Welcome to Surface, a blog by Carlisle Wide Plank Floors. Join us in discussion about hardwood flooring wood grains & styles, home decor, green building products, trends and more.
Here’s a nice letter and photos that we received from client’s of ours. They purchased our FSC Antique Oak floors and beams.
Hello,
Wanted to let you know our room is done and came out really nice. Attached are some pictures of the room prior to the furniture coming in. I installed some puck lights in the beams so light is cast onto the ceiling when activated. One question my wife had is what do you recommend for general cleaning of the floors. Any product that you recommend would be appreciated. Thanks again for all your help in the entire process. We are very pleased.
Todd and Gina Neddermann
P.S…We recommend weekly vacuuming (or sweeping) and a capfull of white vinegar to warm water for damp mopping!

Carlisle’s Denver Design Center has been participating in the sponsor festivities with Mountain Living at their Natural Dream Home in Cordillera, Colorado. Our FSC Certified Antique Ash floors (with a stain) were used throughout the first level of the home. The home is now open through November, for tours!

Here’s a close up of the FSC Antique Ash with the brown stain, also check out the interview with sales person, Laura Leier! This article can be found in the November/December issue of
Mountain Living on page 70!

Here’s a nice letter that Adam Whitney, of our New York sales team, received today! This couple purchased our wide pine floors.
Hello Adam,
I hope this note finds you well.
Thank you for the kind note and the maple syrup. My wife and I go
through tons of the stuff, so it’s much appreciated.
I am doing less and less construction apart from home projects, as “my
other job” as a magazine editor is taking more and more of my time (and
generating more of a fulltime income). I still sing the praises of
Carlisle any chance I get, especially when folks visit our outbuilding
where the pine flooring looks great (and works great) over our radiant
flooring.
Thank you and I will be in touch about any future projects. Best, Brian

Here’s a few letters we received recently…
“Our floors look spectacular we love, love, love them! The reclaimed oak and barn siding is even more beautiful that we though it would be. It’s fantastic!”
From Emily and Michael in New Jersey
Tim and Lucy Hassett, also of New Jersey purchased our Hickory floors
“Floors exceeded our expectations. They are absolutely beautiful!”
Todd and Gina Nedderman of Clinton, Connecticut really love their Antique Oak floor
“Best floor I have ever seen, excellent product!”
Daniel and Robin Sambuco of Springfield, Pennsylvania write this about their Hickory floors.
“I researched five other companies. Carlisle had the best product, the best warranty. Customer service was very knowledgeable and a great help in picking out shipping, installation and finishing. Experts in the industry! Will definitely use you again”
Philip and Micheline Burger of Kansas purchased our Heart Pine floors for their home.
“The floor looks beautiful and really makes the space feel more open and larger!”
David Brunicardi of Berkley, California bought our Heart Pine floors.
“I’m a woodworker so the floors were perhaps the most important feature in the home my wife and I are building. Carlisle delivered on all aspects of choosing and purchasing a unique, quality floor, thanks!”

This is a nice letter and photo from Peter Switzer’s client! They used our wide pine floors in their Chestnut Oak Lodge.

This is a photo from their website of the lodge.
Hello Peter,
Since you were involved in our project, it’s with great pleasure that I can now proudly announce to you that our log cabin in the beautiful Shenandoah valley of Virginia is complete and ready for service! WOOHOO!
I know you’ve been hearing me talk about it for a long time now (like 3 years – who knew it would take so long!?!), so I wanted to make sure I filled you in on the finished product.
Please see this link for all the details: www.chestnutoaklodge.com
Yes, this cabin has its own web site (and blog!) because we have decided to rent it out for vacation rentals so others can enjoy it as much as we do. We have also added links to your company since we are so fond of you.
Thanks for sticking by me through this project – if you have ideas about what I should do next, please let me know. I am looking forward to the next one!
Talk to you soon,
Jeff A. Dunkelberger
