Birch engineered flooring combines the dramatic beauty of Birch hardwood with a floor that gives you more options for installation. Yellow Birch flooring offers an intriguing combination of color tones from blonde to warm amber, with grain patterns that range from subtle swirls to flame-like effects that seem to dance across each board. And engineered Birch flooring makes it possible to install hardwood floors in locations like basements where heat or humidity would normally cause solid wood floors to warp or crack.
Carlisle Wide Plank Floors offers lots of options for Birch engineered flooring. Read on to learn more about the beauty of wide plank Birch flooring from Carlisle and the benefits of engineered floors.

ExploreBirch engineered flooring is a surface where the floorboards are made with a veneer of Birch hardwood that is adhered to multiple layers of backing material. Engineered floors are intended for installation in locations where large fluctuations in temperature and humidity could cause solid hardwood floorboards to warp or split. Engineered floors are ideal for loft flooring that is installed on a concrete slab, for example. Engineered floors also make excellent sunroom flooring and mud room flooring, as the floorboards are more impervious to heat and moisture.
Carlisle engineered floorboards offer the most stable and durable core available on the market today. Our Birch engineered flooring is made with a much thicker top layer and more layers of backing material, and our engineered boards come in much wider widths than our competitors' floorboards.
Carlisle Birch engineered flooring is virtually indistinguishable from solid wood Birch flooring. It seems to me this should describe the look of the flooring more......such as Birch is defined by it's color variation where is each board contains a lighter white to golden sapwood running down the edge of the board that contrasts with he reddish brown heartwood that is displayed in varying contents down the middle of the board
While Birch and Oak floors have roughly the same density, Birch typically offers more color and grain variation than Oak, producing floors with more personality. Maple is considerably harder than Birch, but the grain patterns in Birch can help to camouflage scratches and dents more easily.
Yes. The same texturing techniques we apply to solid wood floors can be used on our Birch engineered flooring. Texture gives new floors the appearance of floors that are centuries old, recreating the marks left from early sawmills as well as the wear produced by time and foot traffic.
Whether you want a look that’s sleek, chic, or unique, we can provide a floor that fits your individual style.
Birch engineered flooring from Carlisle is installed just like solid wood flooring. With the delivery of your floor, you’ll also receive helpful tip sheets for your installer that cover the proper installation techniques for wide plank floors. Many installers prefer working with Carlisle floors, as longer and wider planks mean fewer boards to install overall.
Your Birch engineered floor can be installed with a combination of nails, staples and glue or with direct glue down methods – the method that’s right for your floor will depend on conditions in the room and the surface on which your floor will be installed. Throughout the delivery and installation process, your wide plank specialist will answer every question and guide you and your installer through the process of finishing your floor to maximize its beauty and durability.
Carlisle has been a leader in handcrafted solid wood flooring for more than 50 years. Today, we are among the leaders in engineered flooring as well. Our Birch engineered flooring is made with a thicker base – we use up to 11 layers of a suitable plywood substrate to create one of the most durable and stable cores on the market today. We also use a wear layer that is 2x to 3x thicker than most other products, ensuring your Birch engineered flooring will last longer and enabling you to refinish it up to 3 times in the future. Our engineered floorboards come in widths up to 10″ and lengths up to 12′ – much wider and longer than the industry standard of 3″ wide and 3′ long. And our SlowCraft™ manufacturing process ensures that each Birch engineered floor is manufactured to the highest quality.
