Starwood

The Starwood tiles are specifically designed to mimic the authentic look and texture of real wood flooring, with surface detail that replicates natural grain and knot patterns. When laid correctly with a staggered joint and a matching grout colour, most people find it difficult to tell them apart from genuine timber at first glance.

Unlike real wood, the Starwood tiles will not warp, swell, or fade with moisture and temperature changes, making them a far more durable and stable long-term flooring choice. They also require no sanding, oiling, or specialist treatments – a simple mop and mild cleaner is all that is needed to keep them looking great.

Tiles are generally an excellent choice for use with underfloor heating systems because they conduct and retain heat efficiently, unlike solid wood which can be problematic over heated subfloors. We recommend confirming compatibility with your specific underfloor heating system and using a flexible tile adhesive suitable for heated substrates when installing the Starwood tiles.

The Starwood tiles are well suited to residential living spaces such as lounges, kitchens, and hallways where you want the warmth of a wood aesthetic. If you are considering them for a commercial application, please contact the Stoke Tiles team to discuss the specific wear rating and whether the Starwood range meets the requirements of your project.

Day-to-day maintenance of the Starwood tiles is straightforward – a regular sweep or vacuum to remove grit and dust, followed by a mop with warm water and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner, is all that is needed. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or bleach-based products, as these can dull the surface finish over time.
