1. Attach Steller Clips to Solid Wood Planks
Squeeze the clip on from the side - do not slide it on from the end.
Always put clips on planks before installing them - including both long clips and butt end clips.
2. Align & Assemble Planks
Hold planks still during assembly by placing your weight on the installed plank. Use a quick,light tap on the new plank with a mallet or a heel to attach.
Work along planks from one end to the other like a zipper.
3. Enjoy Your Steller Hardwood Flooring
To remove a plank, stand wider than one plank away from your target plank and attach the suction cup to one end.
Lift slowly, and then quickly to release the geometric lock of the clip.

Once you get the hang of clipping planks together, the trick is to get out of your own way - here are pro tips:
Use 2 -3 people on install but do not switch jobs. One person assembles, one person serves planks, and the optional third can trim planks to length.
Always complete whole rows before starting new ones:
Attach butt-ends along the whole length and then long clips on new planks
Push the whole row into alignment with existing flooring except for the last plank.
Use the dropped end as a random start to the next row
If you encounter a subfloor deviation, shim the clips as you work - using ram board, playing cards, or similar incompressible material.

FAQ
Answering Your Most Common Questions
Can Steller Floors be installed in my particular situation?
Probably, yes! Steller Floors can be installed over plywood, concrete, subfloor heat and more. As long as your subfloor is level within 1/8" over 8-10' (can't fit a quarter under a 4' level), you're good to go. We have plenty of site recommendations in our knowledge hub, and you can learn how to level a subfloor from our blog--its easy!
Where can I find a professional to install my Steller Floor?
Pretty much anywhere! There are no certifications required to install a Steller Floor, and anyone can learn how to do it - even accountants, plant biologists, and teenagers. That means you can use a trusted local handy-person or a regional flooring installer to get the job done right - all at prices closer to LVP than traditional hardwoods.
Plus, our support team is very happy to talk with your installer over the phone or in a zoom call. We can answer any questions they may have and make sure that installation is as quick and easy as possible
Can I refinish my Steller Floor?
Yes, our real solid hardwood floors can be refinished just like any other traditional hardwood, but we ask: why would you? On average, most of the damage to a floor comes from the walking areas. Simply swap planks around the room or use 220-grit sandpaper and standard polyurethane to touch up planks--or order a refresher pack from us. With Steller, your don't have to refinish corners of the room you never walked on!
What happens if I get a spill or a flood on my Steller Floor?
When its a cup or so of water, just dry it with a towel; but if the puddle is much larger, thank goodness its a Steller Floor! Instead of being ruined, a Steller Solid Hardwood Floor is easy to care for when you have a big leak or flood. Just check out the knowledge hub for step-by-step instructions.
