The Muse Collection is an ode to amazing women throughout history who are remembered for their outstanding achievements.
These audacious and passionate women dedicated their lives to pursuing their dreams, regardless of the obstacles they faced. They provide inspiration that goes well beyond arts, music, and literature.
The women are a selection of muses from around the world: they've inspired people to make a difference in the society we live in.
The names given to the floors of the Muse Collection have been selected in honour of these muses and their impact on humankind.
The important work accomplished by these women continues to influence today's world. Consequently, the colours in this collection have been designed to bridge past and present by enabling homeowners to combine traditional and contemporary styles that emphasize harmony and balance between the old and new, classical and modern.
In the same spirit of innovation and forward-thinking displayed by these women, our sophisticated wood flooring colours are versatile and adapt to many contemporary design styles, from minimalist to eclectic, providing a welcome juxtaposition with sleek modern elements that push the boundaries of what is possible for home design.
The Muse Collection is made with White Oak, one of the most aesthetically pleasing wood species, that blends well with most styles and colour schemes. The appearance of White Oak offsets bolder layouts, so it works well in a variety of décors including residential and light commercial settings.
White Oak is a hard species that lasts for decades, which means it holds up in high-traffic areas of the home such as kitchens, entrances, living rooms, and hallways due to its high durability and resilience. Its tight cellular structure puts it at 1360 on the Janka Hardness Scale.
Furthermore, White Oak hardwood floors require little maintenance, mostly regular sweeping and vacuuming. Their protective matte finish and brushed texture hide the appearance of scratches caused by everyday life, prolonging the wood’s natural beauty. The DuraMatt® finish also contains an antimicrobial agent for a cleaner environment, and overall, hardwood floors create a healthier living space by minimizing the effects of dust allergies.

Achieve your perfect style for any space by choosing between the two distinct wood grades offered in our Muse Collection. A grade classifies wood boards according to natural colour variations and the presence of knots, mineral streaks, and character marks. This is purely about the wood's visual appeal, not its quality.
Embrace the authentic appearance of natural wood with the Character grade. This grade features a rustic look, boasting a wide range of visual characteristics, such as pronounced colour variations, opened and closed knots, mineral streaks, surface holes, and other character marks. Some distinctive marks may become prominent over time due to changes in the environment.
On the other hand, the Exclusive grade aims for a more refined and uniform appearance, with pronounced and nuanced coloration, and a limited range of colour variations. Often chosen for spaces where a more formal or contemporary aesthetic is desired, it may be seen as a premium option for those who want a pristine and sophisticated look for their flooring.
You may want to go with a more conventional style for your home design, and Linear hardwood boards in either 5" or 7" widths will look dazzling. However, Herringbone hardwood flooring in a 5" width is an eye-catching way to introduce some bold patterns into your home styling.
With roots in Ancient Rome, this floor pattern is characterized by precise layouts that require intricate craftsmanship, making it a symbol of sophistication in any setting. The classical Herringbone pattern defined by its majestic, staggered zigzags is having a revival in contemporary design, as the timeless classic still looks fresh and offers a unique manner to customize hardwood flooring.
Bolder composition options are available in the Muse Collection. Here are 6 different shapes that create unusual patterns and make symmetry come to life.
The shape of the Herringbone boards provides endless layout possibilities to refine any setting, whether wall-to-wall patterns or inlays in flooring sections to introduce visual divisions into larger spaces.
Moreover, combining different TruBalance Lite wood floorboards, Linear and Herringbone, or alternating 2 or 3 colours creates stunning effects that add depth and personality to a room.
TruBalance Lite technology comprises 3 layers:
TruBalance Lite delivers multiple advantages such as relative humidity levels ranging from 25% to 70% and the perfect floorboard thickness for combining with tiles and other flooring materials. Floorboards are available in 5" and 7" widths to bring your stylish vision to life. Discover all the benefits of TruBalance Lite technology.

The Lock technology is also composed of 3 layers:
The advantage of Lock technology is in its milling, which allows you to save on installation costs. The ends and sides of each board easily lock and hold firmly together like the pieces of a puzzle. In fact, no glue, nails, or staples are even required during installation. Rest assured that the Lock technology offers great stability, with relative humidity levels ranging from 30% to 60%. Floorboards are available in 5" widths. Learn more about Lock technology.
For both technologies, each board is protected with DuraMatt®, a polyurethane finish that offers 20 times more wear resistance than conventional oil finishes. The hypoallergenic coating provides superior resistance to stains, scratches, and abrasion, and is backed by a 35-year warranty on finish wear-through for residential applications.
Finally, the precise milling of every floorboard allows for easier maintenance, because better-fitting flooring limits dust and dirt buildup between boards. MIRAGE, a proudly North American company, prides itself on its unmatched manufacturing excellence, recognized 47 times as being best-in-industry by expert flooring dealers.
