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."

"For over 50 years we have always provided the highest quality of flooring and exceeded industry standards in our manufacturing processes," says Chris Sy, President of Carlisle Wide Plank Floors.
