Woodpecker Flooring on the importance of making a great first impression

First impressions count. Which means when it comes to the home, all eyes are going to be on the entrance hall.

And according to the experts at Woodpecker Flooring, the key to a great-looking hallway is the flooring.

The nine-strong Harlech engineered wood collection from Woodpecker Flooring is the perfect choice for a busy area such as the hallway.

The unique construction of engineered flooring ensures high durability.

But it still scores highly in the aesthetic stakes as the real wood top layer ensures it has all of the wonderful detailing and character of solid wood, making it both practical and beautiful.

The natural wood grain in the top layer creates a wonderful texture underfoot and the characterful details add warmth and interest to a space, creating an instant homely and welcoming feel – perfect for hallways.

Plus, it’s relatively easy to keep clean too.

Darwyn Ker, MD of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “Our Harlech range offers a variety of floor styles with just the right amount of character, making it an ideal choice for hallways. With a pick of natural to dark shades and narrow to wide planks, there’s a floor to complement everyone’s style.

“And with a simple brush and mop, it’s quick and easy to clean too, so you don’t have to worry about the constant running in and outdoors.”

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.
