Swap the Core
And Add Quiet to the Floor
Moving Acoustics Upstream
Acoustic performance has been an add-on at the job site using separate underlayment products, extra labor and installation steps. Until now.
Q-CORE shifts acoustic performance from the installation process to the manufacturing process, delivering a premium acoustic floor while capturing more revenue for every square foot sold.
With Q-CORE engineered directly into every plank at the factory, manufacturers deliver quieter, more stable, code-compliant flooring with greater on-site quality and built-in value.
Quiet is The New Standard
MAKES QUIET POSSIBLE
Research links noise to increased stress and remains the top complaint in multi-family housing. Acoustic performance is becoming more and more a requirement – not an option – in flooring design.
Performance Starts with How It’s Built
Q-CORE is manufactured using Constrained-Layer Dampening Technology
Solid wood is cross laid on balancing layers fabricated with veneers and recycled rubber
This proven construction method results in a more stable core – with acoustic performance built-in
Recycled rubber manufactured
into each core plank to create acoustic performance
Two Acoustic Layer Options
Single Acoustic Layer
Double Acoustic Layer

Making The Planet A Priority
Q-CORE is CDPH certified and contributes to three categories of LEED points and integrates perfectly into your sustainable flooring products.
For every 22 SQFT of single acoustic layer, one tire is removed from landfills (double layer is every 11 SQFT installed), helping to reduce waste and promote sustainability.

An Architect’s Eye
A Contractor’s Practicality
As an architect and contractor, I watched acoustic underlayment slow down projects, add complexity, and create unnecessary work. It didn’t make sense.
So I asked: Why isn’t the acoustic built into the floor itself? Q-CORE is the answer – a patented core with acoustic performance built into a complete acoustic system.
I look forward to discussing how Q-CORE can fit into your product line.
Reviews
“When you walk on the floor, you feel both the beauty of the wood, as well as the added heft of the assembly. Everything from the thickness of the material to the ease of install and its environmental impact have been thought through.”

“For beauty, comfort and cleanliness there was only one choice for our family, natural wood. With three kids it was important to guarantee as peaceful an environment as possible and that began by dampening at the source with Quietleaf Flooring.”

CLIENT
“I love saving time and cost by eliminating two separate installations and associated labor. I love the environmental sustainability component of using recycled rubber for the sound attenuation layer and knowing the product lets off zero VOC’s into the air of my home.”
