ST. LOUIS, August 21, 2018 - The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) has announced that Carlisle Wide Plank Floors in Stoddard, New Hampshire, has earned the NWFA/NOFMA Mill Certification.

"We are pleased to welcome Carlisle Wide Plank Floors as the newest member of the NWFA/NOFMA Program," says Michael Martin, President and CEO at NWFA. "Embracing transparency and third party certification in the wood flooring space has become a requisite to compete at a high level. The growing list of NWFA/NOFMA manufacturer members is an excellent example of this growing market demand."
