Bold Heritage: Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak

Make a statement of enduring strength and history with Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak—a superior 21mm engineered plank that combines structural power with a dramatic, hand-finished aesthetic.

Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak is a floor designed to look like it has witnessed centuries of life. The timber features a stunning mix of rich auburn and deep chocolate tones, brought to life by sultry stains and augmenting waxes. Each board is painstakingly distressed by hand, featuring tumbled bevelled edges and characterful surface dents that evoke an authentic antique look. At 21mm thick with a substantial 6mm wear layer, this floor is structurally load-bearing and built to last generations, offering the visual impact of an ancient masterpiece with the stability of modern engineering.


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

Is Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak engineered or solid wood?

Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak is a heavyweight engineered plank, 21mm thick with a generous 6mm real oak wear layer over a stable core. The extra thickness makes it robust enough to install over joists or battens like a solid floor, while the thick wear layer allows it to be sanded and refinished several times.

What does Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak look like and where does it suit?

Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak has deep auburn and chocolate tones with a hand-distressed surface that gives the timber real age and character. It brings warmth and drama to living rooms, hallways and dining rooms. For bathrooms or wet areas, consider a waterproof option such as the Brecon or Weymouth ranges.

Can Chepstow flooring be used with underfloor heating?

Yes. As an engineered board, Chepstow is compatible with underfloor heating when glued down, as the engineered core handles the temperature changes well. Allow the planks to acclimatise in the room first and keep the surface temperature within Woodpecker's recommended limits.

How is Chepstow 21mm flooring installed?

Thanks to its 21mm thickness, Chepstow can be secret-nailed over joists or battens like a traditional solid floor, or floated and glued over a prepared subfloor. The thick 6mm wear layer makes it a hard-wearing, long-term choice for busy rooms and renovation projects.

Is Chepstow covered by a warranty, and can I order a sample?

Chepstow is backed by a Woodpecker manufacturer's warranty for domestic use. You can order free cut samples to see the distressed charcoal finish in your own light, and we offer free UK delivery on orders over £1,000, plus a full display at our Ascot showroom.

Installation & Care Tips

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

  • Structural Fitting: Chepstow 21mm can be secret nailed directly to floor joists (at 400mm centres) as a load-bearing floor, or floated over an underlay.
  • Underfloor Heating: Compatible with UFH. However, for efficient heat transfer with this 21mm thick board, a full surface bond (glue-down) installation is highly recommended over the UFH screed.
  • Maintenance: This floor is Oiled. You should use a liquid wax cleaner (like Woodpecker One Coat Soap) to clean and nourish the floor. Do not use standard detergents.
