William & Henry Wide Plank Floors Information

Based in Swanzey, New Hampshire, William & Henry Wide Plank Floors handcrafts both solid wide plank flooring and engineered plank flooring in all wood types, textured or smooth, prefinished or unfinished, traditional or on trend—creating a range of affordable options for every look. Don Carlisle, William & Henry's founder and president, has had a passion for wood for more than 40 years beginning when he was a young boy working alongside his father in New Hampshire, handcrafting wide plank flooring for Carlisle Restoration Lumber, the family business his parents had started in 1972. Don took over the company in 1991, later changing the name to Carlisle Wide Plank Floors to better reflect the nature of the business. Within a decade, it had transformed the wood flooring industry, and the demand for wide plank floors grew nationwide. By the time Don sold it in 2006, it was a major producer and a national brand. After several years, Don was drawn back to his roots, back to the days when he would work with one customer at a time, getting to know each family and crafting every floor by hand, and he built a team of wood flooring professionals at William & Henry with the same beliefs and way of doing business. Every one of us at William & Henry likes the one-on-one relationships with our customers, with our sawyers, and with our craftsmen. And your floor will reflect our attention to detail—from our first conversation to the last finishing nail. We make solid wood and engineered wide plank wood floors out of: Old Growth Eastern White Pine [The Original Wide Plank Floor], Southern Longleaf Heart Pine [Crosby Heart Pine], Northern Ash, New England Yellow Birch, Native Black Cherry, Sugar Maple, New England Red Oak, Black Walnut, and reclaimed woods in Heart Pine, Chestnut, Oak, Barn Siding, and Eastern White Pine.
