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!

Appalachian Flooring has taken many steps to ensure that they are as environmentally friendly as possible. They are always looking to find new ways to to reduce their carbon footprint! Below are just a few examples.

  1. Their manufacturing process is designed to minimize waste.
  2. Then they transform all wood residue into energy! Which is then used to kiln dry their green lumber.
  3. As of 2009, Appalachian Flooring complies with all the requirements of the Forest Stewardship Council.
  4. Full compliance with the Lacey Act – which prohibits the importing of illegally harvested wood and wood products. Appalachian feels that it is their responsibility to ensure that all products are obtained from environmentally responsible sources.
  5. Appalachian is considered to have negligible amounts of formaldehyde in their wood.
  6. The finishes and adhesives used in the manufacturing of their solid and engineered flooring is considered VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) free!
