Installing Mirage Lock Hardwood Flooring

The Mirage Lock video is a great example of some of the new prefinished wood floors that are available that do not require any glue, staples or nails during installation. (You will still need some wood cutting tools, etc.) Glueless wood floors (like Mirage Lock) are installed by floating the wood floor over the top of a wood sub-floor or fully-cured concrete slab.



The only thing I noticed when visiting their web site is the Mirage Lock has a "High-density fiberboard (HDF) core". The HDF core is what is used with laminate flooring. So this is really a laminate core construction with a real wood top layer. In other words, this is not a true engineered wood floor. None the less, it is an easy-to-install flooring option for someone who desires a wood floor appearance. Note: Mirage also manufactures real engineered wood floors as well.
