TRUBALANCE ENGINEERED HARDWOOD FLOORS: PERFORMANCE IN EVERY LAYER
TruBalance floorboards are backed by years of research, with every detail engineered for long-lasting performance and superior stability. Crafted from premium materials, TruBalance maintains its structural integrity across a wide range of relative humidity levels, making it suitable for installations above, on, and below grade, as well as over radiant heat systems.
Each board is precision-milled for consistent quality, while micro bevels on all four sides simplify installation and help minimize dust and dirt buildup over time. At the core of TruBalance's performance is its robust 3-layer construction. Let's take a closer look.
Real Hardwood Top Lamella
Locally Sourced SPF Quarter Sawn* Core
Wood Backing Veneer
4 mm Real Hardwood Top Lamella
The 4 mm top wear layer made of genuine hardwood highlights the natural beauty of wood. True to Mirage's reputation and commitment to quality and sustainability, the hardwood used for TruBalance floorboards is processed from responsibly harvested wood by a proudly North American manufacturer. TruBalance is available in highly durable wood species: White Oak, Oak, Red Oak, Maple, Hickory, and Walnut.
High-Performance Protective Finishes
Our exclusive finishes set a benchmark in the prefinished hardwood market for superior protection. The top wood lamella of 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 resist scratches and sun exposure while helping lock out microbes, mold, and mildew through antimicrobial agents. The result is exceptional long-term performance, backed by a 35-year residential wear-through warranty—for enduring quality and confidence in every installation.
Locally Sourced SPF Quarter Sawn* Core Layer
The 13 mm thick core layer is crafted from locally sourced SPF, a fast-growing species selected for its sustainability and rapid resource renewal. Comprising multiple thin strips of wood arranged side by side, this layer is sandwiched between the 4 mm sawn hardwood top lamella layer and the high-quality 2 mm wood backing veneer. This reinforces the floorboard structure, minimizing movement as humidity levels fluctuate.
The core layer (*predominantly quarter sawn) exhibits a consistent, straight grain running perpendicular to the wood fibers in the top hardwood lamella. This enhances overall stability and prevents warping, for a durable and long-lasting flooring solution.
Overall thickness of 3/4″ (19 mm)
Substantial 3/4″ thick TruBalance floorboards provide excellent stability, allowing for wider boards and a myriad of floor styling possibilities.
OPTIMAL HUMIDITY TOLERANCE FOR YEAR-ROUND PERFORMANCE
TruBalance engineered boards are built to withstand fluctuating environmental conditions, ensuring stability rain or shine. Designed to resist expansion and contraction caused by changes in temperature and humidity, TruBalance flooring maintains its form throughout the year.
With a relative humidity tolerance of 25% to 80% for glued and stapled installations, and 30% to 60% for floated installations, TruBalance can be safely installed on all levels of your home—whether below, on, or above grade. Additionally, TruBalance is compatible with subfloors featuring radiant heat systems, except for products made with a Hickory top layer.
Thanks to advanced technology, TruBalance engineered boards can be manufactured in widths up to 9″ without compromising stability. This is a significant advantage over solid wood planks, which are typically limited to 4-1/4″ in width. Wider boards provide a modern, spacious aesthetic, making them a popular choice in contemporary interior design.
For homeowners seeking a versatile flooring solution that can be used throughout their entire home, TruBalance simplifies the process, providing one reliable product for every space.
TRUBALANCE: BECAUSE HOME IS A LIVING SPACE
Home is where every moment in life unfolds, from quiet mornings to playful afternoons. TruBalance keeps your floors balanced, so your space stays comfortable, stable, and ready for real living.
INSTALLATION VERSATILITY AND EASE
TruBalance boards offer exceptionally flexible installation, making them highly adaptable to a wide range of conditions and subflooring. Depending on project requirements, boards can be nailed or stapled, glued down, or installed as a floating floor. Precision milling and a reliable tongue-and-groove system ensure a perfect fit, allowing for faster installation while maintaining a high-quality, professional finish.
TruBalance Straight plank products are packaged with a mix of board lengths, for a more natural, visually appealing layout and faster installation. Length ranges vary by plank width to ensure balanced and harmonious proportions. Chevron and Herringbone products, however, are manufactured in fixed lengths and require glued-down installation to ensure proper alignment and long-term performance.
TRUBALANCE: REAL WOOD. REAL PEACE OF MIND FOR PROFESSIONALS.
“What I like about Mirage's TruBalance technology is that the name really says it all: There's a great ‘balance' in the floor's construction, and it's a state-of-the-art product. It's a joy to use.
The 3-layer construction makes the flooring very stable in a variety of conditions, even in dryer environments. We have a lot of installation experience, and we find that this technology reacts to its environment better than others on the market. Plus, it's lighter, which makes it easier to install and work with.
The fact that it's sourced from local forests and made right here in North America is an important factor for us and fits with our values. Mirage's reputation also gives us and our customers the peace of mind of knowing the product is of the highest quality.
It's a pleasure to partner up with Mirage, because we know we can count on their support.”

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 TruBalance 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 colors that match your TruBalance flooring, making touch-ups easy and seamless. Learn more here.

ENDLESS ALLURING PATTERNS: A UNIQUE WAY TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR FLOORS
How you lay your TruBalance hardwood floors can dramatically influence the look and feel of a space. From classic, linear arrangements to intricate geometric patterns, flooring layouts help define scale and movement, shaping how a room is experienced at first glance and over time.
Straight plank TruBalance hardwood flooring provides a timeless, versatile foundation for any interior. Offered in mixed lengths and multiple widths, it lets you tailor the look to your space. Narrower planks in 5″ and 6-1/2″ widths add texture and detail, while 7-3/4″ and, in select collections, 9″ widths create a cohesive, elevated aesthetic with fewer seams to enhance larger and open-concept spaces. Layout direction further shapes the flow by guiding the eye and emphasizing key areas.
Herringbone TruBalance flooring brings refined elegance through its sophisticated staggered zigzag pattern. Offered in a 5″ width with fixed 20″ lengths, this iconic design adds texture and visual interest without overwhelming a space. Long admired for its craftsmanship and versatility, Herringbone continues to resonate in both classic and contemporary interiors. Learn more about Herringbone.
Chevron TruBalance flooring makes a bold design statement with its continuous “V” shapes at 45-degree angles. Also available in a 5″ width with fixed lengths, this pattern introduces dynamic movement and a sense of depth, making it especially effective in smaller spaces. Its precise, angular layout creates a striking visual flow and a distinctly elevated look. Learn more about Chevron.
