be refinished just like a Carlisle solid wood floor.
WIDER WIDTHS & LONGER LENGTHS
Engineered floors can be crafted up to 10” wide and lengths will
average 7’ long. The industry average is 3” wide and 3’ long. A
Carlisle engineered floor can reduce the number of seams in your
floor by up to 500%.

the benefits of a solid wood floor without sacrificing stability.

no measurable VOC’s and meet CARB2 (California Air Resource
Board) regulations for formaldehyde emissions.

thickness with enough of the highest quality Baltic Birch
backing—it really is that simple.
