Hand-Crafted Heritage: Berkeley Cottage Oak

Capture the charm of a centuries-old farmhouse with Berkeley Cottage Oak—a 15mm engineered floor that is painstakingly hand-scraped to create a truly aged, authentic aesthetic.

Berkeley Cottage Oak is not just a floor; it is a piece of history reimagined for the modern home. Unlike smooth, mass-produced boards, every plank in this collection is unique. The surface is hand-scraped by artisans to create subtle undulations that feel incredible underfoot. To deepen the character, the oak features visible sawmill "chatter" marks along the edges, mimicking the timber of a bygone era. Finished with a natural Oil that sinks deep into the wood, the "Extra Rustic" grade proudly displays large knots, dark splits, and flowing grain, bringing an instant sense of warmth and permanence to your interior.

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

  • Hand-Scraped Surface: Because the surface is uneven by design, this floor looks best when laid towards the light source to accentuate the shadows and texture.
  • Underfloor Heating: Compatible with UFH. For the best stability with this wide plank, we highly recommend a full surface bond (glue-down) installation over the screed.
  • Maintenance: This floor is Oiled to allow for easy repair of the distressed surface. Clean with a specialist soap (like Woodpecker One Coat Soap) that nourishes the wood as it cleans.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How does "Cottage Oak" differ from "Rugged Oak"?

While both are in the Berkeley range and share the same hand-scraped texture, Cottage Oak has lighter, warmer golden-honey tones. Rugged Oak tends to be darker and richer with slightly more red/brown undertones.

Is this suitable for a busy family home?

Yes! The "Extra Rustic" nature of the floor means it is incredibly forgiving. Scratches and dents that might ruin a smooth, glossy floor simply blend into the textured, hand-scraped surface of the Berkeley range, adding to its character.

What is the wear layer?

It features a substantial 4mm solid oak wear layer. This is thick enough to be sanded and refinished several times over the floor's lifespan, although sanding would eventually smooth out the hand-scraped texture.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes, Woodpecker Flooring provides an industry-leading 100-year warranty on this product, giving you complete confidence in your investment.

Can I install this myself?

The Tongue & Groove system is traditional and can be installed by a competent DIYer, especially if floating over underlay. However, for a fully stuck-down installation (recommended for Underfloor Heating), we advise using a professional fitter.
