A Carlisle floor is a personal expression, crafted one at a time, in collaboration with you. From wood species and plank width to texture, tone, and finish, every detail is yours to define. We listen closely, guide thoughtfully, and craft with intention, because true luxury lies in creating something no one else can.
Each floor is handcrafted from rare, responsibly sourced timber, selected and finished through our meticulous process. The result is a foundation for living beautifully. Distinctive, enduring, and unmistakably yours, reflecting the life lived on it and the story only you can tell.
The Carlisle Standard

Define Every Detail

Because no two Carlisle floors are alike.
Every Carlisle floor begins with intention—crafted, not manufactured—to reflect the unique vision of its space. Yet beneath the individuality of each design lies a shared standard: an unwavering commitment to quality, beauty, and craftsmanship.
From the species we select to the structure we engineer, the grade, width, texture, and color, we consider every element with precision. This is what defines a Carlisle floor, no matter its style or finish.
Color

Whether you select from our hand-curated palette or wish to create a one-of-a-kind hue, color is where your floor begins to take on its soul. Our Curated Colors are crafted to streamline the process without sacrificing individuality. For something truly personal, our Custom Color option allows us to develop a tone entirely around your vision, ensuring every detail reflects your unique aesthetic.

Species & Structure

Every Carlisle floor begins with exceptional raw material—center-cut from mature, slow-growth trees. Whether you choose solid or engineered construction, both formats offer the same visual beauty and 4mm wear layer, ensuring strength, stability, and long-term performance.

Grade & Character

From the refined clarity of Heirloom to the natural authenticity of Original, each Carlisle grade highlights the inherent personality of the wood. It's more than visual, it’s about aligning tone, texture, and variation with your design intent.

Board Width

Plank width dramatically shapes the tone of a space. From narrow boards that bring movement and rhythm, to wider formats that feel expansive and quiet, Carlisle offers consistent quality up to 20" widths—and even mixed-width layouts.

Format, Texture & Sheen

Classic planks or patterned layouts. Smooth surfaces or brushed textures. Super Matte or soft Satin finishes. This is where aesthetic comes to life, how the floor feels underfoot, reflects light, and adds architectural interest to the room.

Thickness & Finish

Carlisle floors are available in 5/8" or 3/4" thickness, balancing site conditions with longevity. Choose from factory-applied pre-finished options for efficiency, or site-finished for seamless integration and full customization.

Color is the most defining—and most versatile—element of a Carlisle floor. Each hue holds infinite possibilities, shaped by the nuances of species, cut, and finish, ensuring a floor as individual as the space it defines.

Color can be designed through two distinct paths

Solid vs. Engineered

Our engineered floors meet the same standard of excellence as our solid planks. Each board is constructed using the top 0.1% of hardwood, bonded to marine-grade Baltic birch for long-term integrity and beauty. Individually pressed up to five times, these floors offer the same visual and tactile experience as our solid wood.
