Retail Store Epoxy Flooring — Vancouver, BC

Retail Store Epoxy Flooring — Vancouver, BC & Canada

Seamless • Durable • Easy-to-Maintain Flooring Solutions

In Vancouver’s busy retail environment, floors face constant demands: heavy foot traffic, rolling carts, spills, scuffs, cleaning chemicals, and high visual expectations. Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs engineered resinous flooring systems designed specifically for retail stores, department stores, shopping centres, and boutiques across Metro Vancouver and British Columbia.

Our retail epoxy systems are built to reduce dust, improve cleanability, increase slip resistance where needed, and maintain a professional look that supports your brand—both in customer-facing areas and back-of-house zones.

Why Retail Spaces Need Purpose-Built Flooring

Retail floors take repeated wear that quickly damages ordinary materials. Daily cart traffic, dropped merchandise, cleaning equipment, and chemical exposure can cause staining, chipping, and surface breakdown—especially on porous, jointed, or worn surfaces.

A properly installed epoxy flooring system creates a seamless, non-porous surface that’s easier to clean, resists chemical attack, and can be tuned for traction and appearance. This reduces maintenance, improves safety, and extends service life in high-traffic retail areas.

Application Areas — Where Retail Flooring Matters Most

Department Stores

Department stores require flooring that holds up in aisles and entrances while still looking polished. Epoxy systems perform well in public areas and back-of-house zones with options for décor finishes and traction control.

Boutiques & Showrooms

Boutique spaces prioritize design and customer experience. Decorative epoxy finishes can deliver an upscale look without sacrificing durability or cleanability.

Shopping Centres & Retail Corridors

Shopping centres and corridors see heavy daily traffic and frequent cleaning. Seamless flooring simplifies maintenance, reduces dust, and maintains a consistent finish under constant use.

Food Courts & Beverage Sections

Spill-prone areas benefit from stain resistance and slip resistance. Texture and topcoat selection can reduce slip risk while keeping cleaning practical.

Stock Rooms & Back-of-House Areas

Storage zones, corridors, and receiving areas experience rolling loads and abrasion. High-build epoxy and broadcast systems handle this wear while keeping maintenance manageable.

Retail Flooring Systems We Install

High-Build Epoxy & Broadcast Systems

Durable epoxy builds with optional quartz or decorative broadcast aggregates for abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and improved traction in high-use areas.

Decorative Epoxy Finishes

Decorative flake and metallic finishes can create a premium look for customer-facing spaces while staying easy to maintain.

Polyaspartic & Fast-Cure Solutions

Fast-cure options can support phased installs and quicker reopen timelines where downtime must be minimized.

Anti-Slip & Hygienic Coatings

Traction can be added to entries, ramps, and spill zones. Non-porous systems support commercial cleaning routines and reduce dust.

Waterproofing & Cove Base Detailing

Where moisture is a concern, we can incorporate membrane layers and seamless cove detailing to protect edges and simplify cleaning.

Our Installation Process

Retail flooring needs performance and a clean finish. We follow a structured process to improve longevity and reduce disruption:

1. Site assessment: Moisture testing, substrate evaluation, and mapping high-wear areas.
2. Surface preparation: Grinding or shot blasting to create the correct bond profile.
3. Repair: Cracks, joints, and damaged zones repaired for performance and appearance.
4. Primer/base: Adhesion build and moisture strategy where required.
5. System build: Coating layers, broadcast media, and traction tuning by area.
6. Topcoat & cure: Chemical-resistant topcoat; return-to-service guidance.
7. QC: Coverage, detailing, finish checks, and handover notes.

Case Study — High-Traffic Retail Space (Metro Vancouver)

A high-traffic retail space needed a durable finish for aisles and spill zones with improved traction near entrances. We installed a high-build epoxy system with broadcast media and a chemical-resistant topcoat. The result was a seamless, brighter-looking floor that reduced maintenance, improved safety, and held up under daily traffic.
