Golden Warmth: Chepstow Flaxen Oak

Invite the timeless beauty of the harvest into your home with Chepstow Flaxen Oak—a superior 21mm engineered plank that combines structural strength with a rich, golden-caramel finish.

Chepstow is the heavyweight champion of the Woodpecker collection, and "Flaxen Oak" is its most inviting finish. Designed to capture the feeling of a floor that has been "footworn" yet remains untarnished, the surface features flowing grain patterns and slowly grown knots that add authentic rustic character. The oak is treated with a Hardwax Oil that enhances its natural honey and wheat tones, creating a warm, lived-in aesthetic. At 21mm thick with a substantial 6mm wear layer, this floor is structurally load-bearing and built to last generations, making it the perfect foundation for a forever home.

Installation & care

⚠️ 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.

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

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What colour is "Flaxen Oak"?

"Flaxen" refers to the colour of flax or wheat. This floor features warm, golden-yellow and caramel tones that look like natural, sun-drenched oak. It is warmer than the pale Washed Oak but lighter and more golden than the Planed Grey Oak.

What is "Rustic" Grade?

This floor celebrates the natural features of the tree. Expect to see distinct grain patterns, colour variation between planks, and knots. These features are filled and smoothed, adding character without compromising the structural integrity of the board.

Does it require oiling immediately?

No, Chepstow Flaxen Oak comes pre-finished with Hardwax Oil. However, we recommend applying a coat of maintenance oil/wax shortly after installation to seal the joints and ensure the floor is fully protected from day one

Can I lay this over joists?

Yes! The defining feature of the Chepstow range is its 21mm thickness. This structural board is strong enough to be secret-nailed directly to timber joists (at 400mm centres), removing the need for a subfloor.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?
