| How Evershield Helps Protect Wood Surfaces From Cracking |
| Evershield® Premium Acrylic Exterior Flat Paint |
 |
Evershield® is a premium acrylic exterior flat paint that provides maximum protection against film failures, such as cracking, blistering and peeling, water intrusion and UV color fade. It displays exceptional coverage and adhesion. Evershield is recommended for use on all properly prepared and primed wood, masonry, concrete and exterior metal.

| Dunn-Edwards "Evershield®" vs. the Competition |
When wood is exposed to heat and moisture, it expands and contracts, causing paints to weaken and crack.
Evershield contains layer upon layer of flat-shaped pigments that are bonded together with very small resin particles. This creates a solid, yet flexible paitn film that resists cracking and repels moisture.
Our competitors' products use larger, irregularly shaped pigments and fewer resin particles. This makes the paint less flexible and creates gaps that weaken it. As wood expands and contracts, the paint cracks, allowing moisture to seep down to the wood surface, causing damage.
