Product Description
Elegant, airy, and full of natural beauty, Strata Fourteen Whisper Oak is the perfect choice for those who want a light, contemporary engineered hardwood floor with timeless appeal. Available from FloorStore Direct, Ireland’s trusted destination for engineered floors and hardwood flooring, this 14mm oak floor combines the best of craftsmanship, durability, and design. With its light stain, brushed texture, and matt lacquered finish, Whisper Oakbrings a sense of calm sophistication to any space — ideal for bright, modern interiors or classic homes that embrace natural warmth.
Each plank of Strata Fourteen Whisper Oak is carefully crafted from premium European oak, known for its strength, stability, and beautiful grain pattern. The light stain enhances the natural tones of the wood, creating a soft, neutral palette of beige and honey hues. This subtle colouring reflects light beautifully, making rooms feel larger and more inviting — a perfect choice for open-plan living areas, kitchens, and bedrooms alike.
The brushed finish brings the floor’s natural texture to life. By gently removing the softer fibres from the surface, the brushing process reveals the oak’s distinctive grain, adding depth and tactile appeal. This not only enhances the character of the wood but also makes it more resistant to everyday wear, making Whisper Oak both stylish and practical.
The matt lacquer adds a refined finish that feels natural underfoot while protecting the surface from scratches, moisture, and general wear. Unlike glossy finishes, matt lacquer offers a more organic appearance that preserves the authentic beauty of real oak. It’s also easy to maintain, ensuring your floor remains as beautiful as the day it’s installed, even in busy family homes.
The rustic grading of Strata Fourteen Whisper Oak embraces the unique characteristics that make hardwood flooring so desirable. Expect visible knots, colour variation, and areas of sapwood, all of which highlight the individuality and charm of real wood. Each plank tells its own story, giving your floor a one-of-a-kind look that synthetic alternatives simply can’t match.
With a 14mm multi-layer engineered construction, Whisper Oak delivers both the luxury of solid wood and the practicality of engineered design. Its layered structure prevents movement caused by changes in temperature or humidity, making it ideal for Ireland’s climate and fully compatible with underfloor heating.
Installation is flexible — it can be glued directly to the subfloor for a secure, solid feel or floated using its tongue & groove system for quicker and simpler fitting. Both methods ensure a professional-quality result that enhances the elegance and comfort of your home.

Recommend Underlay/Adhesive
Our Engineered Flooring can be fitted either over an underlay as part of a floating system or can be directly glued to the subfloor. Our advice would always be for you to glue your floor down if possible. This will provide a more solid and stable structure that will increase noise reduction, feel better underfoot and will not expand as much. In the long term it will also provide structural stability during any floor sanding. If you have underfloor heating a glued down floor eliminates air pockets and will then allow your heating to work more economically. You can view all our adhesives here.
If you choose to float your floor the underlay you choose can be just as important as the floor itself as this is what will determine the feel and noise level under your foot. Furthermore if you have underfloor heating, the underlay you choose will determine the level of heat conductivity with some underlays allowing for a quicker heat transfer than others. Because of this, getting the right underlay is hugely important. You can view our entire underlay collection here
Fitting Guidelines
In order for your new floor to perform to the best of its ability we advise using a skilled, professional fitter for the installation of your new floor. Prior to installation your floor must be checked to ensure it is level and free from moisture. Should there be any issues with this our levelling compounds and damp proof membranes are available here. It is vitally important, in particular with a floating floor that you do not fit any heavy objects (Such as fitted kitchens or islands) directly to the floor. An installation gap of 10-12mm must also be left around all 4 sides of the room including at doorways. Please refer to manufacturers guidelines for full installation instructions.
Cleaning & Maintenance Guide
The cleaning and maintenance of our Strata range is pretty much the same as with most Engineered Flooring. A sweep of a brush is all it should take to remove light dirt from your floor. For mopping, it is important you use a damp mop rather than a wet mop. If your floor is too wet, over time it may cause issues from water penetrating the joints. We advise the use of a PH neutral floor cleaner to ensure no damage to the floor. Also a spin mop or micro fibre mop should ensure the floor is not being overly wet.
