Product story

Aged to Perfection: Goodrich Cathedral Oak

Capture the charm of centuries past with Goodrich Cathedral Oak—a premium 15mm engineered herringbone floor that has been painstakingly hand-distressed to recreate the feeling of generations of footfall.

Goodrich Cathedral Oak is the most characterful floor in the Woodpecker collection. It celebrates the concept of "Extra Rustic" beauty, featuring waves of honey, caramel, and cocoa tones that swirl together to create deep warmth. What sets this floor apart is its texture: each block is manually scraped and distressed to create subtle undulations and tumbled edges, mimicking the worn, reclaimed look of an ancient church or manor house floor. Finished with five coats of natural Hardwax Oil, the timber retains a breathable, organic satin sheen that is easy to spot-repair and nurtures the wood from within.

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 "Extra Rustic" grade?

Unlike "Select" or standard "Rustic" floors, Extra Rustic embraces the full, raw character of the tree. Expect large knots, dark fillers, splits, and significant colour variation. This is intentional and adds to the antique, reclaimed charm of Cathedral Oak.

What is the difference between Hardwax Oil and Lacquer?

Cathedral Oak uses Hardwax Oil, which penetrates deep into the wood rather than sitting on top like a plastic shield (lacquer). This gives the floor a natural, breathable feel. The benefit is that scratches can be spot-repaired by applying a little more oil, whereas lacquered floors often need sanding to fix deep scratches.

How do I clean this floor?

Because it is oiled, you should use a specialist wood floor soap (like Woodpecker's One Coat Soap) that cleans and re-oils the floor simultaneously. Avoid steam mops and harsh chemicals, as these can strip the oil protection.

Is the surface smooth?

No. This floor is hand-distressed. It features undulating scrapes and tumbled edges to simulate hundreds of years of wear. If you prefer a smooth, flat floor, we recommend the Natural Oak or Biscotti Oak options instead.

Installation & Care Tips

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

  • Fitting Method: Goodrich blocks feature T&G joints. While they can be floated, we strongly recommend a full surface bond (glue-down) installation to minimise movement and sound.
  • Underfloor Heating: Compatible with UFH. A full glue-down installation is required to ensure efficient heat transfer and stability.
  • Maintenance: This floor is Oiled. You should use a liquid wax cleaner to clean and nourish the floor. Do not use standard supermarket detergents.
