Heritage rooted incraft & tradition.
Before luxury had a name,it had a purpose.
In the quiet forests of New England, generations ago, master builders crafted homes from the land itself—selecting wide, resilient planks from the heart of towering trees.
This was the origin of American
flooring–honest, enduring, and artful.
Carlisle was founded to revive that nearly forgotten craft. Not as a replication, but as a revival—an intentional return to a time when floors were built to last lifetimes, when artisanship mattered more than speed, and when wood was cherished, not consumed.

Shaped bygenerations
Our story isn’t confined to a timeline—it’s etched into the hands and hearts of those who have shaped it alongside us. For decades, we’ve built lasting partnerships with foresters, sawyers, and craftspeople who share our deep reverence for the land. Together, we’ve revived nearly lost traditions and preserved the quiet knowledge passed down through families who have devoted generations to their craft.
Before a single board is milled, it’s shaped by the practiced eye that selects the perfect tree, the steady hand that honors its grain, and the values that have guided us for over half a century. What results is continuation of legacy, a reflection of mutual respect, and a testament to the timeless beauty that emerges when people and purpose are deeply intertwined.
