The entrance hall is one of the hardest working spaces in the home.

It has to look great – for many it will be the first thing they see when they cross the threshold of your doorstep and you know what they say about first impressions.  

But looks aren’t everything and in a high traffic space like the hallway, function must also be taken into consideration. The entrance hall is up against it all – unsightly dirt and mud from grubby shoes, wear and tear from the impact of school bags flung against the floor.

Wood floor experts Woodpecker Flooring believe the key to a striking – yet serviceable – entrance hall is all in the flooring.

“Engineered wood flooring is perfect for a busy area such as the hallway,” said Darwyn Ker, Woodpecker Flooring’s Managing Director. “With its high durability and real wood top layer, it’s not only practical but beautiful too.

“The natural wood grain creates a wonderful texture underfoot and the characterful detail adds warmth and interest to a space, creating an instant welcoming feel.”

Here Darwyn picks his favourite flooring from the Woodpecker range which will elevate the hallway into a stylish entrance.
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.
