Aircraft Hangar Epoxy Flooring

Aircraft Hangar Epoxy Flooring — Vancouver & British Columbia

Seamless • Heavy-Duty • Chemical & Jet Fuel Resistant Flooring Solutions

Aircraft hangars require floors that can withstand the toughest industrial demands. Priority One Epoxy Flooring provides engineered epoxy and urethane-cement flooring systems specifically designed for aviation facilities across Vancouver, BC, and throughout British Columbia. Our floors resist jet fuel, hydraulic fluids, heavy equipment, and constant forklift or wheeled traffic while maintaining a smooth, seamless, and slip-resistant surface that supports safety, efficiency, and long-term durability.

Why Aircraft Hangars Need Purpose-Built Flooring

Hangars are exposed to extreme conditions that can quickly degrade standard concrete or tile. Jet fuel, hydraulic fluids, lubricants, and other chemicals create a highly corrosive environment. Heavy aircraft, maintenance equipment, and forklift traffic introduce constant point loads and abrasion, while repeated cleaning and chemical washdowns increase the risk of floor spalling, cracks, or surface failure.

Priority One Epoxy Flooring designs systems that provide seamless coverage, chemical resistance, and non-slip surfaces. Integrated coves, drains, and floor transitions protect walls and improve cleaning efficiency, meeting safety standards and supporting operational compliance in aviation facilities across BC.

Application Areas — Where Our Flooring Matters Most

Maintenance & Aircraft Storage Bays

Aircraft maintenance areas are subjected to fuel spills, hydraulic fluid leaks, and heavy tool loads. Our epoxy and urethane-cement systems resist chemical attack, support wheel loads, and maintain a smooth surface for safe, efficient operations.

Fuel & Service Stations

Fuel handling zones are particularly challenging. Flooring must withstand hydrocarbon spills, thermal shock, and heavy traffic from tugs and refueling vehicles. Seamless epoxy floors with chemical-resistant topcoats prevent substrate damage and reduce downtime for repairs.

Workshops & Hangar Corridors

Maintenance workshops, hangar corridors, and tool storage areas benefit from high-build epoxy or urethane mortar floors that provide abrasion resistance, chemical stability, and slip-resistant surfaces for staff safety.

Offices & Observation Areas

Visitor-facing areas or hangar offices require a balance of aesthetics and durability. Decorative epoxy or polished resin finishes offer a premium look while remaining highly functional and easy to maintain.

Flooring Systems We Install — Engineered for Aviation

Urethane Mortar (Polyurethane Cement)

Ideal for areas with heavy mechanical loads and chemical exposure, urethane mortar systems provide thermal shock resistance, superior bond strength, and durability. They are seamless, non-dusting, and withstand hot water washdowns, making them perfect for hangar floors, maintenance bays, and fuel handling zones.

High-Build Epoxy & Quartz Broadcast Systems

Broadcast epoxy floors combine abrasion resistance and chemical protection. Quartz aggregates create slip-resistant surfaces while UV-stable polyurethane topcoats ensure long-lasting performance and cleanable surfaces in workshop and corridor applications.

Fast-Cure Polyaspartic Flooring

When downtime must be minimized, fast-curing polyaspartic coatings allow return-to-service in 24–48 hours. These systems are perfect for phased installations or areas where operational disruption is not acceptable.

Waterproof Membranes & Cove Bases

Moisture-sensitive slabs, basement-adjacent hangars, or areas over occupied spaces benefit from multi-layer waterproof membranes. Seamless coves and integrated trench drains improve hygiene, reduce chemical buildup, and extend floor life.

Our Installation Process — Precise, Documented, Reliable

Each project starts with a thorough site assessment, including moisture testing, joint inspection, and mapping of areas prone to delamination. We address the root cause of floor failure before applying new systems, ensuring long-term performance.

1. Site Consultation & Testing: Concrete strength, moisture content, and adhesion pull tests.
2. Substrate Repair: Crack injection, spall repair, and joint replacement with flexible urethane systems.
3. Surface Preparation: Shot blasting or diamond grinding to remove contaminants and achieve proper profile.
4. Primer & Base Coat: Stabilize and prepare the slab with compatible primers and scratch coats.
5. System Build-Up: Broadcast aggregates, urethane mortar or epoxy layers, coves, and integrated drains.
6. Top Coats & Protection: UV-stable polyurethane, antimicrobial finishes, or decorative coatings as required.
7. Quality Control & Handover: Adhesion testing, coverage verification, and documentation including warranties.

Phased installations are available to keep hangar operations ongoing. Our teams coordinate with facility managers to minimize downtime and maintain safety during installation.

Case Study — Vancouver Private Aircraft Hangar

A private hangar in Vancouver experienced fuel spills, chemical etching, and concrete spalling in maintenance bays. Priority One Epoxy Flooring removed damaged layers, repaired the substrate, and installed a urethane mortar system with integrated coves and drains. Maintenance areas now resist chemical attack, support heavy aircraft traffic, and reduce cleaning time. The facility manager reported improved safety and operational efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flooring is best for hangar maintenance areas?

Urethane mortar or high-build epoxy broadcast systems are recommended for heavy-duty hangar floors due to chemical resistance, thermal shock tolerance, and abrasion protection.

How long does installation take?

Fast-cure polyaspartic systems allow traffic in 24–48 hours. Full urethane mortar installations typically require several days; phased work can maintain operational continuity.

Can you install over existing concrete or coatings?

Yes — proper substrate assessment, remediation, and surface preparation are essential for long-lasting adhesion.

Are epoxy floors safe and non-slip?

Our broadcast systems provide slip-resistant surfaces while maintaining smooth, easy-to-clean areas for staff and visitors.

Do you provide warranties and documentation?

Yes — written warranties, QA testing, adhesion reports, and maintenance guidelines are included with every project.
