Hospital & Healthcare Epoxy Flooring

Hospital & Healthcare Epoxy Flooring — Vancouver & British Columbia

Seamless • Hygienic • Chemical-Resistant • Built for 24/7 Care

Hospitals and healthcare facilities demand floors that perform flawlessly in some of the toughest environments: continuous foot and cart traffic, harsh disinfectants, frequent spills, tight infection-control protocols, and the need for quiet, safe movement day and night. Priority One Epoxy Flooring designs and installs resinous flooring systems that meet these demands for acute care, outpatient clinics, medical office buildings, imaging suites, laboratories, pharmacies, surgical areas, and long-term care across Vancouver and British Columbia. Our healthcare floors are monolithic (no grout to harbor bacteria), dense and closed-pore (to resist staining and fluid ingress), and visualized for wayfinding (with color-zoned paths and safety markings) so that cleaning is faster, safety is higher, and uptime is maximized.

From urethane cement builds that tolerate hot-water disinfection and thermal cycling to high-build epoxy & quartz broadcast systems with tunable traction — and polyaspartic or aliphatic polyurethane topcoats for stain and chemical resistance — we tailor specifications to the clinical function, substrate conditions, and operating schedule of your facility. Our team delivers integral cove bases, sealed penetrations, slope-to-drain corrections, and ESD-safe options for device and imaging support areas, combining performance with clean, professional aesthetics.

Why Healthcare Facilities Need Purpose-Built Resin Floors

Clinical spaces are unlike commercial offices or retail. They require floors that do more than look clean — they must stay clean under heavy use and rigorous disinfection, minimize trip/slip risk, and support infection-control practices. Porous joints, grout lines, and uneven transitions create harborage points for soil and microbes and slow down cleaning. The right seamless resin system eliminates these pitfalls and stands up to the real-world conditions of Canadian healthcare: tracked-in moisture, de-icers in winter, rolling equipment, and extended exposure to strong disinfectants.

• Infection control — Monolithic surfaces with integral coves reduce harborage points and speed sanitization.
• Chemical & stain resistance — Closed-pore finishes resist disinfectants, betadine-like stains, and routine spills.
• Slip resistance — Tunable micro-texture provides traction in wet and dry zones without trapping soil.
• Noise & comfort — System options that reduce wheel rumble and provide underfoot comfort where needed.
• Wayfinding & zoning — Color bands, borders, and graphics reinforce one-way paths and clinical boundaries.
• Lifecycle value — Durable systems outlast thin paints and reduce grout/sheet seam failures and downtime.

Where These Floors Perform in Healthcare

Healthcare Flooring Systems We Install

We’re material-agnostic. Your clinical function, traffic, disinfectants, and shutdown windows drive the specification. The systems below are proven across hospital and healthcare environments:

Infection Control, Detailing & Cleanability

In clinical environments, details are everything. We focus on continuous, cleanable assemblies from floor to wall and across thresholds — reducing seams and joints that slow down disinfection and create risk. Our specifications include integral cove bases (typ. 100–150 mm), sealed penetrations at posts and conduits, and monolithic terminations under door hardware and equipment pads.

Our Installation Process for Hospitals & Clinics

We coordinate closely with facility teams to minimize disruption, protect patients and staff, and maintain schedules. Every project includes documentation of substrate conditions, QA checks, and reopening criteria aligned to your SOPs.

1. Assessment & Testing — Moisture and pH testing, adhesion pull tests, surface contamination checks, and mapping of joints, slopes, and transitions.
2. Containment & Ventilation — Negative air/odor control where needed; infection-control barriers and traffic separation per hospital requirements.
3. Substrate Remediation — Crack injection, spall patching, joint rebuilds, and moisture mitigation where required.
4. Surface Preparation — Shot blasting or diamond grinding to the specified CSP, thorough HEPA vacuuming, and verification of profile and cleanliness.
5. Primers & Builds — Moisture-tolerant primers (as needed); high-build epoxy or urethane cement to target thickness; integral coves installed.
6. Topcoats & Markings — Polyaspartic/urethane topcoats tuned for gloss, stain resistance and turnaround, with durable color bands and wayfinding graphics.
7. QA & Handover — Adhesion and cure confirmation, coverage rate logs, and cleaning/care documentation; coordinated reopen timing.

Need to keep care areas open? We phase by room bank and corridor segment, scheduling night/weekend work and rapid-cure options to maintain continuity of service.

Safety, Comfort & Compliance

Healthcare floors should help prevent incidents while supporting staff comfort and patient experience. We use micro-texture that provides reliable traction without roughness, low-glare sheens to reduce eye strain under strong lighting, and optional resilient underlayers where comfort is essential — all within a seamless, sanitary, easy-to-clean envelope.

Maintenance & Lifecycle Value

Compared with tile, sheet seams, or thin paint, resinous floors reduce cleaning labor, avoid recurring grout failures, and minimize unplanned shutdowns. With routine care, these systems maintain a professional appearance and consistent traction while protecting the slab from chemicals and repeated sanitation cycles.

Pricing, Scheduling & ROI

Costs reflect square footage, system thickness, substrate repairs, moisture mitigation, slope corrections, drain/threshold detailing, ESD options, and working windows. Though healthcare-grade resin systems cost more upfront than thin coatings, they often deliver a lower total cost of ownership due to reduced cleaning time, fewer failures, and shorter shutdowns. We provide itemized proposals with alternates to manage budgets while maintaining clinical performance.

• Written warranty and care documentation

Case Snapshot — Acute Care Corridor & Treatment Pod Refresh

A Metro Vancouver hospital needed to restore 2,700 sq/ft of main corridor and 1,100 sq/ft of treatment pods with minimal disruption to patient flow. The existing sheet seams and transitions were trapping soils and lifting at thresholds. Our team implemented a three-phase plan over weekends: surface prep to CSP spec, high-build epoxy with fine quartz broadcast, integral coves at wall bases, and a satin polyaspartic topcoat for stain resistance and low glare. We installed color-banded wayfinding and sealed all penetrations and threshold terminations. Areas reopened on schedule with documented cure checks and a tailored cleaning SOP. The result: faster cleaning cycles, safer traction, and a cohesive professional appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flooring is best for ORs and sterile corridors?

Urethane cement or epoxy/urethane builds with fine texture and closed-pore topcoats are commonly specified for wet scrub, thermal changes, and aggressive disinfection. We align the system to your SOPs and temperature cycles.

Can you phase work to keep clinical services open?

Yes. We plan night/weekend work, segment corridors, and choose rapid-cure topcoats to reopen areas quickly. We coordinate containment and ventilation with your facilities team.

Do you provide ESD-safe options for imaging or device areas?

Absolutely. We install conductive or static-dissipative systems with verified resistance ranges, grounding grids, and maintenance guidance tailored to your program.

How do you handle thresholds, drains, and penetrations?

We rebuild thresholds monolithically, reset drain bowls (as needed), seal penetrations, and install integral coves for a continuous, cleanable envelope that minimizes harborage points.

What is the typical timeline and warranty?

Small clinical zones can reopen in 24–48 hours with select fast-cure options. Larger projects depend on scope and substrate condition. We provide written warranties and a care guide tailored to your system.
