SOLID HARDWOOD FLOORS CRAFTED FOR LASTING PERFORMANCE
Solid hardwood flooring offers classic craftsmanship with unmatched authenticity. Each plank is cut from a single piece of wood, kiln-dried to remove moisture and prevent warping, then precision-milled into consistent, high-quality floorboards. The result: genuine hardwood flooring made from responsibly harvested wood, supporting sustainable forest management.
While the structure of solid hardwood may be straightforward, Mirage Floors proposes innovations: additional attributes that help extend the beauty and longevity of your prefinished floors for stability and everyday performance.
Discover the technical features behind Mirage Solid hardwood flooring below.
3/4″ Thick Real Hardwood Boards
With a 3/4-inch thickness, Solid hardwood floorboards are crafted from 100% genuine hardwood. At Mirage Floors, we prioritize the use of North American species such as White Oak, Oak, Red Oak, and Maple, known for their lasting beauty and durability.
Available in both Character and Exclusive grades, these options let you tailor the look to your design vision. The Character grade highlights the natural grain and authenticity of each species, while the Exclusive grade offers a more uniform, refined appearance achieved through careful factory selection.
The generous thickness allows for multiple refinishing opportunities, delivering one of the longest lifecycles in the flooring industry. In addition to this long-term value, Solid floorboards are biodegradable at the end of their life.
Precision-Milled Construction
Mirage floors are renowned for their consistent quality from plank to plank, and our Solid floorboards are no exception. Precision-milled, they feature a tongue-and-groove profile for a reliable fit together during installation, creating a continuous surface while allowing natural seasonal movement. Subtle micro-bevels on all four edges help reduce the accumulation of dust and debris over time. These strip style planks of classic proportions, with widths from 2-1/4″ to 4-1/4″, also bring a timeless look, suitable for traditional and contemporary spaces alike.
High-Performance Protective Finishes
Our exclusive finishes set a benchmark in the prefinished hardwood market for superior protection. Each floorboard is sealed with multiple layers of advanced polyurethane and finished with a highly resistant surface coat that outperforms conventional oil finishes. In addition to preserving the natural beauty of wood, these premium finishes protect against scratches and sun exposure while helping repel microbes, mould, and mildew through antimicrobial agents. The result is exceptional durability, backed by a 35-year residential finish wear-through warranty—for enduring quality and confidence in every installation.
Overall thickness of 9/16" (14 mm)
The overall 9/16" (14 mm) thickness of TruBalance Lite boards is ideal for flooring projects that include tiles, as the thicknesses match. Thanks to its ample stability, TruBalance Lite can be made into wider boards for even more floor styling options.
SOLID HARDWOOD: THE RIGHT PERFORMANCE IN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT
Solid hardwood flooring is a natural material that settles over time, enhancing the character of your home while providing acoustic comfort.
Solid hardwood is more sensitive to its environment and has a lower tolerance for fluctuations in relative humidity. Maintaining indoor humidity levels between 30% and 55% is essential to preserve its stability and appearance. To ensure long-term durability, proper installation conditions must be respected.
Solid hardwood should be installed above grade only and never in basements or below ground level, where excess moisture can cause cupping or warping. It is also best suited for low-moisture areas, making spaces like kitchens and bathrooms less ideal. For the same reason, solid hardwood is not compatible with radiant heating systems, which can create overly dry or unstable conditions for natural wood.
Nail-down installation is the gold standard for 3/4″ solid hardwood over wooden subfloors. Staples or cleats work similarly but often speed up the process. Proper subfloor preparation prior to hardwood installation is essential to avoid problems down the road.
For best results, we strongly recommend using professional installers, as these products require precise layout, alignment, and specialized installation techniques to achieve the intended appearance and performance. Reviewing the installation guide before beginning your project is also crucial to ensure proper preparation, installation, and compliance with warranty stipulations.
Mirage Floors also provides a full range of accessories designed to complement Solid floorboards, including mouldings, reducers, matchable stair nosings, and wood flush mount vents, for a seamless, professional flooring installation that enhances the look of transition areas in your home.

EASY MAINTENANCE FOR A HEALTHIER HOME
Hardwood flooring naturally enhances indoor air quality by reducing dust allergens, contributing to a healthier living environment. With minimal effort, your Solid floors can last a lifetime. Regular sweeping and vacuuming are typically all that's needed for daily care. For occasional deep cleaning, specially formulated KLEAN by mirage products are safe and effective, keeping your floors pristine.
Our durable finishes include an antimicrobial agent that provides excellent protection. Over time, however, natural wear is inevitable. Two textures for different lifestyles help preserve the beauty and integrity of your TruBalance floors:
- The Brushed texture enhances the wood's natural grain while subtly concealing dust, dirt, and minor imperfections—ideal for high-traffic areas.
- The Smooth texture creates a sleek, easy-to-clean surface that prevents dirt buildup, perfect for more minimalist spaces.
For minor repairs, Mirage offers repair kits in colours that match your TruBalance flooring, making touch-ups easy and seamless. Learn more here.

A CLASSIC HARDWOOD FLOORING STYLE THAT'S HERE FOR THE LONG-RUN
As planks are cut directly from tree trunks, Solid hardwood floorboards are produced in narrow widths, a format that has been used for centuries in both traditional and modern homes. The result is a classic hardwood floor look that adds texture, character, and lasting value to any space.
Available in 2-1/4″, 3-1/4″, and 4-1/4″ widths, with lengths ranging from 10″ to 76″, these solid hardwood planks are ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and hallways, as long as they're above grade.

2-1/4″ Plank Widths: Heritage, Forgiving, and Space-Enhancing
Often referred to as strip wood flooring,2-1/4″ planks create a finer, more intricate pattern with boards densely packed across the surface. This busy, traditional aesthetic tends to emphasize grain and can hide minor subflooring irregularities, making it ideal for cottages and heritage homes. Their very narrow width makes them the perfect choice for:
- Smaller rooms and low-ceilinged spaces, where they help visually enlarge the floor area
- Heritage homes and restorations, where preserving original character and proportions is essential
- Spaces with irregular dimensions, where they tolerate minor unevenness better than wider planks for an easier installation
3-1/4″ Plank Widths: Classic, Structured, and Space-Enhancing
Often associated with traditional hardwood flooring, 3-1/4″ planks create a sleek, linear aesthetic that is often favoured for their balanced look. This results in a more uniform surface that feels solid underfoot. Because of their narrow width, they minimize the visual impact of any board-to-board variation. Because of their narrow width, they introduce more lines across the floor, adding visual rhythm and detail. This makes them an excellent choice for:
- Smaller rooms, where they help visually enlarge space while reducing the appearance of seams
- Classic interiors, where a more traditional flooring layout is desired
- Busy households, where the increased number of seams can subtly mask minor wear

4-1/4″ Plank Widths: Balanced, Warm, and Versatile
With just one extra inch in width, 4-1/4″ planks have a slightly broader visual presence, striking a balance between traditional strip flooring and wider planks, making them ideal for transitional interiors. Their wider surface allows the wood's natural grain to stand out a bit more, creating:
- Greater visual depth and richness
- A warmer, more open look without going fully contemporary
- A versatile foundation that offers broad compatibility with furniture layouts
Whether in a Victorian-era bungalow or a contemporary condo, choosing between 2-1/4″, 3-1/4″, and 4-1/4″ planks ultimately comes down to the level of visual detail or openness you want to achieve, both delivering interiors that feel inviting, refined, and enduring.
