Frequently Asked Questions About Epoxy Flooring in West Vancouver
1. How well does epoxy flooring hold up in West Vancouver’s coastal climate?
Very well. Epoxy and polyaspartic coatings are moisture-resistant and UV-stable, making them ideal for the damp, coastal weather in West Vancouver. We also use dehumidifiers and moisture-mitigation systems during prep to ensure proper bonding to concrete surfaces.
2. Can epoxy flooring be customized to match my home’s style?
Absolutely. We offer custom colour blends, metallic effects, decorative flakes, and satin or gloss finishes to suit modern, coastal, or luxury West Vancouver home designs. Each floor is fully personalized.
3. How long does the installation process take?
Most residential garage epoxy floors in West Vancouver can be completed in one to two days, depending on weather and substrate condition. Commercial and industrial projects may take longer due to square footage and curing time.
4. Is epoxy flooring slippery when wet?
We use non-slip additives like aluminum oxide or silica to increase traction, especially in garages, commercial kitchens, or entryways. You can choose the level of grip based on your specific needs.
5. Can you apply epoxy over old or cracked concrete?
Yes. We mechanically grind all surfaces, repair cracks and spalling, and use industrial-grade primers to ensure a flawless finish over older concrete. Your existing slab does not need to be replaced.
6. Is epoxy safe for homes with pets and kids?
Yes. Once cured, epoxy is non-toxic, VOC-compliant, and resistant to scratching, spills, and stains — perfect for households with children and pets.
7. Do I need to move out during installation?
Not at all. Most of our residential epoxy jobs, including garages and basements, can be completed without disrupting your household. For commercial spaces, we schedule work around your operating hours.
