamed of gorgeous wood floors forever. However, when you get a quote on real hardwood it always seems to sink your heart. In the meantime, your existing floors are marked, scratched and can no longer be maintained with wild kids and pets running around. You do not want some fake floors that looks like cheaply made ones. You want the wow factor without the scary price tag. That’s exactly why today’s laminate flooring has become the smartest choice for Canadian families. It looks expensive, feels solid underfoot, and laughs at everyday messes. At Barrie Oaks Flooring we help you get the exact high-end look you love for a fraction of what you expected.

Why Modern Laminate Flooring Is Taking Over Canadian Homes

The old laminate from the 90s is gone. Today’s laminate flooring uses high-definition printing and deep embossing so realistic that even flooring pros do double-takes.

Biggest Reasons Families Are Switching:

• Stunning realism: Guests are swearing that it is hardwood or tile.
• Hardly wearable: Scratches by dog nails, toy trucks and high heels.
• Available waterproof products: Kitchen, bathroom, mudroom and basement safe.

Get over a heavy 12 mm plank with an underlay on it and you will not believe it is hollow or cheaply made. It is the ideal mix of the beauty, hardness, and cost.

We take the guesswork out and make it fun.

Hottest Looks Our Customers Can’t Get Enough Of:

• Wide-plank rustic oak: Warm honey tones that make rooms feel bigger.
• Cool grey washed: Modern farmhouse vibe that hides dirt and pet hair.
• Deep espresso walnut: Bold and dramatic for cozy dens or open-concept main floors.
• Hand-scraped heritage styles: Extra texture that feels authentically aged.

Dead-Simple Care That Keeps Laminate Looking Brand New for Decades

One of the best surprises about laminate flooring? Maintenance is basically nothing.

Four Easy Habits That Do the Trick:

• Sweeping: Quick pass once or twice a week.
• Damp mopping: Microfibre mop with a tiny bit of water or laminate cleaner.
• Spills: Wipe immediately no staining ever.
• Furniture protection: Felt pads under legs prevent scratches.

No wax work, no polishing, no refining up, no costly treatments. Families of more than one child and a large dog inform us that their floors still are showroom perfect, half a decade, a decade, a hundred and five years later.

We are the bearers of the most effective cleaners and scratch-repair equipment.
