Epoxy & Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs floor coatings for garages, workshops and business interiors throughout the City and District of North Vancouver. We assess the slab, diamond-grind the surface and select repairs, coating layers and texture for your space.

A garage used for parking, a bike workshop and a customer-facing business need different finishes. We recommend the floor system around the existing concrete, daily traffic, spills, cleaning and the time available for installation.
Full-flake and solid-colour systems for residential garages and home workshops. A compatible polyaspartic topcoat can add UV resistance where sunlight reaches the floor through an open garage door.
Create a cleanable base for bikes, skis, tools and storage equipment. Texture near wet entries should suit the cleaning routine and expected use. Resin flooring is a hard surface; exercise comfort and dropped weights may call for compatible rubber mats or impact flooring above it.
Flooring for retail units, studios, showrooms, clinics and business support rooms. Finish selection balances appearance with foot traffic, cleaning products, rolling carts and the space's reopening schedule.
Shop floors can encounter oils, cleaners, tool impacts and rolling equipment. We review the actual chemical exposure and wear zones. Wet cleaning or heat may justify a quartz broadcast or urethane-cement system rather than a decorative garage coating.
Our residential garage planning range is $8–$12 per square foot in Canadian dollars. The final price depends on floor size, concrete condition, preparation, repairs and the chosen finish. Coating removal, moisture treatment and special detailing can add to the scope. Commercial and service-bay floors are quoted for their operating requirements.
Two quotes with the same per-square-foot price may include different preparation, repairs, layers and topcoats. Ask what happens if grinding exposes weak concrete or testing identifies moisture outside the selected system's limits.
Confirm taxes, any minimum project charge, exclusions and the applicable warranty terms in the written proposal before booking.
Request a site assessment and project priceCompare colour samples alongside the garage's lighting, wall finishes and storage plans. The decorative appearance and the coating's working performance are separate decisions: both need to suit the space.
Texture helps manage traction but cannot make a wet or oily floor slip-proof. Keep entry areas clean, remove spills promptly and use cleaners approved for the selected coating.
Epoxy and polyaspartic can be layers within one floor. Choose the complete system—preparation, primer, resin layers, broadcast material and topcoat— rather than comparing material names alone.
| System | Typical use | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Full-flake epoxy with a compatible topcoat | Residential garages, storage and home workshops. | Slab moisture, old coating removal, finish texture and vehicle cure time. |
| Polyaspartic coating or topcoat | Compatible decorative systems where UV resistance or faster cure is useful. | Layer compatibility, temperature, application conditions and full-service cure. |
| Solid-colour or high-build epoxy | Commercial interiors, workshops and service bays. | Traffic, abrasion, chemical exposure, joints and required coating build. |
| Quartz broadcast resin flooring | Selected washrooms, wet utility spaces and working interiors. | Texture, cleaning equipment, coving, drainage and topcoat. |
| Urethane-cement | Selected wet-process, washdown and heat-exposed work areas. | System thickness, temperature exposure, cleaning chemistry and detailing. |
A dry-looking slab does not establish that it meets a coating's moisture limits. Testing and any moisture treatment should follow the selected manufacturer's requirements. Active leaks, ponding and drainage problems need resolution. A textured garage finish does not replace an exterior driveway system or a specified waterproofing membrane.
Preparation and the cure schedule are part of the flooring system. Before booking, agree on the surfaces included, repairs, access arrangements and when walking, storage and vehicle use can resume.
Assess existing coatings, contamination, cracks, moisture concerns, drainage, equipment and access. Define testing and the repair scope.
Mechanically prepare the surface to the specified profile, remove unsuitable material and complete agreed repairs. Detail moving cracks and joints appropriately.
Install compatible primer, resin layers, decorative broadcast and topcoat as specified. Check environmental conditions and recoat windows during application.
Inspect the finish and confirm care instructions. Walking, heavy storage, vehicle traffic and chemical exposure may require different cure periods.
Fast-curing products may shorten a closure, but repairs, moisture treatment, slab temperature and the complete system determine the schedule. A one-day application does not automatically mean the floor is ready for vehicles that evening.
We provide site assessments for properties in Lower and Central Lonsdale, Upper Lonsdale, Lynn Valley, Edgemont, Canyon Heights, Delbrook, Blueridge, Seymour and Deep Cove, as well as commercial and service spaces around Marine Drive and Harbourside.
Share your address, floor area and access details when requesting a quote. Sloped entries, driveway parking, storage removal and occupied business areas are assessed at the property. Priority One is based in Richmond and serves North Vancouver; site visits are arranged directly with our team.
Our residential garage planning range is $8–$12 per square foot in Canadian dollars. Floor size, preparation, repairs, moisture treatment and the selected system affect the final price. A site assessment confirms the written scope and quotation.
They can work together in one system. Epoxy may form the primer or decorative base, with a compatible polyaspartic topcoat chosen for UV resistance and cure characteristics. Compare the complete coating build, slab requirements and parking return time.
Possibly, after assessment. Unsuitable coatings and weak material need removal. Moisture testing and treatment must match the selected products' limits. Active leaks and unsuitable substrate conditions need resolution before coating.
Texture and traction additives can be selected for the room's use, but no finish removes all slip risk. Water, oil, grit, footwear and cleaning affect footing. Discuss wet-entry areas and the cleaning routine during the site visit.
The selected products, repairs and site conditions determine the schedule. Walking and vehicle traffic often have different cure requirements. Your installation plan should state when each use can resume; fast application alone does not establish parking readiness.
It can provide a durable, cleanable base, but resin is a hard surface. Rubber mats or a separate impact floor may be needed for exercise comfort and dropped weights. Confirm mat compatibility, equipment protection and moisture management beneath coverings.
These areas need their own assessment. Interior garage texture, exposed exterior surfaces and parkades with waterproofing requirements are different specifications. Drainage, slope, traffic and the underlying assembly determine the suitable system.
Yes. Priority One is based in Richmond and arranges site assessments throughout the City and District of North Vancouver. Send the property address, approximate floor size, photos and preferred timing to begin.
Send your address, approximate square footage, a few floor photos and how the room is used. Include any old coating, moisture concerns, equipment traffic and preferred installation dates. We can then arrange a site review and recommend a floor system with a written scope and price.
