Concourse Flooring — Aviation & Aerospace Flooring

Concourse & Aviation Epoxy Flooring — Vancouver & British Columbia

High-Performance • Aircraft-Rated • Long-Life Resinous Flooring by Priority One Epoxy Flooring

Aircraft hangars, avionics shops, maintenance bays and aerospace manufacturing facilities demand floors that combine extreme durability, chemical and impact resistance, and easy maintenance — while keeping a professional, high-gloss appearance. Priority One Epoxy Flooring supplies and installs engineered systems across Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan and BC. Our specifications withstand heavy aircraft wheel loads, concentrated point loads, hydraulic fluids, fuel spills, and frequent industrial washdowns.

We also build concourse flooring packages for airport terminals and passenger circulation areas — seamless, non-dusting, and easy to clean, with the slip resistance and line-marking needed for safe public movement.

Why Aviation & Aerospace Facilities Require Purpose-Built Flooring

Aviation environments expose floors to extreme loads from landing gear and tugs, chemical attack from fuels and hydraulic fluids, constant foot and wheeled traffic, ESD-sensitive work in avionics, and aggressive cleaning protocols. Ordinary concrete, tile or paint fail quickly — cracking, dusting, staining and delamination are common.

We prevent these failures with the right surface prep, high-compressive-strength toppings (polyurethane cement and high-build epoxy), optional ESD control for sensitive zones, and UV-stable topcoats. The result is fewer repairs, less downtime, predictable lifecycle cost, and a safer, cleaner workspace.

Application Areas — Where High-Performance Floors Matter Most

Aircraft Hangars & Aprons

Hangar floors must resist heavy static and dynamic wheel loads, fuel and oil, dropped tools and abrasion from ground-handling equipment. Urethane mortar and high-build epoxy provide the compressive strength and impact resistance needed for multi-bay hangars and private jet facilities, while keeping a seamless, oil-resistant surface that cleans fast and looks professional.

Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) Bays

MRO bays face concentrated loads, repetitive impacts and exposure to solvents and hydraulic fluids. Broadcast epoxy or quartz systems with high abrasion resistance and optional impact modifiers maintain a level, durable surface for jacks and stands. Slip-resistant textures and clearly marked safe zones improve technician safety.

Avionics Shops & ESD-Control Areas

Avionics work demands ESD control. Our anti-static/ESD epoxy systems meet specified surface resistivity targets and integrate with grounding networks. Pair with color-coded striping and demarcations to support quality and safety programs.

Parts Storage, Assembly & Fabrication Areas

Storage and assembly zones see heavy pallets and forklift traffic. High-build epoxy, polyaspartic or urethane-cement systems deliver a flat, dust-free surface for racking, conveyors and overhead cranes — reducing contamination risk.

Airport Terminals, Concourses, Lobbies & Public Areas

Public-facing areas balance aesthetics with performance. Decorative terrazzo-style epoxy, polished resin finishes, and high-gloss flake systems provide an attractive, easy-to-clean finish for reception areas and airport concourses, while staying durable under high foot traffic and wheeled luggage.

Flooring Systems We Install — Specified for Aviation & Aerospace

Urethane Mortar (Polyurethane Cement)

Go-to for hangars and heavy-duty MRO bays. Very high compressive and impact strength, excellent abrasion and thermal tolerance. Bonds to prepared concrete and cures to a hard, non-dusting surface that stands up to fuels, oils and hot washdowns.

High-Build Epoxy & Quartz Broadcast

Ideal where abrasion resistance, chemical protection and slip-resistance are critical. Add a UV-stable polyurethane topcoat for long-term color stability and cleanability.

ESD & Anti-Static Epoxy Flooring

For avionics, electronics assembly and test areas. Engineered to specific resistance ranges and compatible with facility grounding. Easy to maintain and non-dusting.

Polyaspartic & Fast-Cure Systems

Rapid turnaround with return-to-service in 24–48 hours. UV-stable, chemical-resistant and glossy — a smart option for corridors, service bays and public-facing spaces needing speed.

Decorative & Terrazzo-Style Resin Finishes

Executive hangars and lobbies benefit from customizable metallic, flake and resin terrazzo. Premium look, slip-resistant, and simple to maintain.

Waterproofing, Cove Bases & Integrated Drainage

Where moisture control or containment matters, we add waterproof membranes, seamless cove, and trench drains to keep washdown water contained and protect sub-structures.

Our Installation Process — Engineered, Documented, Reliable

1. On-site consultation & testing: Moisture mapping, ESD testing, pH/adhesion checks, slab strength and distress mapping.
2. Substrate remediation: Spall repair, removal of contamination, saw-cut and seal joints, install flexible urethane joint systems, correct profile.
3. Surface preparation: Shot blasting or diamond grinding to the specified ICRI CSP profile; remove laitance and contaminants.
4. Primer & base coats: Prime and level to stabilize the slab and create a durable bond line.
5. System build-up: Install urethane cement, quartz/ceramic broadcast, ESD layers or polyaspartic per spec. Integrate cove, trenches and plates as needed.
6. Topcoats & markings: UV-stable polyurethane or polyaspartic, line striping, logos and demarcations; verify slip resistance.
7. Testing & turnover: Adhesion tests, surface resistivity (for ESD), coverage verification, final clean, QA and warranty paperwork.

We schedule phasing and traffic control to minimize disruption. For active hangars and terminal concourse flooring, we stage work so essential operations continue.

Case Study — Vancouver International Airport Maintenance Hangar

Situation: A maintenance hangar required full replacement after concrete failures, oil contamination and dusting caused downtime and safety issues. The client needed an ESD-capable solution and phased installation to keep bays operational.

Solution: Priority One Epoxy Flooring performed slab forensics, removed failed topping, repaired spalls and installed urethane-cement in heavy-use bays and a high-build quartz epoxy with ESD layers in avionics and parts assembly. Public corridors received UV-stable polyurethane. Walkways and safety striping separated work and pedestrian zones.

Outcome: Over 70% fewer floor-related maintenance calls, dusting eliminated, faster cleaning, and validated ESD performance to target ranges. Phased work maintained operations throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flooring system is best for an aircraft hangar?

For heavy-use hangars, polyurethane cement (urethane mortar) is common due to exceptional compressive strength, impact resistance and thermal tolerance. Quartz broadcast or high-build epoxy suit adjacent maintenance, storage and support spaces.

Can you install ESD flooring for avionics and test areas?

Yes. We install dissipative and conductive epoxy systems to targeted resistance ranges, tied into grounding networks. We test and document performance on-site.

How fast can we resume operations?

Fast-cure polyaspartics can reopen in 24–48 hours. Urethane cement and high-build epoxy typically need several days for full service strength. We phase work to keep critical bays open.

Can you install over existing coatings or damaged concrete?

Often, yes — after assessment and proper removal/remediation of failed layers or contamination. Correct shot blasting or grinding and repairs are essential for bond.

Do you provide warranties and maintenance documentation?

Yes. You’ll receive written warranties, QA reports, adhesion results, ESD records (if applicable), and tailored care instructions.
