It’s about family.
Why is family so important to the Twelve Oaks story? Because it’s at the heart of who we are. While we’ve grown into a leading North American designer and distributor of top-quality flooring products—with facilities, sales offices, and a dedicated team across Canada and the U.S.—we’ve proudly remained 100% Canadian owned and operated, and family run since day one. For over 20 years, those values of trust, care, and commitment have shaped how we do business and how we support our partners.
Our Founders
Our founders, Trevor and Aileen, chose to put down roots in Canada for the opportunities it offered their family and their business. And they used their deeply held family values as a guiding light for the new venture.
Our People
We’re proud of our teams, many of whom have been part our working family for a long time. They help us live up to the inspiration of our name, and shape our company spirit and corporate culture. They do so by setting an excellent example in their approach to their work and dedication to meeting our clients’ needs.
Our Products
What sets our products apart from the rest? We listen. We listen to our customers. We listen to the problems they have, and we listen to their vision of the perfect solution. In that way, our product development is customer-driven to meet their needs for quality, aesthetics, features, durability, warranty and price.
We Give Back
Our involvement in the local community includes donations and fundraising efforts to support Canadian charities and organizations, including the Mackenzie Health Foundation in their support of our frontline healthcare workers and their families.
Our Name
Inspired by the novel “Gone With the Wind”, the Twelve Oaks name also reflects our family and corporate values. Twelve Oaks is the Wilkes family home, signified by 12 oak trees circling the entrance. At the end of the movie, most things have perished in the Civil War, but those 12 oak trees are still standing.
We believe the name symbolizes the power of the human will and tenacity to persevere in the face of adversity, to pull together to reach their goals—and that reflects our brand and corporate culture.
A Local Company - A Global Perspective
Like every family, we believe home matters. As a 100% Canadian owned and operated company, we take pride in buying locally and supporting the communities where our customers live and work. At the same time, we bring a global perspective—sourcing sustainably produced flooring materials from around the world to ensure our customers have access to the best in quality, value, and design. Our commitment is to deliver exceptional flooring, while staying true to our Canadian roots and global standards.
