Frequently Asked Questions About Epoxy Flooring in Prince George
Is epoxy flooring good for cold climates like Prince George?
Yes, epoxy flooring is ideal for cold climates when installed with the right moisture mitigation and temperature-cured resins. We use systems designed for Northern BC’s freeze-thaw cycles, with UV-stable and salt-resistant topcoats that hold up in garages and commercial settings year-round.
How long does epoxy flooring last in residential garages?
With proper surface prep and a protective topcoat, residential epoxy floors in Prince George typically last 10–15 years or longer. Regular cleaning and topcoat maintenance can extend the lifespan significantly, even with exposure to snow, salt, and oil from vehicles.
Do you offer anti-slip options for commercial floors?
Yes. We offer multiple slip-resistant textures, including quartz broadcast, aluminum oxide additives, and flake systems. These are ideal for commercial kitchens, shops, walkways, and healthcare facilities where traction is essential.
Can you install epoxy over damaged or old concrete?
Yes. We begin by diamond grinding the existing surface, repairing cracks or spalls, and using primers that bond to worn concrete. Whether it’s an old warehouse or aging garage slab, we can resurface and restore it with industrial-grade epoxy or polyaspartic coatings.
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Prince George?
Costs range from $6–$12 per sq. ft. for residential and light commercial floors. Heavy-duty industrial coatings or decorative metallic systems may cost more depending on the design, square footage, and substrate condition. We offer free site inspections to provide an accurate quote.
What is the best epoxy system for a mechanic shop?
For auto shops and repair bays, we recommend chemical- and abrasion-resistant epoxy systems with a polyaspartic topcoat. These coatings handle oil, fuel, hot tire pickup, and impact from tools or dropped equipment.
