Mirage Hardwood Floors


Our view on Mirage Hardwood Floors has always been extremely favorable. If there's a Cadillac of hardwood flooring this company would be fighting for the top slot. One may wonder, why not a five star rating? Mirage produces some of the best milled hardwoods in the world, but what sets it back is the use of shorter material in their engineered and solid hardwood lines. Granted there have been improvements going back to their pre 2003 product line but we're always seeking out long length material. Aside of a few minor shortcomings, the overall appearances of their floors after installation is near perfection.

We have noted some ambiguous information within their engineered specifications some should be aware of. Their belief the product can be sanded three to five times may not be realistic. Mentioned numerous times on our site regarding the sanding of engineered floors, one must have near perfect conditions and extremely knowledgeable finishers to accomplish even three sandings.

Mirage does not have individual product line names. Rather they offer descriptions in the likes of Red Oak Auburn as an example. Exceptions being their Elegant and Sweet Memories line. The latter features a smooth rustic grade appearance. Numerous stain selections in both engineered and solid can be found including the fading white look popular in the eighties.

Finding a herringbone hardwood has always been elusive with prefinished manufacturers but Mirage can satisfy your cravings in several different species in an engineered format.

If there was a most valuable product award when it comes to a lock and fold type floor, Mirage would win hands down due to the ease of installation. You may want to forget those other guys you see at the big box stores but don't expect prices to be as low.
