Structural Elegance: Chepstow Planed Grey Oak

Experience the strength of a structural floor without compromising on style with Chepstow Planed Grey Oak—a superior 21mm engineered plank that blends robust durability with contemporary ashen tones.

Chepstow is the heavyweight champion of the Woodpecker collection. At 21mm thick with a substantial 6mm real oak wear layer, this floor is designed to last generations. Unlike thinner engineered boards, Chepstow is load-bearing and can be installed directly over joists, making it perfect for renovation projects. The "Planed Grey" finish offers a modern twist on traditional oak; the boards are sanded smooth but retain subtle horizontal "chatter" marks from the planing machine, creating an authentic, handcrafted feel. A wash of contemporary grey stain cools the natural oak, resulting in a sophisticated "greige" palette that is finished with five coats of durable Hardwax Oil.

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 is a "Planed" finish?

A planed finish means the board has been smoothed down, but not to a completely flat, "sanded" perfection. The planing process leaves subtle, rhythmic chatter marks across the surface. These are visible when the light hits the floor, adding a layer of authentic craftsmanship and texture that sets it apart from standard flat boards.

Can I lay this directly onto joists?

Yes! This is a major benefit of the Chepstow range. Because it is 21mm thick, it is classified as a load-bearing board. You can secret nail it directly to timber joists (spaced at 400mm centres), removing the need for a subfloor layer like plywood or chipboard. This creates a traditional solid feel underfoot.

What is the difference between Chepstow and Goodrich?

Chepstow is a plank format and is significantly thicker (21mm vs 15mm), designed for structural use or maximum longevity. Goodrich is a parquet (herringbone) format and is 15mm thick. Both use high-quality European oak, but Chepstow offers a thicker wear layer (6mm).

How do I maintain the Oiled finish?

Hardwax Oil penetrates the wood to protect it. To clean, use a specialist wood floor soap (like Woodpecker's Cleaning Liquid for Oiled Floors) which cleans and nourishes the oil simultaneously. Avoid harsh detergents. The beauty of oil is that scratches can be sanded and re-oiled locally without refinishing the whole room.

Installation & Care Tips

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

  • Structural Fitting: Unlike thinner floors, 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.
  • Acclimatisation: Essential for all natural wood. Store packs in the room of installation for 3-4 days prior to fitting to allow the timber to adjust.
