Burnaby, BC · Residential & Business Floor Coatings
Garage, Commercial & Strata Flooring Built Around Your Concrete
Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs epoxy, full-flake and resin floor systems for Burnaby garages, shops, warehouses and shared building spaces. We assess the concrete, repairs, moisture conditions and traffic before recommending a finish. Parkades are reviewed separately for traffic coating and waterproofing requirements.
Experience and project totals reflect company-wide work.
Our Work in Burnaby
These Burnaby projects show different approaches to floor appearance and everyday use: a full-flake garage, a garage with a home gym, and decorative and solid-colour commercial resin floors. Use the photos to discuss the look you want; the coating build and texture still need to suit your own concrete and traffic.
Ask about finish samples during your site assessment. Lighting, texture and colour can look different in person.
A residential garage, retail interior and busy parkade should not receive the same specification. We start with the loads, water exposure, cleaning routine and access requirements for each space.
Full-flake, quartz or solid-colour systems can suit vehicle parking, storage and workshop use. Preparation, edge repairs, tire exposure and traction at the garage entrance are reviewed before installation.
Explore garage floor systemsVehicle decks, ramps, utility rooms and walkways have different requirements. Where waterproofing or crack movement matters, a suitable traffic-bearing membrane may be needed instead of a standard epoxy floor coating.
Explore parkade traffic coatingsBalance colour, gloss, cleaning and wear resistance in customer-facing and support spaces. Entrances and spill-prone areas may need a different texture from dry display areas.
Explore commercial resin flooringSpecify the floor around forklifts, pallet jacks, turning points, joint damage and actual chemical exposure. Coating thickness and repairs should follow the duty of the floor, rather than appearance alone.
Explore warehouse floor coatingsThese terms describe different materials and finishes. A full-flake floor can combine a base coat, decorative flakes and a compatible wear coat. The complete system matters more than the name of one coating layer.
| System or finish | Where it may fit | What needs checking |
|---|---|---|
| Full-flake resin flooring | Garages, workshops and selected shared areas | Concrete preparation, broadcast coverage, topcoat, texture and vehicle use |
| Solid-colour epoxy | Commercial interiors, utility rooms and suitably specified working floors | Required coating thickness, wear, chemicals and substrate condition |
| Quartz broadcast flooring | Wet-use rooms and working areas needing a textured finish | Aggregate, cleanability, drainage and the required traction |
| Polyaspartic or urethane topcoat | A compatible wear coat where cure schedule, abrasion or light exposure matters | Manufacturer-approved compatibility, installation conditions and cure limits |
| Urethane cement or specialty resin | Selected production, chemical-exposure and washdown areas | Specific chemical and temperature exposure, thickness and detailing |
| Traffic-bearing membrane | Parkades and decks requiring a specified waterproofing system | Slab movement, cracks, drains, terminations, ramps and vehicle traffic |
A resin floor is not automatically waterproof, non-slip or resistant to every chemical. Performance depends on the selected system, detailing and maintenance.
Use these planning ranges to start a budget discussion. A written site-specific quote is needed to confirm the system, preparation, repairs and total project cost.
$6.50–$11.50 CAD / sq ft
Planning range for suitable garage and lighter-use commercial floor coating projects.
$7.50–$13.50 CAD / sq ft
Planning range where working-floor requirements influence the coating build and preparation.
$8.50–$15.50+ CAD / sq ft
Planning range for more demanding scopes; waterproofing and repair requirements vary substantially.
Old coating removal, contaminated concrete, moisture treatment, spalls, joint repairs, cove base, striping and phased access can change the price. Smaller projects may have a minimum charge. Ask the written quote to identify inclusions, exclusions, applicable taxes and any separately priced repairs.
Request a Burnaby Flooring QuoteCoating over a weak or contaminated surface can undermine adhesion. Existing finishes and contamination are assessed so grinding, removal or further treatment can be included in the scope.
A dry-looking surface does not establish that concrete is suitable for coating. Moisture assessment and testing are planned around the slab and the selected manufacturer's requirements.
Damaged concrete needs an appropriate repair before coating. Moving joints and active cracks require their own detail; simply filling and coating across them may not accommodate movement.
Texture must balance traction with cleaning. Existing slope, ponding, thresholds and drains are reviewed separately because a coating alone does not correct drainage.
Review floor area, concrete condition, traffic, exposure, finish preferences and access. Agree on the coating system and repair scope in the written proposal.
Mechanically prepare the concrete to the specified profile and complete the agreed repairs. Confirm the substrate is ready before applying the coating.
Apply the specified primer, body coats, broadcast finish and compatible topcoat as required. Complete the agreed edges, coving, joints and line markings.
Confirm separate reopening times for foot traffic, vehicles, equipment and cleaning. Provide maintenance guidance appropriate to the installed system.
Installation time and full cure are different. Temperature, repairs, moisture conditions and the selected products affect the schedule. For occupied commercial or strata buildings, discuss work zones, resident notices, ventilation, material staging and access before setting a closure date.
We assess projects in North and South Burnaby, including Brentwood, Metrotown, Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Edmonds, Deer Lake, Government Road, Lake City and Big Bend. Tell us whether the property is a detached garage, strata building, street-front business or industrial unit so we can discuss the right access and preparation requirements.
For leased commercial spaces or shared strata property, identify the approvals needed for the work and confirm permitted working hours before installation is scheduled.
Neither label decides the best floor on its own. Compare the complete system: preparation, primer, base coat, decorative finish, topcoat and cure requirements. Polyaspartic products may suit a faster schedule or particular wear-coat needs when compatible with the substrate and other layers.
Often, but the existing surface must be assessed first. Loose paint, weak concrete and contamination may need removal or repair. The quote should identify the preparation required rather than assume that the old coating is a suitable base.
A standard epoxy floor coating should not be assumed to waterproof a parkade. The structure may need a specified traffic-bearing membrane with appropriate crack, joint, drain and perimeter details. We review the intended use before recommending a system.
The selected manufacturer's cure requirements and site conditions determine reopening. Foot traffic, vehicle traffic, equipment placement and chemical exposure can have different waiting periods. Confirm those milestones in writing before installation.
No floor finish eliminates slipping. Aggregate and topcoat texture can improve traction, but water, oil, dust, footwear and cleaning affect performance. Wet entrances and ramps need particular attention when specifying texture and maintenance.
Yes, when the floor system suits the garage use, but resin flooring is a hard surface. Separate rubber mats may be appropriate for exercise comfort and equipment protection. Check mat compatibility and keep the surface beneath them clean and dry.
Send the Burnaby property location, approximate floor area, current floor photos, intended use and preferred installation window. Include pictures of cracks, old coatings, drains and damaged areas. A site assessment is needed to confirm preparation and the final scope.
Show us the concrete and tell us how the space operates. We can discuss finish options, preparation, repairs, pricing and a practical installation schedule.
