Industrial Epoxy Flooring for Production Plants

Production Plant Epoxy Flooring — Vancouver & British Columbia

Industrial-Grade • Chemical-Resistant • Built for 24/7 Manufacturing

Production plants, factories, and manufacturing facilities demand flooring systems that can withstand far more than standard commercial environments. Concrete inside a busy production facility is constantly exposed to forklift traffic, pallet jacks, machinery vibration, impact, chemicals, oils, water, thermal shock, and heavy rolling loads. Without proper protection, concrete begins to crack, dust, delaminate, and deteriorate—creating safety hazards, contamination, and costly downtime.

Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs fully engineered resinous flooring systems for manufacturing plants, processing facilities, food and beverage plants, packaging lines, chemical plants, metal fabrication shops, electronics manufacturing, and large-scale industrial complexes. Our epoxy, urethane, polyaspartic, and urethane-cement systems deliver exceptional performance, hygiene, traction, and durability in any high-demand environment.

We serve production operations across Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, the BC Interior, and Northern BC, helping plant managers, maintenance teams, and facility owners upgrade their floors to systems that support efficiency, safety, and compliance.

Why Production Plants Need Industrial Epoxy Flooring

Production environments place enormous stress on flooring surfaces. Bare concrete or cheap paint coatings quickly fail under constant industrial use. Common issues include:

• Chemical spills from oils, solvents, detergents, inks, acids, alkalis, and process fluids
• Heavy forklift traffic, pallet jacks, robotic equipment, and continuous rolling loads
• Moisture and humidity from washdowns, sanitation cycles, and wet processing areas
• Dusting slabs contaminating product, packaging, and sensitive equipment
• Pitting, cracking, chipping, and delamination under heavy impact and vibration
• Slip hazards caused by water, lubricants, powders, or food by-products

Industrial epoxy and urethane flooring systems from Priority One Epoxy Flooring are engineered to solve these problems. Properly specified and installed, our systems provide:

• High chemical resistance to industrial liquids and corrosive agents
• Slip-resistant textures tailored for wet, oily, or sloped zones
• Extreme impact and abrasion resistance for heavy equipment and forklifts
• Seamless, sanitary finishes ideal for food-grade and clean manufacturing
• No peeling, no hot-tire pickup when surfaces are prepared correctly
• Low maintenance and simplified cleaning and sanitation routines

Where Production Plant Epoxy Flooring Makes the Biggest Difference

Raw Material Receiving & Warehouse Zones

Forklifts, dock plates, pallet drops, and racking loads place serious demands on your floors. Our industrial epoxy and urethane flooring systems protect concrete in receiving and storage areas, reduce dusting, and support safe forklift and pedestrian traffic.

Production Lines & Assembly Areas

Manufacturing lines, conveyor paths, and assembly zones benefit from smooth, level, seamless floors that support efficient movement of equipment, carts, and robotics. We can integrate colour-coded lanes, work zones, and safety markings directly into the floor to support lean manufacturing and visual management.

Food, Beverage & Sanitary Processing

Food and beverage plants require hygienic, non-porous, chemical-resistant flooring that can handle frequent washdowns, hot water, organic acids, sugars, fats, and aggressive cleaning agents. Urethane-cement and sanitary epoxy systems are ideal for these environments, supporting HACCP and other regulatory requirements.

Chemical, Plastics & Resin Manufacturing

Chemical processes can quickly destroy unprotected concrete. We install chemically-resistant resin flooring systems in mixing rooms, containment areas, loading points, and process zones to protect against corrosive spills and vapor attack.

Electronics, Pharma & Clean Manufacturing

Electronics and pharmaceutical production require clean, low-dust, easily sanitizeable surfaces—and often ESD (electrostatic dissipative) flooring. Our systems can combine epoxy, urethane, and anti-static technology to help control contamination and static discharge.

Maintenance Shops & Utility Areas

Maintenance shops, compressor rooms, pump areas, and boiler rooms see oils, lubricants, vibration, and heat. Industrial epoxy and urethane flooring protects these back-of-house spaces from leaks and heavy wear while supporting safe, organized work areas.

Industrial Flooring Systems for Production Plants

Urethane Cement (Urethane Mortar)

Urethane-cement systems are the top choice for the harshest production environments, especially in food, beverage, and wet processing areas. They offer:

• Exceptional thermal shock resistance for hot washdowns and rapid temperature swings
• Very high compressive strength for heavy tank legs, racking, and machine bases
• Outstanding chemical resistance to caustics, acids, sugars, and cleaning agents
• Installation with integral cove bases and slopes to drains for sanitary design

High-Build Industrial Epoxy Systems

High-build epoxy systems are ideal for general production, assembly, packaging, and warehouse areas. These floors provide:

• A thick, seamless surface that resists abrasion and impact
• Light-reflective finishes that brighten production spaces
• Compatibility with forklifts, tuggers, carts, and automation
• Options for smooth or textured finishes depending on slip requirements

Quartz Broadcast Epoxy Flooring

Quartz broadcast systems combine epoxy resins with coloured quartz aggregates to create a highly durable, slip-resistant floor with a decorative, industrial appearance. Quartz systems are ideal for:

• Wet processing zones and washdown corridors
• Ramps, slopes, and transition areas between levels
• High-visibility production or packaging areas that need both traction and aesthetics

Polyaspartic & Fast-Cure Systems

Some production plants cannot afford long shutdowns. Fast-cure polyaspartic systems allow for rapid installation and return to service, making them a strong option for phased upgrades over weekends or scheduled maintenance windows.

ESD / Anti-Static Flooring Systems

For electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, or explosive environments, we can specify ESD (electrostatic dissipative) or conductive flooring that controls static buildup and protects sensitive components and equipment.

Moisture-Mitigation & Vapor Control Systems

Slabs on grade or over occupied spaces can suffer from moisture drive. We can install moisture mitigation primers and vapor control layers under your new system to help prevent blistering, debonding, and long-term failures.

Our Production Plant Epoxy Flooring Installation Process

Every production facility has its own schedule, sanitation requirements, and safety protocols. We plan our projects around your operations to minimize disruption.
