• Brown Maple holds up to wheelchair pressure in this home renovation

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  

  Some times you need a really hard floor--like when wheelchairs are involved.  For this home in Cumberland, Rhode Island, the design firm Inclusion by Design, used Carlisle's 8-inch Brown Maple boards, which were finished at the home site with a Gingerbread stain and tung oil.   Inclusion by Design, based in Providence, Rhode Island, specializes in making homes and businesses accessible to people with disabilities and they take on some projects where renovations need to be made because of new, limited mobility. The Carlisle Mill in Swanzey, New Hampshire handled making this floor with the design work of Crystal Knowles in our Stoddard, New Hampshire offices. The Brown Maple is a great option for those who like the look of an older pine, but need to have a much harder floor.

• Inspired by installing a Carlisle floor, one man now uses them throughout his spec home

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  

  Laura, from Carlisle's Denver showroom, sent along these photos of a recently completed project featuring 7- to 12-inch Heart Pine.  Seth, a person who installed the floors at the Denver showroom, fell in love with our dark Heart Pine at the time.  When he ventured into designing and building a home to sell, he of course chose the Heart Pine, as you can see here in his kitchen (above) and dining room (below).  This past spring, when the house was complete, he put it on the mark and it sold within three weeks. Dare we say it was the floors that did it? Well, maybe...or Seth's beautiful design and craftmanship throughout. Seth has a degree in architecture, owns a floor installation company and now is designing and building--as you can see.

• Three very different offices, same Carlisle floor

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

   

  Gary Ryer in our Stoddard offices sent along these photos from a repeat customer based in Fairhope, Alaska.  Customer Gary Cox sent these along to show us the Carlisle floors he had installed in three offices in his company.  Each of the offices is a bit different, but they all have our Country Premium White Oak, in 4- to 6-inch widths.  We think they all look smashing. You? The customer says the first thing any visitor comments on is his floors.

• From New Hampshire to Michigan, this kitchen project got done

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  

  
  

  Cheryl Workman and her husband came by Carlisle’s showroom and offices in Stoddard, New Hampshire last summer and fell in love with our Antique Oak floor.  Six months later, they untook the renovation project—installing the Antique Oak in their small kitchen in Michigan.  The floor shown here was prefinished with an Amber stain and is 7-inch widths. Cheryl writes…

  
  

  
  

  …(The kitchen project) was a lot of mess, but so worth every minute of it. Thank you so much. I could not be happier.

• 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.
  Von Salmi and Associates, Inc.
  Construction, Consulting and Design
  P.O. Box 425
  Westminster, MA 01473 

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