Update: The little green house that could

  • Posted by

Back last year about this time, we told you all about how Carlisle Wide Plank Floors was part of an exciting “green house” project in the Portsmouth, New Hampshire area.  The house was designed to be a “net zero” home, consuming less energy than it produces for the family of two that lives there. Turns out our New Hampshire television station, WMUR, and its program “New Hampshire Chronicle” has now done a feature on it, so you can see how this innovative house looks inside and out. Check out this video and, here and there, you’ll catch a glimpse of the floors underpinning all the quality, green features of this home.

The floor is made of boards reclaimed from a horse barn in New Yorka and are FSC Certified 100 percent Reclaimed Antique Long Leaf Heart Pine in Premium Grade, using 3- to 9-inch random widths. They were finished with our Amber Custom Coat prefinish because of its no-voc content. The homeowners installed it themselves.

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. The folks over at EHow.com have provided a wonderul overview of Pine flooring options, in their natural, reclaimed and engineered state.  Check out what they have to say, and then you might want to see what we say in this video overview below of the Pine that we use here at Carlisle.  We also have a good overview of all our possibilities here.
