As interest soars in ‘wabi sabi style’ – an interior trend celebrating the aesthetic appeal of imperfections – wood floor experts Woodpecker Flooring are embracing natural beauty in all its unfiltered forms.

Woodpecker Flooring’s Berkeley Century Pine is a majestic collection that brings a wealth of character through its thick, traditionally oiled boards. Each board has been hand-worked and boasts undulating ridges and grooves, as well as knots, scrapes and age-blackened bevels and nail holes. It is these imperfections that give Berkeley Century Pine its distinctive finish.

Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “The appetite for more natural, slightly imperfect finishes is growing. Homes are very much a reflection of real life and not everything is perfect all of the time. Berkeley Century Pine reflects this in a truly authentic way. These are beautifully imperfect floors with a story to tell.”

Berkeley Century Pine is part Woodpecker Flooring’s Legacy Floor Range; all these boards offer something extra special, from careful hand-finishing to extraordinary textures and character.

Consumer interest in wabi sabi style is rising according to research from Pinterest Trends.

Berkeley Century Pine Engineered Wood Flooring is available now from woodpeckerflooring.co.uk priced at £123 per m2.

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 100 flooring options in real wood, engineered wood and wood design which retail online and at nationwide stockists.
