It was the Driving force behind the South’s post Civil War industrial revolution Established the social status of hard wood floors Primary wood used in early 1900s Southern homes, mills, and factories. Not to be confused with Shortleaf Yellow Pine, a fast growing timber that is used today for plywood, pulp and pressure treated lumber.
What makes Longleaf Heart Pine so special and prized by our customers is the deep amber-colored patina which darkens and becomes more beautiful as the wood ages. If a floor rich in history, family tradition, and color is your idea of the perfect surface for your home, ask for a sample of Carlisle's Old Growth Heart Pine today.

The new Design Center in Chicago is now up and running and our new team members are eager to introduce Carlisle Wide Plank Floors to the area. The staff is back home now after an extended training period here in New Hampshire and the Center still smells of fresh paint. Here's what they have to say about their experience so far:
Happy Spring! Being natives of the Chicago area we are all ecstatic about joining the family and sharing the rich Carlisle tradition with everyone in the neighborhood! Each of us spent a substantial amount of time in Stoddard, NH, and being there for three months gave me the chance to meet life long friends. The Chicago team has a diverse background, but we all treasure the importance of learning about and spending quality time with our customers, which is the essence of Carlisle's culture. Discovering as much as we have about Old Growth timbers, we are thrilled to share the wealth with everyone we meet! We hope you will visit our new design center, at 445 N. Wells Suite 1N in the heart of Chicago's design district, to see all that we have to offer.
See you soon!
