Rustic, eco-friendly floors your grandfather would love—and you will, too!

Looking for a rustic, authentic reclaimed floor that’ll lay the groundwork, so to speak, for an eye-catching room? Take a look at Carlisle’s Reclaimed Grandpa’s Flooring. It has a rich, mellow feel, it’s not afraid to show its age, and it’s environmentally sound: Like all of our Reclaimed Floors, Grandpa’s has earned 100% Post Consumer Antique Reclaimed Certification from the Forest Stewardship Council.

Grandpa’s Floors are made from Longleaf Heart Pine flooring that’s been reclaimed from the portions of old buildings that have taken the most wear and tear over the years: old floor boards or structural floor joists that we carefully clean, inspect, and preserve with minimal milling. The result is a “reborn” floor whose original primitive beauty was once covered up by ground-in dirt, debris, and years of abuse. The aged blend of rich pumpkin and deep charcoal color tones is amplified by the original stains, watermarks, and saw kerfs. It’s our most unique and rustic floor.

Have a look at some examples!
