Description

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.

⚠️ 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.

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?
