Superior quality
Manufactured with the greatest care by a team that combines a passion for
wood with state-of-the-art technology, Mirage floors are built to last and leave
a lasting impression. With their warm and rich character, Mirage prefinished
hardwood floors truly reveal the lasting trend.
Absolutely nothing compares to Mirage hardwood floors.
Strips feature standard tongue and groove edges, and grooves
at both ends. The fixed strip length permits the creation of a multitude
of symmetrical patterns. Give way to your imagination!
Herringbone series strips are 2-9/16” [65 mm] in width, and available
in 13-3/4” [350 mm] or 17-7/8” [455 mm] fixed lengths, in four species

Manufacturing
quality
The superiority of Mirage flooring is due
to its exclusive P7 manufacturing process,
an extremely thorough process. Rigorous
quality control during the entire manufacturing
process guarantees that you will get the
highest quality for every strip in every box.
An exclusive Mirage innovation, Nanolinx™ is the first finishing system to use
nanotechnology with infinitely small, cross-linked nano particles. These particles make the finish more transparent than ever, so all the natural beauty of
wood can shine through. Offering superior flexibility and durability, and an
hypoallergenic and healthy finish that dirt can’t lay a finger on, Nanolinx™ is
up to 5 times more wear resistant than most other finishes on the market.
Plus added UV protection for some natural wood species delays and
reduces most of the sunshading phenomenon that causes wood to darken
and yellow over time. Semi-gloss or Cashmere.

A promising
innovative product
Mirage Engineered flooring technology is a revolutionary
step toward hardwood optimization, using 4 times less
hardwood than the conventional 3/4” [19 mm] solid strip
to cover the same floor surface.
Recommended

All strips are made of a dry sawn
hardwood layer 5/32” [4 mm].

Perfect tongue
and groove fit
Tongues and grooves are perfectly
adjusted on all 4 sides of the strip.
This ensures remarkable uniformity
and facilitates easy installation.
The micron-V joint, on all 4 sides
of the strips, is the smallest and
most uniform eased edge in
the industry. It offers a great look
and superior performance.
Flexibility
Scored strip backing ensures
enhanced flexibility and improves
glue adherence.
Length
Wear layer
Each box contains 5 assorted lengths
for the same appearance
as 3/4” solid hardwood.
The hardwood wear layer of Mirage Engineered products
is comparable to a 3/4” solid product. It can be sanded
3 to 5 times, for a real lifetime investment!

Dare…
We believe that your satisfaction
depends on two basic principles:
Be proud of your floor
from every angle.
Choosing a hardwood floor is an important, long-term decision.

A box of 2-9/16” strips covers 20 ft2 [1.858 m2]. A box of 3-5/16” or 5” planks covers 25 ft2 [2.323 m2].
* Herringbone series: A box of 13-3/4” [350 mm] strips covers 17.63 ft2 [1.638 m2].
A box of 17-7/8” [455 mm] strips covers 15.28 ft2 [1.420 m2].
* Brazilian Cherry [Jatoba] may present a range of
hues – from yellowish to reddish brown – and white
mineral deposits may appear as the floor ages.
Due to its specific physical properties, Brazilian
Cherry [Jatoba] must not be installed on subfloors

To be proud of your floor, dare to mix and match species,
stains and widths for an innovative new look.
Experiment with different strip layouts to enhance
your interior decor. The design potential is endless.
Have peace of mind
for years to come.
Only a superior quality product can give you this satisfaction.
To evaluate the quality of a floor, you must look further
than its general appearance. Even the smallest details
must be taken into consideration. Every step counts!
There is more...
You should be able to count on a competent dealer, not only
to advise you when making your purchase, but also to help you
during installation and to provide after-sale service.

A printed picture does not allow a perfect reproduction of samples.
We suggest choosing your hardwood floor directly from a sizeable sample.
Environment is a major priority for
hardwood flooring manufacturer Mirage.
Given the need to protect the supply
of raw materials, Mirage financially
supports a number of organizations
that specialize in hardwood reforestation.
