Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs high-performance parking garage flooring and traffic coatings across Vancouver, BC & Canada. Our systems are designed to withstand heavy vehicles, prevent water damage, resist chemicals, and keep garages safe and low-maintenance.
Protect your parking structure and extend concrete service life with high-performance epoxy and polyurethane traffic coating systems from Priority One Epoxy Flooring. Serving Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the BC Interior, our traffic deck membranes and waterproofing solutions are engineered to resist heavy vehicle loads, salt and chemical exposure, water ingress, and freeze-thaw cycles. Whether you need new construction coatings or a full parkade restoration, our multi-layer systems deliver long-term protection, improved safety, and reduced lifecycle costs.
Parking decks and parkades are engineered structures that suffer constant wear and exposure. Vehicle traffic, frequent turning and braking forces, fuel and oil spills, de-icing salts, and moisture create an aggressive environment for concrete and reinforcing steel. Over time, water ingress and chloride exposure cause corrosion of rebar and post-tension cables, leading to concrete spalling, delamination, and structural deterioration. Professional traffic deck coatings and waterproof membranes form a seamless barrier that stops water penetration, protects concrete from chloride attack, and provides a slip-resistant surface for both vehicles and pedestrians. Priority One Epoxy Flooring specializes in practical, proven coating systems tailored to the needs of each structure — from podiums and ramps to exposed top decks.
Addressing these issues early reduces long-term repair costs and extends the service life of the structure by many years. Our approach is to diagnose root causes — not just treat symptoms — and to deliver durable, value-driven solutions that match the building owner’s budget and operational constraints.
Epoxy systems are often used as primers and base coats because of their excellent adhesion and chemical resistance. When broadcast with quartz or aggregates, epoxy creates a hard, skid-resistant surface ideal for ramps, covered decks, and areas exposed to oil and fuel. Epoxy is cost-effective and pairs well with flexible top coats where movement is limited.
Polyurethane membranes bring flexibility, UV stability, and strong weather resistance. They are the go-to choice for exposed top decks and surfaces subject to thermal and structural movement. In many projects we use epoxy primers with polyurethane finishes, combining adhesion with flexibility for the best service life.
For projects that need fast turnaround (retail garages, strata buildings with limited downtime), polyaspartic systems cure quickly and allow reopening in 24–48 hours. These systems provide durability and UV resistance and are excellent in phased works where access must be maintained.
When leaks threaten interior spaces below a deck, we install multi-layer waterproof membranes with primers, reinforcing layers, and top coatings to ensure long-term watertight performance. These systems are mandatory on top decks that protect occupied spaces beneath.
Priority One Epoxy Flooring follows a rigorous, documented process for every traffic deck project. This ensures predictable outcomes and warranty-level performance:
We coordinate phasing and traffic control to minimize disruption. For strata and commercial owners we prepare tenant notices and work with property managers to keep the facility operational whenever possible.
A downtown mixed-use property experienced active water leaks and concrete spalling across five parking levels. Priority One Epoxy Flooring performed a full assessment, removed failed membranes, and implemented a staged restoration program. Work included concrete patching, shot blasting for profile, epoxy primers, a reinforced waterproof layer, aggregate broadcast for slip resistance, and a UV-stable polyurethane top coat on exposed decks. Over a six-week phased schedule we kept sections open while delivering watertight decks and a durable finish. The owner reported reduced complaints, no further leaks, and an expected service life extension of over 15 years.
Priority One Epoxy Flooring serves commercial, strata, municipal, and private clients across British Columbia, including Metro Vancouver (Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam), the North Shore, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island (Victoria, Nanaimo), and interior regions such as Kelowna and Kamloops. We mobilize crews and materials quickly for emergencies and coordinate long-term projects with local trades and property managers.
With professional installation and proper maintenance, traffic deck coatings can last 10–20 years or more. Lifespan depends on exposure, traffic intensity, and how thoroughly underlying concrete repairs were completed.
Yes — once we perform necessary concrete repairs and joint sealing, waterproof membranes prevent further water ingress. Leaks originating from substrate degradation require repair first; coatings are part of a full restorative solution.
Epoxy is typically harder and offers excellent chemical resistance and adhesion; polyurethane is more flexible and UV-stable. We often pair epoxy primers with polyurethane top coats to combine the best properties of both systems.
We plan work in phases to reduce closures. Fast-cure polyaspartic systems can reopen in 24–48 hours; full membrane projects may require longer localized closures. We coordinate with property managers and post clear signage for safety.
We replace or reseal failing expansion joints with flexible urethane joint systems designed to accommodate movement while maintaining watertight integrity. Proper joint detail is critical for long-term performance.
Yes. We provide material and workmanship warranties appropriate to the system installed. Warranty terms vary by product selection and scope; we include documentation at project completion.
