We are really thrilled to invite professional interior designers to join our new Trade Partner Program. Under the program, our experienced staff will handle all of the needs of your clients for residential as well as commercial projects, just as we do for all of our customers. We’ll process all orders, packing and delivering the flooring on time and providing the top-notch customer service for which we are famous.

Professional designers are invited to apply at gocarlisletothetrade.com to get more information about the program or to apply to join (use membership number 3MA2DZ).. We also encourage you to call us at 800-595-9663; we’ll be happy to talk with you about the many benefits of becoming a Design Trade Partner.

If you’re a designer, we’re looking forward to working with you, and with your clients! If you’re a customer who’d like to engage a designer, we can help with that, too, as we are industry partners of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID).

Proud to be an Industry Partner of the American Society of Interior Designers

We’ve been lucky, in recent weeks, to have had the chance to meet and talk with members of the American Society of Interior Designers. Two Design Consultants from our Stoddard, N.H., headquarters attended a Meet & Greet in Boston for members of the ASID New England Chapter last week, and we were delighted to see so many members of ASID’s New York Metro Chapter at the opening of our New York City Showroom in May.

As one of ASID’s Industry Partners, we’re always happy to talk with member designers about using Carlisle Wide Plank Floors to create effects that range from rustic to historical to elegant and upscale.

Our Design Consultants Shanon Sterrett and Lynn Rafuse reported that they had a terrific time at the ASID New England event, held at the Design Within Reach Studio. They met designers, staff from other industry partners, and ASID New England board members, including President Barbara Bradlee, President-Elect Jane Hassan, Membership Director Cheryl Morrison, and Communications Director Christina Patton.

Shanon wrote: “This event provided a great venue to introduce the ASID New England Chapter to our Design Trade Partner Program, which is something Barbara and Jane were very excited about, as were the designers that we met.” She encourages all interested designers to call Carlisle (1-800-595-9663) for information on the program.

”Lynne and I are looking forward to attending future ASID events around New England!,” Shanon concluded.

We’d like to conclude with a thank you to all who came out to the New England ASID event, and this special thank you for New York Metro ASID members:
