Carlisle Wide Plank Floors® is a unique wood flooring company. First and foremost, every Carlisle floor is custom—literally created one board at a time, tailored for each specific customer, by skilled New England craftsmen. As such, it is an authentic representation of an American folk art—a family heirloom to be treasured for generations. Secondly, we are a family operation, started in the early 1960s by Dale Carlisle, who made floors by first making friends. Now run by Dale's son Don, we remain that way today. In fact, we think of our customers as part of our extended family—a family that also includes small, local sawmills and sawyers who share our commitment to quality, plus second and third generation foresters who share our ideals in preserving the environment.
