Spring remodeling or construction projects in mind?
- Posted by
Spring is in the air and if that means you are thinking about a home renovation or construction project, now’s the time to consider whether there are ways you can make that a more environmentally friendly process. Using wide plank wood floors is one thing to consider, and we’re not just saying that because we sell them.
Reclaimed wood, which Carlisle gets from old structures mainly on the Eastern United States, can give another life to an existing material—saving on resources. Using reclaimed wood also means you’re avoiding sending the old materials to a landfill. Carlisle’s reclaimed floors have the third-party certification of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which makes sure our planks came from where we said they came from and that they adhere to certain standards.
You can read about our reclaimed options here.
When we’re not reclaiming old wood, we’re responsibly harvesting trees from well-managed forests.
Because we want to be part of the reclaimed wood industry and the forestry industry in a responsible fashion, we are members of the Forest Stewardship Council, National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, and Built Green. Our environmental commitments are spelled out in more detail here.
