Hotels • Resorts • Vancouver, BC
Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs prep-first epoxy and resin flooring systems for hotels and resorts in Vancouver, Metro Vancouver, Whistler, and selected BC resort markets. We plan each floor around the actual area—whether it is a lobby, restaurant, commercial kitchen, spa, pool deck, washroom, service corridor, loading zone, or parkade.
For operating properties, installation can be coordinated by floor, room, or work zone with practical attention to guest flow, dust and odour control, cure time, housekeeping access, and reopening deadlines. The result is a system selected for the space—not one generic coating used throughout the hotel.
Hotel & Resort Resin Flooring
Hotel flooring has to do more than look finished on opening day. It must support guest presentation, luggage and housekeeping carts, wet footwear, cleaning chemicals, food service, staff traffic, and the property’s maintenance schedule. Those conditions vary considerably between a lobby, commercial kitchen, pool deck, washroom, service corridor, loading area, and parkade.
Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs epoxy, decorative resin, polyaspartic, quartz, urethane-cement, and selected concrete-finishing systems for hotel and resort properties. We begin with the concrete and the operating conditions, then recommend the build, texture, finish, and return-to-service plan appropriate for each area.
Original Priority One Project Photos
These are Priority One projects completed in Whistler—not stock images. The restaurant installation is directly relevant to hospitality service areas, while the additional local projects demonstrate our ability to mobilize, prepare concrete, and complete resin-floor installations in an active resort market.

Specification by Area
The right specification depends on what the floor is exposed to and how the property needs to operate after installation. The following guide shows common starting directions; the final recommendation depends on the slab, existing floor, cleaning chemistry, drainage, temperature, and required reopening time.
| Hotel or Resort Area | Typical System Direction | Key Design Questions |
|---|---|---|
| Lobbies, Entrances & Registration | Decorative resin, terrazzo-look resin, microtopping, or polished concrete | Appearance, entry moisture, luggage traffic, cleaning, gloss, and acoustics |
| Selected Corridors & Elevator Lobbies | Decorative resin or polished concrete where a hard surface is suitable | Cart traffic, scuffing, transitions, sound, guest comfort, and maintenance |
| Restaurants, Bars & Event Areas | Decorative resin, quartz, flake, or polished concrete by use | Food and drink spills, chair movement, cleaning, stain resistance, and design |
| Commercial Kitchens & Dishwashing | Urethane cement or another heavy-duty broadcast resin build | Heat, grease, washdowns, drains, sanitation, impact, and thermal cycling |
| Pool Decks, Spas & Wet Amenities | Location-appropriate textured resin or traffic-rated wet-area coating | Indoor or outdoor exposure, UV, slope, drainage, bare feet, water, and cleaning |
| Washrooms, Locker Rooms & Laundry | Quartz, epoxy, urethane, or urethane-cement system by exposure | Moisture, detergents, cove base, floor drains, traction, and cleanability |
| Service Corridors, Storage & Loading | High-build epoxy, broadcast resin, or urethane system | Rolling carts, impact, abrasion, spills, dock traffic, and repair access |
| Parkades, Ramps & Porte Cochères | Purpose-designed traffic coating or waterproof traffic membrane | Vehicle traffic, salts, water, crack movement, ramps, and outdoor exposure |
Occupied-Property Planning
In an operating hotel, the installation plan matters almost as much as the coating. A technically strong floor can still create problems if access, dust, odour, cure time, deliveries, staff routes, or guest-facing work are not coordinated before mobilization.
Systems Selected for the Exposure
Seamless solid-colour, flake, quartz, metallic, or terrazzo-look directions for suitable public and amenity areas where appearance and cleanability are priorities.
Practical concrete protection for service corridors, storage rooms, utility areas, and selected back-of-house spaces exposed to carts, traffic, and routine spills.
A durable, textured resin build for washrooms, service areas, wet rooms, and other spaces that need additional traction and a dense, cleanable finish.
A strong direction for commercial kitchens, dishwashing rooms, and severe wet-service zones exposed to thermal cycling, grease, impact, and aggressive cleaning.
UV-stable and faster-curing finish options for compatible systems. Selection depends on the base build, exposure, desired finish, and reopening requirements.
Purpose-designed systems for hotel parkades, ramps, loading zones, exterior walkways, and selected elevated areas where movement and water management matter.

Local and Selected BC Projects
Priority One Epoxy Flooring is based in Richmond and serves hotel, resort, hospitality, and commercial projects across Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, Delta, New Westminster, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and the Lower Mainland. We also mobilize for selected hospitality and resort projects in Whistler and other British Columbia markets after reviewing scope, schedule, and project size.
Hotel Flooring Questions
There is no single best system for an entire hotel. Decorative resin or polished concrete may suit selected public areas, quartz or high-build epoxy may suit service spaces, and urethane cement is often a stronger direction for commercial kitchens and severe wet-service zones. The substrate and exposure determine the final specification.
Common applications include lobbies, selected corridors, restaurants, commercial kitchens, washrooms, laundry rooms, pool and spa support areas, service corridors, loading areas, storage rooms, and parkades. Guest rooms and acoustically sensitive corridors may be better served by other flooring types.
Often, yes, when the layout, system, ventilation, and work windows allow it. Projects may be divided by room, floor, corridor, or service zone. The schedule must still allow proper preparation, application, curing, inspection, and safe reopening.
It can be appropriate in selected areas when appearance, cleaning, entry moisture, rolling traffic, acoustics, transitions, and slip resistance are considered together. Decorative resin is not automatically the best choice for every lobby or corridor, so we review the property’s design and operating priorities first.
Urethane cement is often a strong direction for kitchens and dishwashing areas exposed to hot water, grease, thermal cycling, impact, and aggressive cleaning. Thickness, texture, cove base, drains, and substrate condition still need to be assessed for the specific room.
Texture can be selected for wet conditions, cleaning requirements, indoor or outdoor exposure, and barefoot traffic. No floor is slip-proof, and drainage, slope, footwear, contaminants, and maintenance remain important parts of risk management.
Duration depends on the area, concrete condition, removal and repair requirements, system build, temperature, access, phasing, and cure time. A reliable schedule is prepared after the site and operating restrictions are reviewed.
Sometimes, but only after checking adhesion, movement, contamination, moisture, transitions, and the condition of the existing assembly. Unsound tile, coatings, adhesive, or patching may need to be removed so the new system can be bonded to a suitable substrate.
Request a Site Assessment
Tell us which areas are included, how the property operates, and when the floor must return to service. We will review the substrate, exposure, finish, traction, and scheduling requirements before recommending a system.
