Carlisle Wide Plank Floors is marking its 60th anniversary. Founded in 1966 as Carlisle Restoration Lumber, the company began by crafting wide plank floors that reflected the scale and character of historic New England homes.
Over the decades, Carlisle has expanded well beyond its restoration roots while remaining focused on made-to-order wood flooring. Today, the company partners with homeowners, interior designers, architects, builders, and developers to create solid and engineered floors for residential and commercial spaces, tailored through species, grade, width, texture, color, finish, and construction.
“Sixty years later, we still believe the material matters, the details matter, and a floor should become part of the home for generations,” said Chris Sy, president of Carlisle. “What has changed is the range of possibilities we can offer and the ways we can help our clients bring their vision to life.”
The anniversary follows Carlisle’s Curated Palette of Colors being named a 2026 Luxe RED Awards National Product Winner in the Flooring Collection category.
Carlisle said it has crafted floors for thousands of homes and commercial spaces worldwide while continuously expanding its product offerings, customization capabilities and manufacturing expertise. The company added it has continued to evolve through advancements in manufacturing, flooring construction, finishing techniques, and design personalization while remaining committed to made-to-order craftsmanship.
