Life in the slow lane

New collection from Woodpecker Flooring encapsulates slow living

It’s a trend that has more than 6.1m posts on Instagram but wood flooring experts Woodpecker Flooring believe ‘slow living’ is far more than a passing craze.


Which is why all their solid and engineered wood floors now come with a 100-year warranty.


Slow living, or slow design, emphasises thoughtful, intentional lifestyle choices that also considers sustainability too.


When it comes to interiors, it’s about making deliberate decisions that will bring a sense of calm to the home.


Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “All of our solid and engineered wood floors start life from a tree that is over 100 years old, and we have worked hard to ensure these boards will stand the test of time in family homes. Our Woodpecker floors will bring life and warmth to homes for another 100 years.”


Slow living is captured in the newest additions to the Chepstow range. Chepstow, which is renowned for its majestic, thick and traditionally oiled engineered boards, is a strong, hardwearing and timeless board.


Its latest additions Flaxon, Silverglade and Shale, all put the wood’s natural grain in the spotlight. Like the rest of the Chepstow collection, they offer a hand-worked, distressed feel.


Darwyn added: “Chepstow is a real beauty of a collection that puts the natural beauty of wood in the spotlight. It’s the ideal collection for those homeowners who are looking to create a classic blank canvas around which to build the rest of their interior scheme.”

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.
