A Visit from Warmboard at the Log and Timber Show!

Posted by Megan Sprague

Bill from Warmboard stopped by for a visit during the Log and Timber Show! We have partnered with Warmboard in the past on events and email marketing as our products are a great fit together. Bill works with the girls from our DC office, Janel and Hannah.

Here's a radiant heat panel that Warmboard let us borrow during the show!

I had the opportunity to meet with Angela from Washington SPACES magazine when at the Log and Timber show in Chantilly. In the Fall issue of SPACES, Carlisle was interviewed in the article "The Ground Game" about our FSC Certified Antique wood and pattern floors.

Carlisle Joins the Log and Timber Show, Chantilly, Virginia

Posted by Megan Sprague

We exhibited at the Log and Timber show over the weekend in Chantilly, Virginia! It was a neat show and we had the chance to meet with many people.

Before the show started, one of our preferred installers, Aaron Penney installed our wide plank Eastern White Pine and Heart Pine floors.

Here's a photo of Aaron putting the Antique Cut nails into the Eastern White Pine floor.

Once the show started, visitors stopped by the booth to look at our beautiful solid wide plank floors. Here's a photo of Janel from our DC Design Center chatting with one of our guests! They're talking about our hand scraped hickory floors.

Here's a few close up shots of the booth in between visitors stopping by.

This is the Custom Coat Pre Finished heart pine floor!

Here's a nice shot of our wide pine floor, this has our signature Gingerbread stain!

Customer Letter and Friendly Service

Posted by Megan Sprague

This customer is in the process of having her FSC Antique Oak floors installed.
Here's a nice letter she sent to Dana Tuscher of our New York sales team...
Thank you very much for the lovely picture - the wood is drop dead gorgeous!

I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me today. Each time I have called your company I have been handled in a first class kind of way by each person I have spoken to - what a luxury. Please tell your staff their
kindness goes a long way and makes a lasting impression. It is a pleasure dealing with Carlisle.

Best....
Carol

Great Carlisle Service=Happy Builder

Posted by Megan Sprague

Here's a note from Lauren Power of our Midwest Sales team:

Thought you might like to take a look at this amazing PREFINISHED floor
we made for homeowners in PA.

It's a mix of 4-8" 'country' White Oak and all 8" 'country' rift and
quarter sawn white oak with gingerbread stain!

The best news is that the builder is now needing about 2000 SF of
prefinished Cherry for another home he's working on. This is a builder
who was VERY hesitant about our terms and didn't want to pay for the
floor before he saw it. I guess we proved ourselves the first time
around- thank you to everyone involved in crafting this beauty!

Enjoy
