Introducing Stonehaven, a new collection from wood flooring experts Woodpecker Flooring. Inspired by the organic beauty of the British coastline, Stonehaven has an ethereal feel.
Its subtle shades and the wood’s natural grain offer an element of laidback luxury which belie its competitive price point, while its tongue and groove locking joints ensure its durability for years to come.
Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of family-run Woodpecker Flooring, says: “We have put an incredible amount of work into Stonehaven.

We wanted to create a board that works quietly in the background to set the tone for the rest of the room. “It isn’t loud or attention seeking. Instead, it offers a subtle beauty that brings harmony to any space to create a very relaxed, serene environment.
“It is a stunning range around which to build the rest of the home’s décor.”
Stonehaven is available in six finishes, from the delicate silver- grey of Stonehaven Strait Oak to the brooding cherry tones of Stonehaven Brook Oak. Stonehaven Wisp Oak offers
a golden hue while Stonehaven Amaretti Oak gives a hint of caramel. Stonehaven Rustic Oak and Stonehaven Stream Oak both allow the natural tones of the wood to radiate, bringing tranquillity and charm.
Darwyn added: “Stonehaven is a collection that ticks all the right boxes. It’s competitively priced without compromising on any of the quality and detail that is expected with a Woodpecker floor.” Like all engineered wood products
from Woodpecker Flooring, Stonehaven comes with a 100-year warranty.
Vinyl explores a range of inspiring and authentic natural looks.
Waterproof laminate floor The impressive durability of Quick- Step’s laminate floors are now waterproof across most ranges and in the Capture collection, laminate is brought closer to nature than ever before. The HydroSeal technology and precision fit joint create a waterproof seal without affecting the worry-free scratch and stain resistance that makes laminate a popular choice for busy families. Never before has a laminate floor looked as good as Capture. Quick- Step has recreated every detail in colour and structure in every knot, crack, grain and joint, using new technology that allows it to achieve up to 20 times the depth of other laminate floors. Capture comes closer to real wood than you ever thought possible. With its waterproof wood, vinyl and laminate floors, Quick-Step brings premium quality and refined design to every room. Visit quick-
