ExploreNatural Birch hardwood flooring offers an intriguing combination of color tones with blonde outer edges and warm amber portions. Its varying grain patterns range from flame-like effects to subtle swirls.
Birch has a rating of 1260 on the Janka wood hardness chart – harder than Walnut or Cherry but softer than Maple or Hickory.
At Carlisle, customizing your Birch floor starts with selecting a grade, which determines the amount of variation in color and graining in the wood as well as the amount of knots, mineral streaks and ingrown bark you'll see. You can also customize your floor by choosing the width of the floorboards, and by texturing the wood to give it the appearance of an older floor. Staining your floor is also an option – we offer a virtually limitless variety of stain colors and can match the hue of nearly any item you send or bring to us.
While solid wood flooring uses floorboards cut from a single piece of hardwood, engineered floors are made with floorboards that have multiple layers of material glued together. Natural Birch engineered flooring is made with a top veneer of Birch that is adhered to multiple layers of a suitable plywood substrate. The result is a floorboard that's more resistant to changes in temperature and humidity, making it ideal for installation below grade, over concrete slabs and on radiant heating systems.
Whether you want a look that’s sleek, chic, or unique, we can provide a floor that fits your individual style.
When your natural Birch hardwood flooring is ready for delivery, we’ll wrap it in special material to protect it from moisture and pack it securely to protect it during transit. Our comprehensive packaging process, performed by a team of Carlisle experts, helps ensure damage-free delivery.
Installation of your natural Birch floor is similar to installing any other hardwood floor. But because your planks will be much wider and longer than commercial flooring, there will be far fewer planks to install. When you place your order for your floor, you’ll also receive helpful tip sheets that cover the proper installation techniques to maximize the beauty and durability of your new wide plank floor. Carlisle floors can be installed using a combination of nails, staples, and glue, or with direct glue down methods – all of which are standard practice in the industry.
