Yes. Our curated colors distill popular looks into cohesive, ready-to-order palettes. From European farmhouses to contemporary lofts, each collection reflects a specific aesthetic and design intent—yet remains customizable.

Carlisle originated from a desire to replicate the wide, long planks of 18th-century New England homes. While we honor that heritage, we incorporate modern innovations in adhesive technology, finishing systems, and milling precision to ensure our floors perform beautifully in today’s environments. 

At Carlisle, every floor is crafted one board at a time. Our craftsmen don’t simply inspect planks, they shape, sand, and finish each one by hand, even formulating custom colors to bring out the wood’s natural beauty. This hands-on artistry ensures every board is unique, yet together they create a floor of seamless harmony.

At Carlisle, each board is milled to order, using slow-grown timber sourced from select regions known for density and character. Unlike mass-produced flooring, our process emphasizes board-by-board evaluation, precision milling, and artisanal finishing.

Our floors are made with solid or thick engineered wear layers, ensuring they can be refinished multiple times over generations. Combined with timeless aesthetics and rare timber, this durability transforms each floor into a legacy piece that grows in value, both sentimentally and financially. 

Every consultation begins with an understanding of your design goals, performance needs, and architectural details. You’ll work with a dedicated Design Consultant who advises on species, width, finish, and structure. You can also request custom samples to evaluate in your home’s lighting and context. 

Yes. You have full control over species, cut style, plank width (up to 20”), grade, texture, and color. Your floor is designed around how you live, with options tailored for high traffic, pets, radiant heat, and specific design palettes.
