It has been a big year for Gemini Industries, Inc. as well as the coatings industry. We’ve seen wood finishes take over the spotlight, technologies rise and new design trends introduced. Every year, a few standout finishes rise to the top for many of those reasons. As finishers looked for aesthetics, durability, versatility and next-generation performance, these three products are the finishes that defined our year and became the most trusted choices across industries.

EVO® Eclipse has quickly become the go-to interior wood coating system for cabinet makers, furniture builders and millwork shops. Its water-based formula is safe, green, low-odor and low-VOC and delivers outstanding clarity, durability and ease of application.
