Multi-Purpose Epoxy Flooring Systems

Multi-Purpose Epoxy Flooring for Commercial & Industrial Facilities — Vancouver & British Columbia

Seamless • Durable • Hygienic Resinous Flooring by Priority One Epoxy Flooring

Every facility — whether commercial, industrial, institutional, or mixed-use — requires flooring that can stand up to heavy traffic, impacts, spills, equipment loads, chemical exposure, and strict hygiene expectations. Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs multi-purpose epoxy, urethane mortar, and polyaspartic flooring systems engineered for high-demand environments across Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and the BC Interior. Our flooring solutions eliminate joints, resist chemicals, improve safety, and dramatically reduce long-term repair costs, helping facilities run cleaner, safer, and more efficiently.

Whether you operate a distribution warehouse, manufacturing plant, fitness centre, retail store, laboratory, packaging facility, workshop, or public building, our resinous flooring systems are purpose-built to handle constant use while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. From slip-resistant finishes and antimicrobial additives to UV-stable topcoats and fast-cure systems, we design and install flooring that lasts decades — not years.

Why Facilities Need Purpose-Built Resinous Flooring

Generic flooring materials — such as unprotected concrete, vinyl tile, or basic coatings — cannot withstand the intense conditions found in commercial and industrial environments. Forklifts, pallet jacks, carts, hand trucks, and production equipment quickly degrade concrete surfaces. Chemical cleaners, oils, coolants, grease, and solvents penetrate porous floors. Repeated washdowns cause premature cracking, pitting, and delamination. Even small imperfections become safety hazards and sanitation challenges over time.

Resinous floors, when built correctly, solve these issues. Seamless epoxy, urethane mortar, and polyaspartic systems create a monolithic surface that is impermeable, chemical-resistant, slip-resistant, and incredibly strong. Unlike tile or vinyl, they don’t have grout lines or seams where dirt, bacteria, and moisture hide. Compared to bare concrete, resinous systems drastically improve durability and reduce maintenance costs.

Priority One Epoxy Flooring designs systems that meet the demanding conditions of modern facilities: chemical exposure, thermal cycling, wet and dry processing, heavy loading, abrasion, and aesthetic requirements. Our installations help businesses remain compliant with CFIA/HACCP expectations, local health authorities, and corporate facility standards across British Columbia.

Application Areas — Built for Every Facility Environment

Warehouses & Distribution Centres

Warehouses experience constant forklift traffic, pallet impacts, racking weight, and dusting from concrete abrasion. High-build epoxy coatings reinforce the slab, prevent dusting, create level surfaces for equipment, and improve visibility with bright reflective finishes. Optional safety line markings and zone demarcations enhance workflow and accident prevention.

Manufacturing & Production Facilities

Manufacturing floors must resist oils, chemicals, solvents, abrasion, and continuous mechanical stress. Urethane mortar systems provide industry-leading compressive strength, thermal shock resistance, and long-term reliability. Properly installed resinous flooring minimizes downtime, prevents substrate failures, and supports safe movement of heavy machinery.

Retail Stores & Showrooms

In public-facing environments, durability must pair with aesthetics. Decorative epoxy, terrazzo-style broadcast systems, or polished resin finishes provide a premium appearance while resisting scratches, spills, and high foot traffic. These systems offer long-lasting beauty with easy cleaning — perfect for boutiques, automotive showrooms, and large retail stores.

Gyms, Fitness Centres & Sports Facilities

Fitness facilities require impact resistance, hygiene, slip resistance, and easy cleanability. Resinous systems can be customized for weight rooms, cardio zones, yoga studios, spin studios, and locker rooms. Seamless coatings prevent odour absorption and bacteria growth while offering excellent traction in wet and dry conditions.

Workshops, Fabrication Areas & Auto Facilities

Workshops and auto bays expose floors to oils, brake fluids, solvents, heat, dropped tools, and heavy rolling loads. Epoxy and polyaspartic coatings protect the slab, block chemical penetration, and provide a clean, safe working environment. Slip-resistant textures and UV-stable topcoats ensure long-term performance and safety.

Public Buildings, Schools & Institutions

Schools, community centres, hospitals, and government buildings require seamless, hygienic floors that are easy to maintain. Resinous systems offer a non-porous, durable surface ideal for high foot traffic and frequent cleaning. Decorative finishes can be customized for gymnasiums, corridors, classrooms, and multipurpose areas.

Laboratories, Clinics & Medical Facilities

Labs and clinics demand sanitary, chemical-resistant flooring that withstands sterilization procedures and strict cleaning schedules. Resinous systems meet these requirements by eliminating seams where pathogens can hide. Antimicrobial additives can be included for enhanced hygiene protocols.

Flooring Systems We Install — Engineered for Performance

Urethane Mortar (Polyurethane Cement)

The most durable system for industrial and wet environments. Urethane mortar withstands thermal shock, steam cleaning, chemical exposure, impact, and heavy equipment traffic. It bonds exceptionally well to properly prepared concrete and provides decades of reliable service. Ideal for manufacturing, food processing, mechanical rooms, and high-load zones.

High-Build Epoxy Systems

A versatile option for most commercial facilities. High-build epoxies create smooth, durable, and chemical-resistant surfaces suitable for warehouses, retail spaces, workshops, storage areas, and production environments. Optional quartz broadcast textures improve slip resistance and durability.

Quartz Broadcast Floors

Quartz systems combine aesthetic appeal with extreme durability. The multi-layer structure offers superior slip resistance, impact tolerance, and abrasion resistance — excellent for gyms, corridors, locker rooms, manufacturing zones, and high-traffic commercial areas.

Polyaspartic Fast-Cure Systems

When downtime must be minimized, polyaspartic coatings cure rapidly — often allowing same-day or next-day return to service. They perform well in retail environments, hallways, entryways, and operational spaces where closures must be kept brief.

Waterproof Membranes & Moisture Systems

Slabs with elevated moisture or multi-level structures benefit from waterproof membranes and moisture-control primers. These systems protect the substrate, prevent delamination, and extend the lifespan of the finished floor.

Slip-Resistant & Safety Textures

We offer customizable slip-resistant textures for wet, oily, or high-traffic environments. These textures enhance safety and meet internal facility standards for slip prevention.

Our Installation Process — Thorough, Professional & Documented

Every installation follows a structured and fully documented workflow to ensure performance, compliance, and long-term durability. Our team delivers consistent results through rigorous testing, proven preparation methods, and careful system design.

1. Site assessment & diagnostics: Moisture testing, slab evaluation, joint mapping, contamination checks, and adhesion testing.
2. Substrate repairs: Patching, crack injection, joint rebuilding, and remediation of damaged concrete.
3. Surface preparation: Shot blasting, diamond grinding, or a combination of both to achieve the correct profile per system specification.
4. Priming & base coats: Applying primers or scratch coats designed to maximize adhesion and stabilize the substrate.
5. System build-up: Installing epoxy layers, quartz broadcasts, urethane mortar, or polyaspartic coats as required for performance or aesthetics.
6. Topcoats & protection: UV-stable polyurethanes, antimicrobial coatings, or specialized high-performance finishes.
7. Final inspection & documentation: Adhesion verification, thickness checks, QA reporting, and warranty documentation.

Our crews work efficiently and safely, coordinating with facility managers to minimize downtime. For operational facilities, we can phase work so business operations continue uninterrupted.
