Winery, Brewery & Cidery Flooring Solutions

Brewery, Winery & Cidery Flooring — Vancouver & British Columbia

Seamless • Sanitary • Heavy-Duty Resinous Flooring by Priority One Epoxy Flooring

Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs engineered resin floors for beverage producers across Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, and BC’s wine country.

Our systems resist acids, sugars, and alcohol. They handle hot water, frequent washdowns, and heavy rolling loads. The seamless finish cleans fast and helps keep operations compliant.

Why Beverage Facilities Need Purpose-Built Flooring

• Harsh exposure: Organic acids, sugars, alcohol, and degreasers break down unprotected concrete and tile.
• Thermal shock: Hot washdowns and cold rooms stress slabs and grout, causing cracks and delamination.
• Moisture & hygiene: Porous joints trap soils and microbes, increasing cleaning time and risk.

We specify seamless systems that resist chemical attack, tolerate thermal cycling, and integrate coves and drainage. This reduces downtime and supports HACCP/CFIA-aligned sanitation and local health inspections in BC.

Application Areas — Where These Floors Matter Most

Brewhouse & Mash Tun Areas

Daily heat, steam, and sugary residues demand robust, sanitary surfaces.

• Urethane mortar for thermal shock and bond strength
• Integral coves for hose-down cleaning
• Drain detailing for fast, hygienic washouts

Fermentation & Tank Rooms

Humidity, CO₂, and wet conditions require predictable traction and easy cleaning.

• Broadcast epoxy or urethane mortar with medium texture
• Fine-tuned slip resistance for foot and cart traffic
• Durable finishes for refrigerated-to-warm cycles

Bottling, Packaging & Cold Storage

Lines, forklifts, and point loads call for abrasion-resistant builds.

• High-build epoxy or urethane cement for wear control
• Low dusting to protect products and equipment
• Level, cleanable surface around conveyors

Barrel Rooms, Cellars & Aging Areas

Rolling barrels, leaks, and humidity demand robust, low-maintenance floors.

• Urethane mortar or high-strength broadcast systems
• Closed-pore topcoats to resist stains
• Easy seasonal deep cleans

Tasting Rooms & Retail Spaces

Front-of-house areas need durable beauty.

• Decorative flake epoxy or terrazzo-style finishes
• UV-stable polyurethane topcoats
• Warm colorways that hide day-to-day wear

Flooring Systems We Install — Built for Food & Beverage

Urethane Mortar (Polyurethane Cement)

• Excellent for hot washdowns and organic acids
• Bonds to properly profiled concrete; non-dusting surface
• Ideal for brewhouse, tanks, and barrel areas

High-Build Epoxy & Broadcast Systems

• Durable, chemically resistant, and cleanable
• Great for bottling lines, storage, and secondary processing
• Finish with UV-stable polyurethane for long-term clarity

Polyaspartic & Fast-Cure Solutions

• Rapid return to service (often 24–48 hours)
• Suitable for corridors, retail, and small production zones
• Resists chemicals and UV exposure

Antimicrobial Additives & Hygienic Coatings

• Supports HACCP-aligned sanitation plans
• Inhibits microbial growth on the coating film
• Complements, but does not replace, SOP cleaning

Waterproof Membranes & Cove Bases

• Protects structure in suspended or sensitive areas
• Seamless coves and trench drains for hygiene
• Reduces bacteria harborage points

Top Wineries in British Columbia (Design Inspiration)

We work throughout the Okanagan and beyond. These wineries blend guest spaces with production areas where high-performance flooring helps with hygiene and presentation.

Our Installation Process — Detailed & Documented

We start with diagnostics and design the system to address root causes — not just symptoms.

1. Site consultation & testing: Moisture, pH, adhesion pulls, slab integrity.
2. Substrate remediation: Spall repair, crack routing/injection, joint rebuilds.
3. Surface preparation: Shot blast or grind to the required profile; HEPA cleanup.
4. Primers & base coats: Moisture-tolerant primers and scratch coats.
5. System build-up: Urethane mortar or epoxy layers, aggregates, coves, drains.
6. Topcoats & protection: UV-stable polyurethane, antimicrobial or decorative options.
7. QA & handover: Adhesion checks, coverage logs, warranty and care documents.

We phase work to keep production moving and coordinate traffic control and tenant notices.

Case Study — Okanagan Boutique Winery

An Okanagan winery faced grout failure, cracked concrete, and odour in barrel and process areas. We removed failing tile, repaired the slab, and installed a urethane-mortar system with integral coves and new trench drains.

Tasting rooms received decorative flake epoxy with a clear, UV-stable polyurethane topcoat. Results: faster cleaning, no odour complaints, and a more professional guest space. Health inspectors approved the seamless transitions and documented sanitation controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flooring is best for a winery production area?

Urethane mortar tolerates thermal shock, organic acids, and heavy rolling loads. Epoxy broadcast systems suit cooler ancillary zones.

How long does installation take and when can we resume production?

Small areas with fast-cure systems can reopen in 24–48 hours. Full urethane-mortar builds take longer; we phase work to keep production running.

Can you install over existing tile or coatings?

Often, yes. We remove failed materials, prepare the slab, and repair defects to ensure strong adhesion.

Are resinous floors sanitary enough for HACCP protocols?

Yes. Seamless floors with coved bases remove grout lines and joints. Antimicrobial additives are available to support your SOP.

Do you provide warranties and documentation?

Yes. You receive a written warranty, QA records (e.g., adhesion tests, coverage logs), and a care guide.
