Mirage P7 Manufacturing Process

The superiority of Mirage flooring is due to our exclusive P7 manufacturing process, an extremely thorough process that combines state-of-the-art technology with the experience of a highly skilled staff.

Superior Stability
The drying process used for Mirage wood exceeds industry standards. The wood is verified before processing and stored at carefully controlled temperature and humidity levels.

Precision Cut
Wood strips are always perfectly straight and consistent in width and length for a refined look and superior durability.

A Perfect Fit of Tongue and Groove
The tongue and groove fit perfectly on all 4 sides of the strips, ensuring unmatched uniformity and easier installation while saving you time and effort.

Even Sanding
Strips are first assembled into a panel, then sanded with a high-precision sander for flawless, perfectly even results. This high-precision process makes it possible to achieve the smallest, most uniform micro-V joint in the industry.

Uniform Coloring
The entire strip surface, including micro-V joints, is evenly stained, then brushed and cured in hot air and ultraviolet light to ensure uniform coloring in each and every box of flooring.

High Performance Finish
Our ALUMIX® Ultra high performance residential finishing system is 3 to 5 times more resistant to wear than competitive finishes. Its exceptional durability is provided by an aluminum oxide compound suspended in ultraviolet-cured polyurethane. ALUMIX® Ultra creates a surface resistant to bacteria, microbes, and mould. For some natural wood species, UV PROTECTION™ slows and reduces the sunshading effect that causes wood to darken and yellow over time (Mirage was the first manufacturer to introduce this technology, in July 2001).

Integrated Quality Assurance
Rigorous quality control and every step of manufacturing is your guarantee that every wood strip in every box is of the highest quality
