TruBalance engineered floorboards: where performance meets comfort.
Discover the ultimate in beauty and durability with TruBalance floorboards. Combining advanced technology with carefully selected materials, TruBalance delivers enhanced stability and long-lasting performance. Their robust 3-layer construction effectively resists movement caused by humidity changes.
Each TruBalance board is precision-milled for consistent quality, making installation straightforward and resulting in a seamless, uniform floor.
Backed by a Structural Lifetime Limited Warranty, TruBalance provides exceptional peace of mind and enduring value for your home.
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 Canadian manufacturer. TruBalance is available in highly durable wood species: White Oak, Red Oak, Maple, Hickory, and Walnut.
The core layer, measuring 13 mm in thickness, 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 top sawn hardwood lamella layer and the high-quality 2 mm wood backing veneer. This construction effectively reinforces the floorboard structure, minimizing movement as humidity levels fluctuate.
Moreover, the core layer *predominantly consists of quarter sawn wood, exhibiting a consistent, straight grain oriented perpendicular to the direction of the wood fibres in the top hardwood lamella. This configuration enhances overall stability and prevents warping, ensuring a durable and long-lasting flooring solution.
The substantial 3/4” thickness of TruBalance floorboards provides excellent stability, allowing for the creation of wider boards and offering a myriad of floor styling possibilities.
A floor that's perfect year-round.
Whether it's rainy or dry outside, TruBalance floors remain stable and durable thanks to their engineered 3-layer structure crafted with exclusive manufacturing processes to guarantee the highest quality hardwood flooring.

"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 a product 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."
