Carlisle Wide Plank Floors Brings in Watermill Texture for Wood Flooring
Carlisle Wide Plank Floors has announced the introduction of new wood flooring process called the Watermill texture. The new procedure used by the company brings the appearance of older floors whose wooden boards underwent a rough sawn process by utilizing riverside watermills.

These floors erected years back were never trimmed or scrapped smooth before the installation. The years of use and foot traffic have removed the saw marks from the board but they remained in the form of permanent waves in the board.
Carlisle as an original reproduction of the process retains the existing saw marks on its timber in the Watermill texture in comparison with the faux marks used on the boards to create such a pattern. In the process to soften the texture, the wooden planks are individually brushed and textures are added in places where needed to provide a more uniform worn look.
According to Chris Sy, Carlisle’s national sales director, the Watermill texture duplicates the old process and the floors are designed to have even the everlasting souvenir of a bent tooth in the sawyer’s watermill saw. He added that the brushing technique used on the boards provides them the natural worn-out look. The boards will have the same life span of other boards and serve for over 200 years.
