Polished Concrete Floors in Vancouver & British Columbia

Polished concrete floors have rapidly become one of the most sought-after flooring solutions in Vancouver and across British Columbia. Offering a perfect blend of durability, elegance, and eco-friendliness, polished concrete transforms ordinary slabs into stunning, high-performance surfaces suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. At Priority One Epoxy Flooring, we specialize in crafting polished concrete floors that elevate the aesthetics and functionality of your property while reducing long-term maintenance costs.

What is Polished Concrete and Why Is It So Popular in Vancouver?

Polished concrete is a finishing process that uses progressively finer grinding tools and polishing compounds to create a glossy, smooth surface out of concrete slabs. Unlike coatings or overlays, polished concrete enhances the inherent qualities of the concrete itself, resulting in a surface that is:

• Durable and Long-Lasting: Polished concrete resists abrasion, heavy foot traffic, and daily wear better than many other flooring types.
• Low Maintenance: Unlike wood or carpet, it requires minimal upkeep — just regular cleaning to keep its shine.
• Eco-Friendly: Utilizing existing slabs reduces waste and eliminates the need for harsh chemical coatings or finishes.
• Cost-Effective: Over time, its durability and low maintenance reduce flooring replacement and upkeep expenses.
• Versatile Aesthetic: Can be customized with stains, dyes, or decorative aggregates to suit modern, industrial, or classic design preferences.

Vancouver’s growing interest in sustainable building and design, combined with the city’s climate considerations, makes polished concrete a smart choice for both new construction and renovation projects.

Our Expert Polished Concrete Floor Installation Process

At Priority One Epoxy Flooring, our polished concrete services follow a meticulous, multi-stage process to ensure flawless results every time:

1. Comprehensive Site Evaluation: We begin with a detailed assessment of your concrete slab’s condition, moisture levels, and any surface defects.
2. Surface Repair & Preparation: Cracks, chips, or other imperfections are expertly repaired, ensuring a smooth, even base for polishing.
3. Grinding: Using diamond-embedded grinding discs, we gradually refine the concrete surface starting with coarse grit, moving to finer grits to remove imperfections and expose aggregates if desired.
4. Polishing: Polishing compounds are applied and buffed to achieve the selected level of sheen—from a subtle matte finish to a high-gloss mirror effect.
5. Staining or Dying (Optional): Customized colors and patterns can be added to match your design vision.
6. Sealing: We apply a penetrating sealer that protects the floor from stains, water damage, and enhances durability without compromising breathability.
7. Final Inspection & Client Walkthrough: Our team reviews the finished floor with you to ensure satisfaction with the result.
