Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings: The Ultimate Guide for Durable and High-Performance Flooring

Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings — Vancouver & British Columbia

High-performance epoxy floor coatings for warehouses, retail, showrooms, healthcare, commercial kitchens and industrial facilities across Vancouver & BC—designed for durability, hygiene, safety and low maintenance.

Concrete in commercial and industrial spaces works hard. Forklifts, dollies, shopping carts, foot traffic, chemical spills and daily cleaning routines all take a toll. Bare or poorly coated slabs quickly start to dust, stain and chip—creating safety issues and costly downtime.

Professionally installed commercial epoxy floor coatings give Vancouver and BC businesses a seamless, chemical-resistant surface that is easier to clean, safer to work on and better looking for customers and staff. Below, we outline the core benefits, best-fit applications and how Priority One Epoxy Flooring approaches these projects.

Step-by-step commercial epoxy installation in Vancouver

Long-term performance is determined by the process as much as the product. Our installation sequence typically includes:

  1. Concrete surface preparation: mechanical diamond grinding or shot-blasting to remove contaminants and create a proper profile for adhesion, followed by repairs to cracks, spalls and joints.
  2. Primer & base coats: application of industrial-grade epoxy primers and build coats sized to your traffic and operating conditions.
  3. Broadcast & finish build: optional decorative flake or quartz is broadcast into wet epoxy, or smooth solid systems are built to the designed thickness.
  4. Topcoat & slip resistance: clear or pigmented topcoats tuned for abrasion resistance, chemical exposure and traction levels.
  5. Quality assurance & handover: detailed inspection plus written guidance on cure times, cleaning and maintenance.

Commercial & industrial epoxy flooring — FAQs

How long does commercial epoxy flooring last?

With professional surface preparation and regular cleaning, commercial epoxy floors commonly last 10–20 years in light-to-medium duty spaces and 5–10+ years in heavier industrial environments, especially when high-wear areas are re-topcoated before wearing through.

Do you install epoxy flooring in Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby?

Yes. Priority One Epoxy Flooring serves the entire Lower Mainland and much of British Columbia, including Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Langley, Abbotsford and beyond.

Can commercial epoxy floors be customized with colours or logos?

Absolutely. We offer solid colour systems, decorative flake, quartz and metallic finishes, along with line striping, safety markings and, where practical, embedded logos or brand colours.

Is epoxy flooring safe for commercial kitchens and food processing?

Yes. Seamless, non-porous epoxy and quartz systems are well suited to commercial kitchens and food facilities because they are easier to sanitize, resist common food and cleaning chemicals, and can be textured for improved traction in wet or greasy areas.
