Brecon heralds a new era in bathroom flooring

Wood flooring experts Woodpecker Flooring have launched a new bathroom-friendly range.

Traditionally, wooden floors and bathrooms don’t mix. But Woodpecker’s next generation Stratex collection has all the aesthetically-pleasing looks of traditional wood flooring, but is resistant to humidity. The Brecon range in particular is waterproof too – making it the perfect choice for stylish bathrooms.

Manufactured from Woodpecker’s unique next-generation Stratex flooring, Brecon is a high-performance floor available in 20 realistic wood finishes. 

Incredibly strong and durable, not only is Brecon resistant to humid climates but it's also compatible with underfloor heating. The waterproof features and high durability results in minimal expansion, making it a practical choice for modern homes.

However, it’s not just performance where this collection excels. Looks-wise it can more than hold its own against its hardwood counterparts thanks to an embossed, woodgrain-effect vinyl upper layer.

Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “Everyone loves the beauty of wood and its natural character adds style and warmth to every room. But high humidity and wood are not a great combination. 

“Our gorgeous Brecon boards offer the best of both worlds. They are waterproof, incredibly stable and with the look and feel of real wood in a durable natural grain effect, Brecon is a practical yet stylish choice."

Editors notes

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.
