Your Floor, Your Rules: The Freedom to Fine-Tune Steller Floors

Written by The Steller Team | Nov 17, 2024 12:10:20 AM

Wood floors have a story to tell—one of life, character, and individuality. At Steller Floors, we celebrate that story. Unlike traditional, permanently installed wood floors, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all perfection. Instead, we believe in giving you the freedom to change your floor at any time, for any reason including: modifying aesthetics, acoustics, maintenance and more. 

Unprecedented Functionality

With our innovative modular design, you can fine-tune your floor effortlessly, removing planks and making simple adjustments to create the experience you want—all without special tools or professional help.

But it doesn’t stop there. With Steller Floors, you can:

  • Play with Grain Patterns: Move planks to highlight bold grains or balance the visual flow of your room. Want a centerpiece effect? Swap planks to draw attention to a standout grain or shading.
  • Manage the Aging Process: Over time, wood develops a patina unique to its environment. With Steller Floors, you can move planks to create an even aging process—or let some areas “leather” or deepen in tone for an authentic, lived-in look.
  • Access Hidden Spaces: Need to update wiring, repair plumbing, or install radiant heating? Simply lift the planks, address the issue, and replace them without the hassle or damage of traditional flooring.
  • Plan for the Future: Thinking about a new layout or remodel? Steller Floors makes it simple to adapt to whatever’s next since it is easy to lace planks together for a seamless look.

With Steller Floors, you can interact with your floor in ways no other system allows.

Real Wood, Real Personality

Wood is a living material, and its behavior changes with your home environment. Plastic and synthetic floors may try to mimic the qualities of wood, but they’ll never capture its warmth, its character, its solid feel underfoot, or its authentic sound.

For some interiors, the sound of natural wood floors evokes the charm of a vintage cottage or the elegance of a historic estate. For example, at the Radiant Bride, a new-construction bridal shop in Cleveland, the team opted to elevate the natural sound of the flooring to transport shoppers to a Parisian shop.

For others, a quieter space is ideal. With Steller Floors, the choice is always yours. Our innovative system minimizes unnecessary noise, while preserving the natural character of real wood. And if you want to adjust? Our design makes it simple.

The Power of Adjustment: How It Works

One of the most unique aspects of Steller Floors is the freedom to make adjustments long after installation. For example, if you discover a squeak or creak - the sound is likely to be the result of a recent swing in humidity, or you might have a subfloor imperfection that deviates from our recommended specs.

If you want, it's easy to modify! Here’s how it works:

  1. Identify the Sound: If a noise catches your attention, it is most likely caused by a gap between your floor and the subfloor outside our typical spec.
  2. Remove the Plank: With Steller Floors’ modular system, this is as easy as lifting the affected plank using a simple suction cup—no glue, nails, or damage to worry about.
  3. Shim or Adjust: If you discover a gap larger than a dime or nickel, insert a small shim to stabilize the area, and you’re done.
  4. Monitor and Revise: If there’s no gap to be found, you might review your indoor humidity levels. Once they stabilize, your floor will naturally stabilize as well. 

This simple process takes just a few minutes and ensures your floor works can be modified to meet your preferences. Whether you embrace the natural sounds of real, solid wood floors or prefer a quieter space, Steller Floors give you complete control over your interior environment.

Customization at Its Best

One of the most unique aspects of Steller Floors is the freedom to make adjustments long after installation. Compare that to synthetic flooring: if a problem arises, you’re often stuck replacing an entire section of the floor.

With Steller Floors, you can tackle adjustments on your terms, ensuring your floor always meets your preferences. We believe every homeowner should have the ability to customize their space without unnecessary barriers. That’s why Steller Floors gives you:

  • Full Control: Adjust your floors any time, for any reason - yourself or with any Pro.
  • Simplicity in Maintenance: Keep your floor looking its best, without adhesives, complex tools, or professional help.
  • Choose between Repairs or Replacement: Ready to pull out the sand paper and refinish? Go for it! If not, you can order replacements from us at any time.

With Steller Floors, we provide a perfectly crafted floating flooring system so that you can craft your own flooring experience.

A Floor That’s Uniquely Yours

Plastic floors, laminates, and traditionally installed wood floors lock you into a single choice the day they’re installed. Over time, they may scratch, fade, or deteriorate, leaving you with no option but to replace the whole floor. Your Steller Floors are different because they adapt and change alongside your home and your lifestyle. From grain and natural wear to sound and future accessibility, no floor offers you more control with a modular, plank-by-plank approach.

Steller Floors isn’t just a product—it’s a partner in your home’s journey. Easier to install, easier to care for, and more adaptable than anything else on the market, it’s a floor that works for you.
