Product story
Misty Elegance: Chepstow Shale Oak
Bring the serenity of coastal cliffs and morning mist into your home with Chepstow Shale Oak—a superior 21mm engineered plank that blends structural robustness with contemporary, cool grey tones.
Inspired by mist cascading across rock faces, Chepstow Shale Oak features a beautiful palette of soft greys and cool tonal variations that add vitality and depth to any room. Unlike standard grey floors, the natural "Rustic" grade ensures that the timber's character still shines through, with visible knots and grain patterns preventing the colour from looking flat. At 21mm thick with a substantial 6mm wear layer, this structural board is designed to last a lifetime. Finished with durable Hardwax Oil, the surface is protected while retaining an organic, satin feel that is a joy to walk on barefoot.

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.
