Company Profile:
Dale Carlisle started his business from a small home hobby and established it into the company that it is today. In the beginning, he milled each floor by hand, delivered the floors in his truck and personally installed them. Eventually, Dale built up a reputation for providing quality wide plank flooring.
In addition to his residential customers, Dale Carlisle found himself in demand by professional restorers of historic homes, museums, old government buildings and landmarks of all kinds. He was able to create custom surface treatments and stains that match boards 300 years old. Because the majority of the homes built in the USA in the 1600s-1700s used use pine wide plank flooring, Carlisle Wide Plank Floors is the go-to vendor for historically accurate restoration projects.
Carlisle Wide Plan Floors is an expert on tree selection, harvesting, drying, milling and manufacture of wood floors. Carlisle Wide Plank Floors prides itself on the personal relationships with satisfied customers it has built over the years.
Product Profile:
Carlisle Wide Plank Floors are crafted one board at a time. Each board comes from the heartwood to ensure maximum stability, i.e., boards that won’t cup or twist, and which aesthetically have the densest and most beautiful vertical grain. Next comes a two-stage curing process. At the Carlisle mill, woodworking craftsmen examine each board to decide which side has the most potential. They mill the other side with stress reliefs to increase the board’s stability once installed.
Finally, the boards are milled again, this time on freshly sharpened planners so sharp that the boards will not require sanding afterwards.
The master craftsmen of Carlisle Wide Plank Floors, perform another round of quality control and to weed out and boards that have any flaws or imperfections after milling.
After milling, the wood floors go to our shop for pre-finishing and for any other custom surface treatments required.

Stainless Steel Cable Railing
Stainless steel railing systems are a very affordable choice. This type of railing is favored in areas where view of the landscape or ocean would be impaired by other types of railings. Wood railings with spindles, for example, can obstruct views where as cables can nearly disappear. Glass railing provide a similar function however cable railings are replacing glass panel railings due to their lower maintenance and reduced sun glare. Cable railings were initially favored for contemporary architecture however they have become popular on all types of homes due to the variety of cable rail post styles now available.

About Andiroba:
Andiroba is almost thirty-six percent harder than cedar, is just under one percent softer than either movingui or heart pine, it is roughly ninety-four percent as hard as red oak, roughly eighty-four percent as hard as hard maple, and is about two thirds as hard as either hickory or pecan.
Andiroba is a tropical wood from the Amazon Rain Forest and from Central and South America and the Carribean with a texture similar to true mahogany. It has a straight and sometimes interlocked grain and is medium to somewhat coarse in texture.
The sapwood of andiroba is pink when freshly cut but quickly turns to a pale grayish-brown after exposure. The reddish-brown heartwood varies in shade from medium to dark, adding a cozy and warming feeling to any room. Andiroba is also rated as both very easy to work with and durable, with marked resistance to insects and decay ensuring the long lasting enjoyment of an Andiroba floor.

Janka Hardness:

Country of Origin: Agentina, Paraguay, Brazil
About Amendoim:
Like Brazilian Cherry and other exotics, Amendoim is very strong, showing top ratings on the Janka hardness scale – 1912, which is above maple and red oak (1260), and equivalent to Santos Mahogany. Brazilian Walnut is considered the strongest at 3680.
With its lustrous appearance, Amendoim flooring has a rich, deep collection of reddish-brown and tan hues that draw the eye in and keep it there. Amendoim wood’s yellow-brown tones combine with the wood’s luster and wavy grain to create its inherent visual warmth. Amendoim flooring has more swirl and ring patterns than seen with Brazilian Cherry, but much like its sister species, its soft brush strokes look as though they were painted on with watercolor. An Amendoim floor would be perfectly suited for tan or beige furniture sets.
Color Change: Amendoim exhibits a medium degree of color change as this wood will mute and become a more uniform, darker tan-brown with reddish highlights over time.

About Red Adler:
Red Alder is the largest species of alder in North America and one of the largest in the world. It grows from southeast Alaska south to central coastal California, nearly always within about 200 km of the Pacific coast, except for an extension 600 km inland across northern Washington into northernmost Idaho.
Red alder, a relative of birch, is almost white when freshly cut but quickly changes on exposure to air, becoming light brown with a yellow or reddish tinge. Heartwood is formed only in trees of advanced age and there is no visible boundary between sap and heartwood. The wood is fairly straight-grained with a uniform texture.
Alder can have two natural colors, depending on what finish is used. Water white lacquer and blonde shellac will make it a light gold, while any amber-toned finish will make it red in tone, almost like early cherry. It is called “poor man’s cherry” because of this coloring. However, it does not darken over time like cherry.
Due to increasing demand for commercial use, red alder prices on the West Coast actually are competitive with the cost of many Eastern hardwoods of its caliber.
