Lauzon Flooring Reviews
Lauzon is a premium Canadian hardwood brand with a unique distinction — their Pure Genius finish actively purifies indoor air. Here's our complete review for Michigan homeowners.
About Lauzon Hardwood Flooring
Lauzon Unique Hardwood Floors has been manufacturing hardwood flooring in Quebec, Canada since 1987. Like Mirage and Preverco, Lauzon is a premium Canadian brand that controls the entire manufacturing process — from kiln-drying the lumber to applying the final finish coat.
What makes Lauzon genuinely unique is their Pure Genius finish — a proprietary technology that uses titanium dioxide to neutralize volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and airborne pollutants when exposed to light. It's the only hardwood floor finish in the world that actively improves indoor air quality.
For Michigan homeowners, this is particularly meaningful. Michigan winters mean sealed homes, reduced ventilation, and higher concentrations of indoor pollutants. A floor that actively purifies the air is a real benefit — not just a marketing claim.
Beyond the Pure Genius finish, Lauzon floors are known for exceptional dimensional stability, a wide range of species and stain options, and finish quality that rivals Mirage and Preverco at a slightly lower price point.
Lauzon Pure Genius: The Air-Purifying Finish
Pure Genius is Lauzon's most talked-about innovation — and it's genuinely unique. The finish contains titanium dioxide nanoparticles that react with light (natural or artificial) to break down VOCs, formaldehyde, and other airborne pollutants. Independent testing shows a single room with Lauzon Pure Genius flooring can purify the equivalent air of 3–4 trees.
