Carlisle is part of “Green Life Smart Life” project in Rhode Island
A showcase home in Rhode Island, designed to showcase "green" products, will be featuring Carlisle's Wide Plan Floors very soon. The Green Life Smart Life (tm) home is intended to help homeowners and builders what is necessary for a home to achieve LEED-H certification. Carlisle is one of six new partners in the project, along with companies that offer eco-friendly roofs, stone, siding and deck options.
Carlisle Wide Plank Floors is supplying custom-made FSC-certified antique reclaimed hardwood wide plank floors to Green Life Smart Life. The wood for the floors will be harvested from an old abandoned barn in New England. Carlisle is working closely with the Green Life Smart Life team to find just the right local barn that captures the family essence of the project. The Carlisle floors will cover more than 45 percent of the home's floor surface area, which will qualify Green Life Smart Life for full LEED-H points. Reclaimed wood from old barns slated for demolition reduces the overall embodied energy of the floor, eliminates the need to harvest new trees, and provides the home with a beautiful design element.
