Soft Whisper

Soft Whisper is the palest board in the Acoustic Timber Collection ? an oak-look decor taken almost to white, with only the faintest warm cast and a very subtle grain pattern showing through.

This is a floor chosen to disappear. In a minimal interior where the architecture, the light or the view is meant to be the subject, a near-white floor removes the floor from the conversation entirely and lets the room read as a single bright volume. It is the most effective board here at making a small or dim space feel larger.

It is also the least forgiving. Every dark speck, every hair and every piece of tracked-in grit shows on a near-white surface, and there is no colour variation for anything to hide in. It suits a household prepared to keep on top of it, or a room that does not take heavy traffic ? a bedroom, a study, a guest bathroom. It is a difficult choice for a busy family entry.

What it hides well is dust, which is the more constant nuisance in most homes.

It is a 1520 ? 230mm board, the wider format in this range. The wide plank and the pale colour together produce a very clean, contemporary floor with minimal visual interruption.

No species cross-link applies ? the decor is a generic pale oak look rather than a specific timber.

Use this colourway as a selection reference rather than a stock or pricing claim. Samples should be checked in the actual room under daylight and artificial light before ordering.

Installation still depends on the parent range and the site. Subfloor flatness, moisture, floor height, trims, door clearances, acoustic underlay and room sequencing can all affect whether this colour is suitable for the project.
