Woodpecker | Chepstow Rustic Oak Lacquered 190mm

Nailing Down:
Goodrich can be secret nailed onto various timber subfloors, including solid wood flooring, plywood, OSB, particleboard, and securely adhered vinyl tile or non-cushioned resilient floors installed on a wood subfloor.

Gluing Down:
For direct gluing, Goodrich can be applied to concrete, ceramic tiles, terrazzo, metal, slate, marble, OSB, or plywood. Ensure the surface is rough or porous. Slick or sealed surfaces should be pre-sanded, especially gypsum and anhydrite screeds, to remove soft surface laitance. When gluing to concrete, use Woodpecker 11P Surface Primer for a strong bond. Gypsum or anhydrite screeds require additional preparation with Woodpecker Level-X Primer and Level-X levelling compound to remove soft surface laitance.

Floating:
A floating floor installation is suitable for concrete, anhydrite, existing wood floor chipboard, ceramic tiles, terrazzo, metal, PVC, linoleum, slate, marble, particleboard, OSB, and plywood subfloors (excluding carpet). Choose an underlay with a built-in damp-proof membrane, such as Floormate or Aquastop, based on the subfloor condition.

How do I clean my Chepstow floor?

To maintain this oiled floor's beauty, use our specially formulated cleaning liquid for oiled floors. Alternatively, a well-wrung mop with water is suitable. Avoid using steam mops or other solutions on our floors.

Does Chepstow flooring require acclimatization before installation?

Yes, we advise letting your Chepstow floor acclimatize for 3 to 4 days in the same room where it will be installed. Keep it within the sealed packaging to prevent warping due to temperature changes. Avoid storing the flooring in damp or outdoor areas.

What condition should the subfloor be in for Chepstow flooring?

Ensure the subfloor is structurally sound, free from dampness, rot, or insect infestations. It should be flat, with no uneven areas exceeding 3mm over a 2m span. Vacuum and remove any debris before installation. Insulate hot pipes to prevent localized hotspots that may affect the flooring.

How thick is Chepstow flooring?

Chepstow flooring boasts a thickness of 21mm, featuring a substantial 6mm real oak wear layer.

What expansion gaps are recommended for Chepstow flooring?

Allow for expansion gaps wherever the boards meet a wall, structural support, or transitions between rooms. Use spacers during installation and remove them before finishing with skirting boards or trims. A 2mm gap per meter span of the floor, with a minimum of 10-15mm, is advised.

What is color variation, and how should I lay planks with color variation?

Color variation is the natural variation in color that occurs in real wood. Blend planks from different packs across the room to achieve a balanced color effect.

Is Chepstow flooring compatible with underfloor heating?

Yes, Chepstow flooring is suitable for use with underfloor heating, but it must be fully adhered.

What are the installation options for Chepstow flooring?

You can choose to float, glue, or secret nail Chepstow flooring, offering flexibility in installation methods.

What type of joints does Chepstow flooring have?

Chepstow flooring features tongue and groove joints for a secure fit during installation.

Can I install Chepstow flooring in a bathroom?

We generally advise against using engineered flooring in bathrooms due to moisture exposure.

What does 'pack includes cut lengths' mean?

This indicates that at least one plank within your pack will be cut in half intentionally to distribute joints across the floor, preventing weakening. The remaining planks will be of uniform length.

How much wastage should I allow for Chepstow flooring?

We recommend allowing for 10% wastage, though this may vary based on room shape, laying style, and other factors. Always consult your installer for accurate measurements.
