This month, Smith Bros. Floors is featuring another one of its great suppliers! This supplier is well known in the industry for its signature Evershine finish, its state-of-the-art kilns, and its desire to reduce their carbon footprint.
Evershine is Appalachian Floorings revolutionary finish. Most competitors choose to apply the abrasion resistant coat underneath the glossy finish – leaving floors dull after some wear and tear. With the Evershine finish, the top coat is created to be both abrasion resistant and glossy – leaving floors looking great for years to come!
