If you're planning another chapter of homeownership—whether that means downsizing, aging in place, or preparing your home for in-home care—your floors may be the most important upgrade you haven't considered yet.
Traditional flooring options often come with challenges:
- Gapping and Seasonal Movement: Changes in humidity can cause permanently installed floors to expand and contract- which pulls the wood away from nails and glue and threatens the stability of the floor.
- Wheelchair Wear and Tear: Many flooring options, like luxury vinyl plank (LVP), can suffer damage from wheelchair use, including cracking and joint separation.
- Cleaning Difficulties: Traditional hardwood floors often require careful maintenance to avoid damage from moisture and cleaning. They're exceptionally difficult to repair if damage does occur.
- Disruption from Refinishing: Refinishing traditional wood floors can necessitate vacating your home due to dust, fumes, and drying times.
At Steller Floors, we design solid hardwood flooring to meet the unique needs of those folks looking for a simpler lifestyle. Here's how:
🏠 A Floor That Fits the Next Phase of Life
Downsizers are making smart choices: reducing clutter, simplifying spaces, and investing in quality that lasts. Steller Floors are perfect for this stage—not only because they're stunning, but because they make long-term home maintenance radically easier.
- No refinishing required. Ever. Our prefinished hardwood floors are sealed on all sides and you can opt to repair or replace planks instead of refinishing.
- Easy repairs, no professionals needed. If life happens—like scratches, pet accidents, or wheelchair dings—just pop out a board and replace it in minutes.
- DIY-friendly installation. Install them yourself or with any local contractor. No glue, no nails, and no mess.
👣 Safer, Smarter Flooring for Aging in Place
For those planning to age in place, Steller Floors offer practical benefits that make staying in your home safer and simpler:
- Flat, smooth surfaces that reduce tripping hazards and support mobility aids.
- Compatible with subfloor heating systems for comfort and energy efficiency.
- Repairable without demolition—no sanding, no fumes, no disruption.
Because the boards float over the subfloor and can be accessed individually, future renovations or adjustments (like modifying thresholds or expanding accessible areas) are easy and affordable.
🧑⚕️ Ideal for In-Home Care Settings
If you or a loved one is planning for in-home care, your flooring should support cleanliness, safety, and dignity.
- Spills or Scratches & Dents? No problem. Individual boards can be removed, cleaned, or replaced without tearing up the whole floor.
- No warping from spills, humidity, or cleaning products.
- Aesthetic warmth—because clean and functional floors don't have to be cold.
Whether you're transforming a guest room into a care suite or retrofitting an entire home, Steller Floors allow you to build a space - quickly - that works now and adapts later.
🛠️ How to Repair a Steller Floor
Repairing your hardwood floor has never been easier. Steller Floors are the world’s only hardwood floor that is “Forever Fresh”.
- Do I need a professional to make repairs? Since Steller Floors are not nailed or glued to the subfloor, you do not need to hire specialized labor. No certifications are necessary to install or repair a Steller Floor, so do it yourself or hire a local handyman!
- What if I only damage a small area of my hardwood floor? Steller floors are demountable which means that you can easily remove planks and clips without complex tools or labor. You can remove a damaged plank and swap it with a plank hidden under your furniture. And, we sell Refresher Packs if planks are in need of replacement.
- What if I need to replace a section of my hardwood floor? You can order replacement planks at price per square foot costs, rather than replacing or resurfacing large areas. If the damage is caused by water, take these steps to repair affected planks before buying new ones.
- Can I resurface or refinish a Steller Hardwood Floor? You could always site-refinish a Steller Floor, but why would you? Since Steller Floors are demountable, we encourage you to rethink how you approach flooring problems. Instead of refinishing corners of the room you don't walk on, only tend to damaged planks and high-traffic areas to reduce material and labor costs associated with hardwood floor repairs.
