How do I manage the space where my hardwood floor meets a fireplace?
In most applications, installing a Steller Floor near a fireplace is similar to both installing any floor near a fireplace and installing your Steller Floor along a wall.
-
Use the provided spacer
Just as you would along a wall, insert the spacer we provide to leave the correct gap between your floor and the fireplace. -
Choose your gap cover
You have several options to finish the edge neatly:-
Quarter Round or Trim: A classic choice, painted or stained to match your floor or fireplace.
-
Stone or Tile: If your fireplace has stonework, a matching strip can create a seamless look.
-
Extruded Aluminum L Strip: A sleek metal option that hides the gap and comes in a variety of colors to complement your floor.

Final Result
Once installed, your floor will have the movement space it needs while maintaining a clean, polished look around the fireplace.
