Bold walls and wooden floors are a killer combination when it comes to creating a cosy living space. And according to the wood floor experts at Woodpecker Flooring, it’s a look that’s going to be everywhere this winter.

Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, explained: “For a long time, carpets were considered the key to a ‘cosy’ living space. But homeowners are becoming increasingly more ambitious in their interior choices and we are seeing much braver, bolder uses of wood floors.

"Wood is naturally warm underfoot with a wonderful robust feel enhanced by the wide range of finishes and textures now available, from super smooth and glossy to richly textured and full of character – wood truly brings your room to life."
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.
