Description

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.

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.
