Product story

History Reimagined: Berkeley Priory Oak

Step back in time with Berkeley Priory Oak—an engineered wood floor that captures the intense character and romance of historic reclaimed timber.

As part of the Berkeley "Extra Rustic" collection, Priory Oak is one of the most distinctive and dramatic floors in the Woodpecker range. It creates the illusion of a floor that has survived centuries, featuring authentic scorch marks and rich dark red undertones that glow with warmth. Each plank is meticulously hand-scraped to produce an undulating surface, while dark filler in the knots and splits emphasizes its aged, lived-in aesthetic.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

To request a return, contact Hyperion within 14 days of delivery. For eligible online consumer cancellations, you have a further 14 days after telling us to send the goods back. Contact us for the correct return address; your statutory cancellation does not depend on our authorisation.

Additional supplier returns have their own eligibility rules, charges and exclusions. These do not override statutory cancellation rights or rights for faulty goods. See our refund policy and supplier return guidance before arranging a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What makes "Priory Oak" different from other Berkeley floors?

Priory Oak is distinct due to its deep red/brown undertones and the presence of deliberate scorch marks. While "Rugged Oak" is a classic brown and "Cottage Oak" is golden, Priory Oak mimics timber salvaged from a fire or historic building, offering a richer, darker aesthetic.

Is the surface smooth?

No, it is highly textured. The surface is hand-scraped, creating a wavy, undulating feel underfoot. This enhances the rustic look and makes the floor feel like it has been worn down over generations.

What is the wear layer?

The floor features a robust 4mm solid oak wear layer bonded to a stable engineered core. This ensures the floor has the visual appeal and longevity of solid wood but with better resistance to humidity changes.

Can I sand this floor?

Yes, the 4mm wear layer allows for sanding. However, sanding would remove the hand-scraped texture and the surface colour/scorch marks, essentially resetting the floor to a flat, raw oak appearance.

Is it suitable for pets?

Yes. The "Extra Rustic" and distressed nature of Priory Oak makes it incredibly forgiving. Scratches from claws or toys tend to blend into the existing character of the wood rather than standing out as damage.

Installation & Care Tips

⚠️ Installation & care

  • Installation Method: This T&G board allows for versatile installation: float over underlay (gluing joints), secret nail to joists/plywood, or fully stick down to the subfloor.
  • Underfloor Heating: Perfectly suitable for UFH systems. We strictly recommend the glue-down method when using UFH to ensure the best heat transfer and stability.
  • Oiled Finish Care: The oil finish brings out the richness of the scorch marks. Maintain this depth of colour by using Woodpecker's specific oiled floor cleaning products.
  • Rustic Character: This is an "Extra Rustic" floor. Expect large knots, open splits, and dark filler. The scorch marks are a deliberate design feature intended to mimic reclaimed timber.
