• High-end builder has high praise for Carlisle floors

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  We got a nice note from Von Salmi in April, letting us know he had a new website. He builds and designs homes and is based in Westminster, MA.  Mr. Salmi wrote:

   I have worked with Carlisle Wideplank Flooring  and Rick Menard for almost 10 years. It has been a pleasure to work with such a professional organization. I work on very large homes with very discriminating clients who look for the unusual and most beautiful floors that we can install. I had an instance where the client wanted a mahogony floor in a master bath. Traditional Honduran Mahogony was the wrong look and Rick provided an Asian Mahogony as an alternative that completely fulfilled the interior designers' and clients' needs.

  I have purchased everything from 4-inch White Oak quartered and rift sawn, quartered Walnut Herringbone, Custom Oak parquet to antique all Heart Pine flooring and Carlisle has delivered consistantly in quality and time on every order.

  Whenever I am asked who I use for my flooring there is only one name that comes out of my mouth, Carlisle Wide Plank Flooring. I hope it is the only name that I will ever have to say.

  A very satisfied customer,

  Von Salmi, Pres.

  Well, we're very satisfied when we hear this kind of thing from folks we've worked with over the years. Thanks, Von!

• Yes, you can glue Carlisle Walnut floors directly to concrete

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  Homeowners Kim Keast and her husband in Houston, Texas set out to directly glue a Carlisle Walnut floor, with 5- to 10-inch widths, directly to concrete, and they worked with Robert Plut out of Carlisle's Denver offices and showroom. We got photos from them while they were in the middle of their project and another set and a nice report from them when they were done with the installation.

  Here's the note Robert got from Kim right after she and her husband finished the installation.

  Hi Robert, 

  I have attached a few pictures of our home.  A view from the upstairs to the foyer, my dining room and then my path to the master bedroom.  Thanks for all of your help and we'll be in touch about our next Carlisle project in 2010!  Now that's it's done, it's hard to believe we laid it ONE board at a time!  It's absolutely beautiful!  Exactly what I had pictured in this brain of mine! 

  THANKS!  KIM

  p.s. We had only 6 - 8-inch boards left of different lengths and very little scrap.  We used every 10-inch and 5-inch board that you sent to us!  I had so few left over that I could stack them in my clothes closet for when we get to our kitchen project next year!  Great estimating!
