Flooring’s ultimate power duo

Woodpecker Flooring’s Goodrich Raw Oak Engineered Wood Flooring brings on-trend herringbone to living spaces, and can be paired with Harlech Raw Oak Engineered Wood Flooring

Parquet or planks? Why homeowners no longer need to choose

Homeowners who want to inject personality underfoot, but still want the home to feel cohesive, need look no further than Woodpecker Flooring.


The family-run wood floor experts offer corresponding plank and parquet flooring, allowing homeowners to tailor flooring to each room, while still keeping to one unified finish.


The matching pairs, Harlech and Goodrich Raw Oak Engineered Wood Flooring, and Dartmouth and Orkney Smoked Oak Engineered Wood Flooring, boast the same grain patterns, shades and textures to ensure different spaces within the home feel connected, even if flooring patterns vary.


Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “Mixing planks and parquet is a great option for those who want to style spaces throughout the home differently, without it feeling disjointed.


“Parquet is the go-to wood flooring option where homeowners want impact, such as an entrance hall or dining room, while planks offer a more subtle, quieter aesthetic that works beautifully in larger spaces.


“By coordinating planks and parquet in the same finish, homeowners can adopt a more considered approach in different areas, while ensuring the look of the whole home remains seamless.”


Dartmouth Smoked Oak Engineered Wood Flooring, which is available as a plank, has been carefully hand-scraped to reveal deep contrasts, with undulating grain and shadowed knots that tell a story of craftsmanship and history. Orkney Smoked Oak offers the same detailing, but in a herringbone.


Harlech Raw Oak Engineered Wood Flooring has pared-back rustic detailing, making the floor feel effortlessly stylish. Exuding natural character, it has been brushed and matt lacquered to showcase the natural grain and tones of the board. It is also available in a contemporary herringbone, Goodrich Raw Oak.


Darwyn added: “Changing the pattern underfoot allows homeowners to create different zones within the home, and subtly transition between them. Keeping to the same finish ensures the home still feels put together and considered.”


Dartmouth and Orkney Smoked Oak Engineered Wood Flooring, and Harlech and Goodrich Raw Oak Engineered Wood Flooring, all come with a 100-year guarantee.


Woodpecker Flooring’s range of matching plank and parquets are available now, with prices starting at £87 per m2.

About Woodpecker Flooring

About Woodpecker Flooring:

Woodpecker is a family-run business with a heritage in the timber industry that goes back three generations.

Founded nearly 50 years ago by Bruce Ker, a skilled craftsman who loved teaching people how to work with wood, the Woodpecker tradition is continued today by his son Nelson and grandson Darwyn.

Since the very beginning, Woodpecker have been passionate about designing and sourcing the finest wooden floors.

Their dedication starts in the forest. Woodpecker only use responsibly sourced wood with full FSC® or PEFC certifications, selecting the trees before they are felled and paying close attention to how they are sawn, stacked and dried.

The dry wood is then kilned twice for maximum stability before being machined. Centuries-old hand-finishing techniques - such as lacquering, oiling and antiquing the wood - further enhance its natural beauty.

It’s fair to say, nobody knows or cares more about wood than Woodpecker.

Headquartered in Caerphilly, Woodpecker currently offer over 60 flooring options in real wood, engineered wood and bamboo which retails online and at nationwide stockists.
