Structural Calm: Chepstow Washed Oak

Combine the airy beauty of coastal design with unbeatable strength using Chepstow Washed Oak—a superior 21mm engineered plank that offers a fresh, whitewashed look on a structural core.

Chepstow Washed Oak is designed to bring light and space to your home while providing a foundation that lasts a lifetime. At **21mm thick** with a substantial **6mm real oak wear layer**, this floor is a heavyweight contender in the world of wood flooring. The surface is treated with a delicate white oil that settles into the grain, lifting the natural oak tones to a soft, pale hue without masking the timber's character. The boards are brushed to enhance the texture and sealed with durable Hardwax Oil, creating a floor that feels as natural as it looks—perfect for creating a relaxed, Scandinavian-inspired sanctuary.

⚠️ 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 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.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Chepstow different from other floors?

The key difference is the thickness. At 21mm, Chepstow is significantly thicker than standard 14mm or 15mm engineered floors. This structural integrity allows it to be laid directly over joists (like solid wood) while offering the stability of engineered construction.

Is "Washed Oak" white or beige?

It is a pale, natural oak that has been "washed" with a white pigment. This doesn't paint the floor white; rather, it sits in the grain and softens the yellow tones of the wood, creating a muted, sandy-beige appearance that feels light and airy.

Does it have a texture?

Yes, this floor is brushed. Wire brushes are used to pull out the soft spring wood from the surface, accentuating the grain pattern and giving the floor a tactile feel that hides scratches better than a smooth finish.

How long will this floor last?

With a 6mm wear layer (the real oak top), Chepstow floors have a lifespan similar to solid wood. This layer can be sanded down and refinished multiple times over the decades, making it a true lifetime investment.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?
