Discover the ultimate finishes that contribute greatly to making Mirage the best-quality hardwood flooring in the industry

Get the perfect finish for your lifestyle—whether family-friendly or commercial grade—for unbeatable protection and lasting beauty.

Our 4 exceptional finishes rank among the finest in the prefinished hardwood market. Years of innovation and continuous improvement have allowed Mirage to craft finishes that combine remarkable durability with the enduring beauty of wood. Formulated for superior protection, these finishes help extend the lifespan of your hardwood floors, ensuring they remain stunning for years to come.

PREFINISHED HARDWOOD FLOORING, THE MIRAGE FLOORS WAY

All Mirage Floors products are prefinished for a reason! Prefinished hardwood flooring refers to wood planks—whether solid or engineered—that have been fully finished in the factory, including sanding, colour application, sealing with layer upon layer of polyurethane coatings topped off by a durable and highly resistant surface coat that locks out microbes, mould, and mildew. The result is a consistent coating that protects against scratches and sun exposure, giving you exceptional value. 

With prefinished hardwood, installation is quick and hassle-free. No mess from sanding, no lingering toxic fumes from curing finishes—just immediate functionality. Plus, enjoy peace of mind with a 35-year warranty on finish wear-through in residential use, 3 years for light commercial use with the DurAlive™, DuraMatt®, and Cashmere® finishes, and 5-year protection for light commercial applications with the Commercial finish.

WHY THE GLOSS LEVEL MATTERS

You can find prefinished flooring in high gloss, matte, and semi-gloss finishes, but all our finishes are either matte or ultra matte—not just for aesthetic appeal, but for practical reasons as well!

Our matte finishes have a low-gloss appearance that beautifully highlights the natural texture and grain of the wood, with a soft sheen that gently catches the light. The result? Understated elegance and a natural, earthy aesthetic. In contrast, our ultra-matte finishes deliver a muted, organic surface with minimal light reflection, for flooring with a sleek, modern look and a soft, velvety feel. Both matte and ultra-matte finishes do a great job of reducing the appearance of dirt, dust, and footprints, so maintenance is a breeze. They also conceal imperfections from everyday wear, such as dents and scratches. For high-traffic areas or homes with children and pets, we highly recommend pairing matte finishes with textured wood and Character grade for enhanced durability and to minimize visible marks.

Overall, matte finishes are the perfect choice for your modern lifestyle, offering both beauty and practicality.

MAINTENANCE REMINDERS

Special properties in the topcoat of Mirage hardwood floors help make cleaning easier and prevent the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew. Regularly vacuuming or sweeping your wood flooring to remove potentially abrasive dirt should help reduce scratches. However, even with a durable finish, it's important to remember that wood is still wood, and a certain level of care is required to preserve its beauty. 

Never pour cleaners directly onto the floor. Instead, use a damp mop and make sure it doesn't leave excess water or detergent behind.

Avoid using wax, oil-based cleaners, or any household cleaning products, as they can damage the finish and leave a slippery residue that's difficult to clean and impossible to refinish without extensive sanding and revarnishing.
