Installation Methods

Whisperia is approved for direct glue installation. The plank, with its acoustic backing, is adhered to the subfloor using the adhesive the manufacturer specifies for pad-attached products. Because the pad is already attached, there is no separate underlayment to install. Results in sound testing depend on the full floor-ceiling assembly, so confirm assembly details with your design team. Flatten and moisture-test the subfloor per the manufacturer's pad-attached LVT guidance.

Specifier Tips

In a multifamily building, use Whisperia inside units and guest rooms, and a heavier commercial plank in matching tones for corridors. Low Key or White Noise keeps small units feeling open, while Muted Echo or Inside Voice gives a warmer, hotel-like feel. Check local code and HOA sound requirements early, since the full assembly determines compliance.
