What is WhisperHOME® Hardwood Flooring?

Exclusive to Empire Today®, WhisperHOME® is a specially constructed engineered hardwood flooring that prioritizes quietness. In fact, it’s the quietest wood flooring in the world, nearly as quiet as a carpet floor. And WhisperHOME® doesn’t sacrifice style or durability to achieve this feat—it also offers outstanding wear resistance and the natural charm of a real wood surface.

  • Greatly minimizes noise from foot traffic
  • One of the best topcoats in the industry, with excellent wear and water resistance
  • WhisperHOME® is also a warm wood floor, thanks to improved airflow under the surface

One of the Warmest Wood Floors You’ll Ever Step Foot on

Revolutionary construction with integrated, advanced adhesive applied to the bottom of every plank provides better airflow under the floor, allowing air to circulate. As a result, the floor maintains a room temperature feeling instead of feeling cold.

Why Should You Choose WhisperHOME® Hardwood Flooring?

Among the many good reasons to choose WhisperHOME® hardwood for your next floor, the primary factor is its noise-deadening properties. The combination of a highly-stable engineered core, special channels on the underside of every plank, and an integrated industrial adhesive help make WhisperHOME® the quietest wood floor available. You can say goodbye to the click-clack sound of footsteps on your wood floor — acoustical testing shows that in many cases, WhisperHOME® is just as quiet as a carpeted floor.

But WhisperHOME® products offer other enticing benefits, in addition to the tranquility of a quieter wood floor. The integrated topcoat is among the most durable on the market, offering impressive resistance against water, wear, scuffs and stains. Plus, the integrated channels that help reduce noise also increase airflow below the floor, making it feel warmer underfoot than traditional wood floors. And to top it all off, WhisperHOME® is made from FSC-certified wood, ensuring it comes from responsibly sourced lumber; and it contains no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) that might contaminate your home’s air.
