Carlisle Wide Plank Specialists work with clients everyday to design beautiful floors but we realize that the end result will only be as good as the professional who installs it.  We recently had customer experience the drama and disappointment of working with an inexperienced installer.  Carlisle prides itself on having great relationships with all our customers so when The Fehrs in New Foundland needed help they called us right away and we called in our team of experienced Carlisle Preferred Installers. 

Find out how a Carlisle Preferred Installer helped out tThe Feht Family and how a preferred installer can help your project.

Carlisle “wins over” Skeptical Maine Builder

• Posted by

Wondering why Carlisle Pine floors appeal to homeowners and profesionals over other suppliers? Well here's a great story to fill you in.

Glen Ranager, veteran Carlisle Wide Plank Specialist, shared a great story with us today from a skeptical builder in Maine who worked with a Carlisle customer about a year ago.  At the time, the builder had discouraged his customer from Pine, but also from the wider planks.

Being from Maine, the proclaimed Eastern White Pine state, he has long had issues with the qaulity of the White pine flooring available to him.  The flooring he got locally was never dried right, it was milled poorly or he had stability problems.  All of these can lead to big problems with installation, finish, and performance. 

But thanks to a determined Boston homeowner who just had to have Wide Plank Eastern White Pine floors in his Maine lake house, we won him over and he called us back to get more flooring!

A new look “drifts” into Carlisle’s NH Showroom

The term "Driftwood" has been heard throughout the design community for many years now, and conures up images of the weathered grey appearance that is the hallmark of ocean front homes, wood remnants found along the beach, lobster traps and the like.  Today, design professionals want to replicate this look for their clients, but who wants to wait for years to do this?

Our Stoddard, NH showroom was ready for a makeover so what better way to test out this look!  So our expert finishers at Carlisle created a perfect treatment to achieve the driftwood look on 10-15" Wide Red Oak planks installed in our showroom.

Are you looking for this for your project?  Check out our photos and tips to create your look!
