Appalachian Flooring

 
As one of the leading manufacturers of both solid and engineered hardwood flooring in Canada, Appalachian Flooring in Toronto is dedicated to providing consumers with high quality hardwood that appeals to a wide range of design aesthetics
 

For over 15 years, the name Appalachian Flooring has been synonymous with luxurious hardwood and superior quality. The breathtaking beauty of our surroundings, including the Appalachian mountain range, inspires their products. Their wide range of rich hardwoods brings the natural beauty found outside, into your home and that allows you to enjoy nature every day. 

Their name pays homage to one of the most exquisite areas of North America, running from Canada’s eastern seaboard to central Alabama, which houses a wide array of renowned hardwood species including black walnut, cherry, hard maple, red oak, white oak, yellow birch, and hickory. Local workers harvest the majority of their materials from this area before sending them to production facilities, also located in the Appalachians. Built in 2000, their primary facility is in Cowansville, Quebec, while their engineered facility, opened in 2012, is located in North Troy, Vermont. At Chestnut Flooring in Toronto, Appalachian Flooring is among the high quality products offered. They have secured their position as one of the premier hardwood flooring producers in North America.

The company has patented it’s revolutionary Evershine™ finish, which provides exceptional protection and resistance to wear for your floors. It allows your floors to be both beautiful and resilient due to it’s phenomenal capacity to retain its gloss and resist wear-through, thereby preserving the original beauty of the floor, and keeping your floor looking better, longer. Evershine offers customers: a 35 year warranty on wear, seven coats of UV cured polyurethane, Advanced Nanotechnology & Aluminum Oxide and Ultra-fresh anti-microbial additive, to ensure your satisfaction will last. Appalachian flooring takes pride in it’s environmental policy and aims to maintain it’s facilities to be as eco-friendly as possible by creating a manufacturing process that produces minimal waste, transforming wood residue into energy, and finding responsible suppliers for all their wood products.

Unique Manufacturing Process

One of the things that set Appalachian Flooring apart from the competition is their unique manufacturing process.

To ensure the upmost quality and that their production adheres to their strict environmental policy, they only work with sawmills and reputable forestry operators who follow responsible forestry regulations and environmental guidelines. In addition, they purchase only the best quality planks and logs for production in their state of the art manufacturing facility, which has the highest quality control standards in the industry.

The milled planks are then finished in their prefinishing factory, ensuring that each and every piece meets their high standards. They are committed to a practice of continuous improvement and strive for perfection, which means that they are constantly streamlining their production in order to develop hardwood flooring of the highest quality.

The Evershine™ Difference

After each plank passes quality control, it is then treated with Evershine™, Appalachian’s patented finish that has revolutionized hardwood flooring by providing a finish that is both beautiful and incredibly durable.

Comprised of a high concentration of aluminum oxide nanoparticles, which are suspended in a UV-cured polyurethane finish, Evershine™ is praised for its ability to provide a resilient finish that protects your floors from every day wear and tear. Because the abrasion-resistant aluminum oxide particles are on the top layer of the Evershine™ finish, the wood’s original appearance is preserved for years to come and is backed with a 35-year warranty. 

As a result, Appalachian hardwood is ideal for high traffic areas of the home as well as busy commercial spaces. In addition, this finish is UV stabilized which means that there is a reduction in colour change over time and it includes an ultra-fresh anti-microbial additive, which provides consumers with added peace of mind. On top of its practical qualities, Evershine™ also provides a gorgeous finish to your floors and the retention of its gloss maintains the original beauty for years to come.
