Dog Kennel Epoxy Flooring

Dog Kennel Epoxy Flooring — Vancouver, BC & Canada

Seamless floors built for urine, odors, washdowns, claws & disinfectants

Dog kennels, animal shelters, veterinary clinics, grooming studios, and “pet hotel” boarding facilities need floors that do more than look good. These environments are exposed to urine and animal waste, frequent washdowns, harsh disinfectants, wet paws, claws, and constant traffic. Standard concrete and tile systems can absorb odors, crack, stain, and create hidden places for bacteria to build up.

Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs professional dog kennel epoxy flooring systems designed to support cleanliness, safety, and long-term durability. Our resinous floors are engineered to create a seamless, impermeable surface that’s easy to sanitize, with traction options, integral cove base, and slope-to-drain solutions for efficient cleaning and superior hygiene.

Why Kennels & Pet Facilities Need Specialized Flooring

Kennel environments are unique because flooring must support animal health and staff workflows at the same time. A properly designed resinous floor helps reduce odor retention and creates a surface that can be cleaned quickly, repeatedly, and safely—without degrading.

• Urine & odor resistance: Impermeable surfaces help stop absorption and lingering smells.
• Sanitary + seamless: No grout lines or seams that trap moisture, germs, and debris.
• Scratch & stain resistance: Built to handle claws, cages, carts, and daily wear.
• Slip resistance: Textures can be customized for wet paws and washdown conditions.
• Cove base + slope to drains: Water management and easier cleaning at wall transitions.
• Fast turnaround: Options to reduce downtime for busy boarding operations.

When owners compare kennel flooring options, they often weigh tile, sealed concrete, sheet vinyl, rubber, or basic paint coatings. In real-world kennels, those options typically struggle with hygiene, moisture intrusion, and long-term maintenance. A properly installed epoxy/urethane system is purpose-built for high-use, high-cleaning facilities.

Where Dog Kennel Epoxy Flooring Makes the Biggest Difference

Dog Runs, Pens & Cage Areas

The core of your facility demands durability and sanitation. We install seamless flooring systems that resist urine exposure, scratching, and frequent disinfection—while offering traction tuned for animal comfort and staff safety.

Washdown Rooms & Bathing Stations

Constant water and chemical exposure requires floors that don’t soften, peel, or become slippery. We can build textured, waterproof systems that drain efficiently and hold up under heavy washdown schedules.

Grooming Studios

Grooming areas experience hair, water, shampoos, and foot traffic. A seamless epoxy or polyaspartic finish makes cleanup faster while maintaining a bright, professional look.

Veterinary Clinics & Treatment Areas

Vet environments benefit from seamless, easy-to-clean surfaces that support hygiene protocols. We can install systems with clean transitions, cove base, and chemical resistance for disinfectants and cleaners.

Food Prep, Laundry & Storage Rooms

Kennels often include back-of-house spaces that need durability and easy maintenance. We recommend high-performance resin floors that protect concrete and simplify daily cleaning tasks.

Outdoor Turnout Areas (where suitable)

For select outdoor zones, we can specify UV-stable topcoats and textures to improve traction and reduce wear, depending on exposure and substrate conditions.

Best Flooring Systems for Dog Kennels

Urethane Cement (Urethane Mortar) — Top Choice for Washdown Facilities

Urethane cement systems are ideal for kennels with frequent washdowns, temperature swings, and aggressive cleaning routines. They offer excellent durability and chemical resistance, and are commonly specified for demanding environments.

High-Build Industrial Epoxy

High-build epoxy provides a strong, seamless surface that resists staining and wear. It’s a great choice for dog runs, corridors, and kennel rooms that need a tough, sanitary finish with optional traction.

Quartz Broadcast Systems (Extra Traction + Strength)

Quartz broadcast floors combine resin with colored quartz aggregate to create a durable, slip-resistant surface. This is a strong option for wet areas, grooming rooms, and wash bays where traction matters.

Flake Systems (Decorative + Easy Maintenance)

Flake flooring is popular for front-of-house pet facilities and doggy daycare lobbies because it looks great, hides minor debris between cleanings, and can be built with traction.

Polyaspartic / Polyurethane Topcoats (Fast Cure + Durability)

When downtime is a priority, fast-cure topcoats help facilities return to service sooner. These topcoats improve stain resistance and help maintain color and gloss where applicable.

Kennel Flooring Features That Improve Hygiene & Operations

Our Dog Kennel Flooring Installation Process

Durable kennel floors start with proper assessment and surface preparation. We follow a proven process to reduce failure risks like peeling, bubbling, or delamination.

1. Site Walkthrough & Needs Review: We review drains, slopes, washdown routines, and traffic patterns.
2. Moisture & Substrate Assessment: We check slab condition, contaminants, and moisture risks.
3. Mechanical Prep: Diamond grinding or shot blasting to achieve the correct concrete profile.
4. Crack & Joint Repairs: We repair defects to stabilize the base before coating.
5. Primer & Build Coats: We apply primers and install the selected system to required thickness.
6. Broadcast / Texture (if specified): Quartz/flake and traction layers are installed as needed.
7. Topcoat & Detail Work: Chemical-resistant topcoats, cove base, and clean transitions.
8. Final QC + Care Plan: We review curing timelines and provide maintenance recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is epoxy flooring resistant to dog urine and odors?

Yes—when installed as a complete system with proper prep and an impermeable build, resinous floors resist urine exposure and help minimize odor absorption compared to porous concrete or grout-line tile.

What’s the best kennel floor for washdowns?

For heavy washdown facilities, urethane cement is often the top recommendation due to its durability and resistance to harsh cleaning routines. We’ll confirm the best option based on your layout and cleaning process.

Can you install cove base in dog runs and wash areas?

Yes. We can install integral cove base and durable wall-to-floor transitions that help prevent moisture intrusion and improve sanitation.

Will the floor be slippery when wet?

It doesn’t have to be. We can install traction options (quartz/texture) in wet areas while keeping smoother zones where carts or equipment need to roll easily.

How long does kennel epoxy flooring take to install?

Many projects fall in the 2–5 day range depending on repairs, area size, and the system selected. We can also discuss fast-cure options and phased schedules to reduce downtime.

How do you clean and maintain kennel resin floors?

Daily maintenance is typically simple: sweep, squeegee washdowns, and use facility-approved cleaners. We provide a care plan to help preserve traction and appearance long term.
