As the new president of commercial markets for EverStep, my mission is simple - to separate our company from the pack and become the premier supplier of luxury vinyl tile to the hospitality industry. What makes EverStep different? Unlike many of our competitors, we’re not a carpet company that does LVT as a side item. LVT is our only business, and by being focused, we will be able to offer better product, a knowledgeable sales team, and the best pricing available. There are two key drivers for specifying LVT in hospitality settings - it must be durable and it must be quiet. EverStep has the most durable and the quietest product on the market. By leading the industry in development, we will not only change the way designers look at LVT, we will make it very difficult for our competitors to keep up. I’m excited to be part of a leadership team with over 120 years of experience in the flooring business. Together, we will accomplish many great things. EverStep Hospitality Flooring.
