Restaurant & Hospitality Epoxy Flooring in Vancouver & BC

Durable, hygienic, and slip-resistant floors engineered for restaurants, cafes, hotels, bars, food courts, and hospitality venues. We design and install high-performance epoxy, polyurethane, and polyaspartic systems that stand up to spills, cleaning, and heavy foot traffic across Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and the BC Interior.

Why Epoxy Flooring Matters for Restaurants & Hospitality

Hospitality spaces must deliver on two fronts: an inviting guest experience and a facility that runs safely and efficiently behind the scenes. Floors are central to both. In dining rooms, lobbies, and corridors, surfaces need to be visually appealing and easy to maintain. In kitchens and back-of-house areas, floors must be sanitary, chemical-resistant, and slip-resistant under wet conditions.

Traditional flooring (tile, sheet vinyl, or bare concrete) can harbor grime in grout lines, delaminate under moisture, or chip under impact. A seamless resinous system eliminates dirt-catching seams, creates a continuous moisture barrier, and withstands the rigors of daily cleaning. The result is a safer workplace, an elevated brand image, and fewer disruptions from repairs.

Engineered Systems for Front & Back-of-House

Epoxy Base Systems

Epoxy offers outstanding adhesion to properly prepared concrete, high compressive strength, and robust chemical resistance. We specify 100% solids epoxies to reduce VOCs and maximize build thickness. For dining rooms and corridors, we can incorporate decorative flake or quartz to achieve texture, color consistency, and slip resistance.

Polyurethane/PU Topcoats

Polyurethane topcoats add flexibility, abrasion resistance, and UV stability. This is ideal for spaces exposed to sunlight or thermal movement. In front-of-house, PU topcoats help preserve color and finish under daily wear. In service corridors, they enhance durability and ease of maintenance.

Polyaspartic Fast-Cure Systems

Need minimal downtime? Polyaspartic topcoats cure rapidly, often allowing return to service in a day. This is a strong choice for businesses that need to keep doors open with phased work overnight or on off-days.

Textured, Non-Slip Profiles

We tailor slip resistance using quartz or aluminum-oxide broadcasts and micro-texture options. This allows us to dial in an R-rating style profile for wet or greasy areas while keeping front-of-house surfaces comfortable and easy to clean.

Moisture & Substrate Considerations

We test moisture vapor emission and concrete relative humidity to determine if MVR primers or mitigation layers are required. Proper moisture management protects your investment and prevents bubbling or delamination.

Typical Restaurant & Hospitality Applications

Dining Rooms & Lounges

Decorative flake or quartz systems deliver consistent color and a refined finish that works with your lighting and interior design. We balance aesthetics with the micro-texture needed to reduce slips while maintaining easy maintenance.

Commercial Kitchens & Dish Pits

High-build systems with aggressive slip ratings, cove bases for wall protection, and chemical-resistant topcoats are specified to withstand heat, oil, and sanitation regimens.

Bars, Cafes & Server Stations

Medium-texture finishes resist sugar and acid staining, with topcoats that stand up to repeated spills and rapid cleaning cycles.

Corridors & Storage Areas

Durable, low-sheen finishes reduce scuff visibility and simplify cleaning in high-traffic back-of-house routes.

Restrooms & Vestibules

Seamless floors with integral cove and moisture sealing protect against splash zones and frequent mopping.

Our Installation Process

1. Site Assessment & Moisture Testing — We evaluate substrate condition, drainage, and use patterns.
2. Surface Preparation — Shot blasting, diamond grinding, and crack/spall repairs for optimal adhesion.
3. Priming & Build Coats — Moisture-tolerant primers where needed; body coats tailored to your loads.
4. Texture & Finish — Quartz/flake broadcasts or micro-texture, then topcoat selection for sheen and performance.
5. Phased Turnover — Work is staged to minimize disruption and allow areas to reopen quickly.

Featured Project: Busy Downtown Bistro

A high-turnover bistro required a seamless, attractive floor in the dining area and a heavy-duty non-slip system in the kitchen—without shutting down for a week. We staged the work over two nights: night one handled the kitchen with an MVR primer, broadcast quartz, and fast-cure polyaspartic topcoat; night two completed the dining room with a decorative flake system. The restaurant reopened for lunch service both days. Post-install, the GM reported reduced slip incidents and faster nightly cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do restaurant epoxy floors last?

With proper installation, cleaning, and timely re-topcoating, resinous floors commonly provide many years of service in hospitality environments. Actual lifespan depends on traffic, cleaning methods, and exposure to heat and chemicals.

Are epoxy floors slippery when wet?

We engineer slip resistance using quartz or additive textures and select finishes suited to the area’s wet conditions. Kitchens typically receive higher traction profiles than front-of-house spaces.

Can you install over tile?

Often yes, provided the tile is firmly bonded and we prepare the surface correctly. In some cases, removal is recommended to address moisture or movement. We’ll advise after on-site assessment.

How fast can we reopen?

With polyaspartic or fast-cure topcoats and phased work, many areas can reopen within 24–48 hours. Timelines depend on temperature, humidity, and system thickness.

What maintenance is needed?

Routine sweeping/mopping and prompt cleanup of oils and acids. Avoid overly aggressive pads that could prematurely dull the finish. We provide a maintenance guide with every install.
