HEALTHY LIVING

As a natural floor covering, it's an eco-friendly choice that supports a healthier living space. By minimizing the effects of dust allergies and requiring minimal maintenance, it offers both comfort and convenience for everyday living.

EXCEPTIONAL VALUE

With a durable, hard surface built for outstanding longevity, it lasts for decades. Priced on par with other quality flooring, it remains cost-effective over time—especially through its increased home value at resale.

EFFORTLESS STYLE

It brings a warm & inviting ambiance to any room, with a timeless aesthetic that effortlessly evolves with your personal style. The look and feel of your décor will benefit from enhanced versatility through options that elevate any design.

HEALTHY LIVING

An Eco-Friendly Choice

Hardwood flooring is crafted from responsibly harvested wood. As a renewable resource, it offers a lower environmental impact than synthetic alternatives. With a lifespan of up to 100 years, it minimizes waste and is fully biodegradable at the end of its life cycle.

Mirage goes further—supporting forest preservation and reforestation efforts, using wind power, and producing first-rate products that contribute to LEED credits are some of the reasons why we are naturally responsible. Our commitment to eco-conscious production aligns with modern values and minimizes environmental impact.

Healthier Living Space

Hardwood flooring supports a cleaner indoor environment, especially beneficial for those with asthma, allergies, or chemical sensitivities. It doesn't trap allergens or release harmful chemicals like some synthetics.

 

Mirage enhances these benefits with protective finishes formulated with antimicrobial agents that resist bacteria, mold, and mildew. Independently tested by third parties to show exceptionally low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde, our coatings promote lasting cleanliness and better air quality.

Minimal Maintenance

Hardwood is easy to clean and maintain. Unlike carpet, it doesn't trap dust and allergens, requiring only regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping.

Mirage's specially formulated hardwood floor cleaning products help protect your floors while promoting a healthier home. With minimal upkeep, hardwood maintains its beauty for generations—perfect for stylish, low-fuss living.

EXCEPTIONAL VALUE

Outstanding longevity

Known for its exceptional durability, hardwood flooring can last up to 100 years with proper care—far outlasting vinyl, laminate, or carpet. Factors like wood species, finish, and lifestyle influence longevity. For instance, denser woods like Hickory or Maple are more resistant to heavy foot traffic, scratches, and dents, making them well suited for busy households.
