Hardwood floor Installation

More styles, fewer restrictions. Expertise when you need it.

Carlisle has over 50 years experience designing and crafting wide plank floors for installation throughout residential and commercial applications. We offer the most comprehensive selection of solid wood floors and engineered wood flooring to accommodate all of your installation needs. There is no “trick” to installing a Carlisle floor. In fact, many installers we work with prefer installing Carlisle floors because:

  • The floors available from Carlisle can be installed at, above or below grade
  • They are some of the best floors for installation on radiant heat, concrete slab or in waterfront environments
  • Wider, longer boards means there are fewer boards to install
  • They can be installed using a combination of nails, staples and/or glue, or direct glue down installation — all of which are industry-accepted installation methods.
  • Our prefinished wood floors save time because there is no sanding, staining or finishing required on site

Recommendations & Tips

Because conditions for each wood flooring project are unique, the ability to recommend one single installation method for all scenarios is not feasible. There are many variables involved with the installation of wood flooring, but one thing remains certain; if wood flooring is not installed properly nor in suitable environmental conditions, it will not perform properly, regardless of the high-quality nature of the flooring.
