- Decorative & textured finishes
- Phased installation planning
Practical Flooring for Business Interiors
A commercial floor that suits the way you work
Your floor has to look right, stand up to daily use and fit your cleaning routine. A showroom may need an even colour and controlled sheen. A busy entrance needs a texture suited to wet shoes. A stock room needs a finish selected for carts and repeated deliveries.
Our commercial epoxy flooring service covers new concrete and existing floors in Vancouver and Metro Vancouver. We assess the slab, discuss finish options and define the preparation, repairs and coating layers in a written quotation.
For renovations and tenant improvements, bring us your floor plan, finish requirements and opening date. We can review different rooms together and identify where they need different systems.

Retail stores & showrooms
Balance colour, sheen and decorative finish with customer traffic, display movement and cart wheels. Glazed storefronts also need a review of sunlight exposure and topcoat selection.
Retail flooring details →Offices, lobbies & corridors
Consider chair casters, reception traffic, glare and transitions to adjoining floors. Resin creates a hard surface; acoustic comfort and long periods of standing should also influence the choice.
Strata, storage & support rooms
Bike rooms, staff areas and utility spaces need practical cleaning and concrete protection. Specify texture for entrances and spill areas while keeping the surface manageable for the cleaning team.
Restaurants & wet service areas
A dining area and a hot, wet kitchen have different demands. Review grease, cleaning temperatures, drainage and cove details before selecting an epoxy or urethane-cement system.

Commercial epoxy and resin floor systems
The finished floor is a combination of preparation, primer, body coat, decorative material or aggregate, and any specified topcoat. Choose the complete system for the room’s conditions.
| System | Typical uses | What to review |
|---|---|---|
| Solid-colour epoxy | Corridors, stock rooms, support spaces and selected business interiors. | Slab repairs, coating thickness, traffic, texture and finish sheen. |
| Decorative flake | Shared building areas, staff rooms, retail support spaces and selected public interiors. | Flake size, colour blend, topcoat coverage and the finished surface texture. |
| Quartz broadcast | Wet entrances, washrooms and other areas needing a textured resin finish. | Grip, cleaning equipment, drainage, wall junctions and exposure conditions. |
| Decorative or metallic epoxy | Selected showrooms, reception spaces and feature interiors. | Sample appearance, lighting, visible wear, sunlight exposure and maintenance expectations. |
Polyurethane or polyaspartic topcoats may be specified over a compatible system to address particular wear, finish or scheduling requirements. Product selection, temperature and the full coating build determine the actual return-to-service time.

Epoxy is worth considering when you want a bonded, cleanable finish over concrete with control over colour and texture. Polished concrete retains the slab’s visible character, including some repairs. Carpet tile and resilient flooring may be more suitable where acoustic comfort or a softer feel is the priority. Discuss those needs before committing to a resin finish.
What does commercial epoxy flooring cost?
A reliable price needs a defined scope. The same floor area can require very different work if one slab is clean and sound while another needs old coating removal, contamination treatment, repairs or moisture mitigation.
What changes the price
- Floor area, room layout and minimum project setup.
- Existing flooring removal, grinding and disposal.
- Concrete damage, cracks, joints and moisture treatment.
- Coating build, decorative finish, topcoat and texture.
- Coves, thresholds, drains and edge detailing.
- After-hours work, phasing and moving fixtures.
Compare quotes on the same scope
Ask for preparation and repairs, named coating products, specified thickness or application rates, finish details, exclusions, reopening conditions and warranty terms.

Request a Written QuotePreparation, installation and reopening
-
Assess the concrete and business requirements
Review existing finishes, slab condition, moisture testing requirements, traffic, cleaners and access. Confirm which rooms and transitions are included.
-
Prepare and repair the surface
Mechanically prepare the concrete to the selected system’s requirements. Remove unsound material and address specified repairs. Plan moving joints and thresholds as details, rather than simply covering them.
-
Install the agreed coating system
Apply the specified primer, coating layers, aggregate or decorative material and compatible finish coat. Follow the product requirements for site conditions and recoating.
-
Confirm when each area can reopen
Separate light foot traffic, furniture placement, rolling loads and cleaning exposure in the handover plan. These may have different waiting periods.
Working in an occupied business
Phased or off-hours installation may be possible. We review work-area separation, dust control, ventilation, deliveries and customer or staff access before agreeing to a schedule. A fast-curing topcoat alone does not determine when the whole floor can reopen.
Plan for traction and ongoing care
Smooth finishes can become slippery with water or contamination. Texture should reflect the actual spill risk, footwear and cleaning method. More texture also changes how the floor needs to be cleaned.
Remove tracked-in grit, deal with spills promptly and use cleaners and pads compatible with the installed system. Protect the floor when moving fixtures, and inspect high-traffic lanes so wear can be addressed before it exposes the concrete.
For wet rooms, drain interfaces and wall-to-floor junctions need their own details. A decorative floor coating should not be assumed to replace a designed waterproofing system.
Commercial flooring questions
Is epoxy a good choice for a commercial floor?
It can be, particularly where concrete protection, cleanability and a consistent decorative finish matter. The decision should also account for moisture, traffic, sound, comfort, cleaning and the available closure period.
Can you coat over existing paint, tile or old epoxy?
Only after assessing the existing floor and confirming a compatible preparation method. Loose coatings, poorly bonded tile and contaminated material may need removal. New coating cannot correct an unstable substrate.
Can the business stay open during installation?
Some layouts allow separate work phases. Others need a full closure to provide suitable access, separation, ventilation and cure time. We review the operating hours and floor plan before proposing an approach.
Is commercial epoxy flooring slip-resistant?
Aggregate and topcoat selection can improve traction, but no finish is slip-proof. Wet conditions, spills, footwear and maintenance all affect performance. We discuss the room’s conditions when selecting the texture.
How long will the floor last?
There is no single lifespan for every commercial floor. Preparation, coating build, traffic and maintenance all matter. Some surfaces can be renewed with a compatible recoat after inspection and preparation.
Do you provide a warranty?
Written warranties are available on qualifying systems. Ask for the coverage, exclusions and care requirements for your proposed floor before approving the work.
