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.
