Security Control Room Epoxy Flooring

Security Control Room Epoxy Flooring — Vancouver & British Columbia

Static-Control • ESD-Safe • Built for Mission-Critical Environments

Security control rooms, command centres, dispatch rooms and monitoring hubs are the nerve centres of modern facilities. Banks of servers, sensitive electronics, operator consoles and 24/7 staff activity place heavy demands on the flooring system. Standard painted slabs and commercial vinyl are not designed for continuous traffic, static buildup, rolling loads, and equipment heat in mission-critical environments.

Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs engineered epoxy, urethane and electrostatic dissipative (ESD) flooring systems designed specifically for security control rooms and technical spaces across Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island and the BC Interior. These systems help control static, support heavy equipment, reduce dust and create a clean, professional environment where people and technology can perform at their best.

Why Security & Control Rooms Need Specialized Epoxy & ESD Flooring

Control rooms and security suites are not typical office spaces. They operate around the clock, host dense electronics, and demand uninterrupted uptime. Ordinary floors can create problems that quietly erode reliability and operator performance over time.

• Static buildup that can damage sensitive electronics or interfere with communications equipment
• Dust and particulate that infiltrate servers, racks and cooling equipment
• Glare and reflections that strain operators’ eyes and reduce screen visibility
• Trip hazards and uneven surfaces caused by cracked concrete or failing finishes
• Chair casters and rolling loads wearing grooves into soft flooring materials

A properly designed epoxy and ESD flooring system addresses these risks at once. Priority One Epoxy Flooring focuses on mission-critical performance by specifying systems with:

• Controlled electrical resistance to safely dissipate static charges
• High compressive strength for racks, consoles and equipment mounts
• Non-dusting, seamless surfaces that are easy to clean and maintain
• Chair-friendly traction for safety without making chairs difficult to move
• Low-VOC, low-odour options to reduce disruption in occupied buildings

Where Security Control Room Epoxy Flooring Makes the Biggest Impact

Security & Surveillance Control Rooms

Central security suites combine CCTV walls, access control systems and intrusion monitoring. ESD-safe epoxy flooring supports sensitive electronics while providing a uniform surface for operators, ergonomic chairs and equipment carts.

Network Operations Centres (NOCs) & Data Monitoring Rooms

NOCs rely on continuous uptime and clean environments. Seamless resin floors minimize dust, support predictable maintenance, and provide static-control properties that complement grounding and facility procedures.

Emergency Dispatch & 911 Communication Centres

Dispatch environments operate 24/7 under high workload. Durable, low-maintenance flooring reduces housekeeping time, improves traction around busy consoles, and maintains chair-friendly rolling performance for long shifts.

Utilities, Power Plant & Substation Control Rooms

Control rooms in utilities and power facilities must withstand heavy traffic, occasional moisture and industrial contaminants. High-build epoxy and urethane systems deliver chemical resistance and robust mechanical performance for these conditions.

Transportation & Traffic Operations Centres

Rail, port and traffic management centres integrate multiple data feeds and monitoring systems. A well-designed epoxy or ESD floor keeps spaces tidy, safe and visually consistent while protecting infrastructure from static and wear.

Industrial & Manufacturing Control Rooms

In manufacturing environments, control rooms often sit adjacent to production floors. Resinous flooring creates a clean, controlled bridge between plant activity and monitoring space, with resistance to dust, vibration and rolling loads.

Epoxy & ESD Flooring Systems Engineered for Control Rooms

Static-Dissipative (ESD) Epoxy Flooring

Static-dissipative epoxy flooring safely conducts static charges away from people and equipment through an integrated conductive network. This helps reduce electrostatic discharge risk in spaces with sensitive electronics.

Conductive Epoxy & Urethane Systems

For environments requiring tighter resistance ranges, conductive epoxy and urethane floors provide more direct pathways for static control. When paired with grounding details and procedures, these systems support robust ESD management in higher-risk areas.

High-Build Control Room Epoxy

In control rooms without strict ESD requirements, high-build epoxy creates a seamless, easy-to-clean, highly durable surface. These systems resist caster wear, rolling loads and routine cleaning while maintaining a professional finish.

Low-Glare, Low-Contrast Finishes

Priority One Epoxy Flooring can specify matte or satin finishes that reduce glare on monitors and video walls. Neutral colour palettes help limit visual distractions and operator fatigue during long shifts.

Slip-Resistant but Chair-Friendly Textures

Not every anti-slip finish is appropriate for control rooms. Texture is tuned to provide secure footing while still allowing chairs and consoles to move smoothly—improving safety without compromising ergonomics.

Moisture & Vapor Mitigation Layers

Where concrete moisture is a concern, Priority One Epoxy Flooring can incorporate moisture-tolerant primers or full mitigation systems beneath the floor to reduce the risk of bubbles, blisters and premature failure—especially in older or below-grade spaces.

Security Control Room Flooring Installation Process

Mission-critical spaces demand disciplined planning and clean execution. Priority One Epoxy Flooring follows documented steps to deliver reliable, predictable results while coordinating access and operational needs.

1. Consultation & requirements review: Layout, equipment zones, static-control needs, access paths and operating schedule.
2. Concrete evaluation: Moisture testing and assessment of existing coatings or adhesives to confirm the right prep method.
3. Surface preparation: Diamond grinding or shot blasting to remove contaminants and create the correct profile for adhesion.
4. Repairs & smoothing: Cracks, spalls and defects repaired; low areas filled to support consoles and rolling loads.
5. Conductive layers (as required): Conductive primers and grounding network installed where ESD performance is specified.
6. Build coats: Static-dissipative, conductive or high-build coats applied to achieve target thickness, colour and texture.
7. Topcoat & finish: Durable low-glare topcoat installed for wear, chemical resistance and easier maintenance.
8. Quality control: Visual inspection, thickness checks, and resistance testing (when required), plus maintenance guidance.

Priority One Epoxy Flooring coordinates with IT, security and facility teams to phase work, protect equipment and minimize disruption to live systems.

Case Study — Security Control Room in Metro Vancouver

A critical infrastructure client in Metro Vancouver operated a busy security control room with aging vinyl tile. Over time, static buildup became a concern, tiles loosened and chair casters began carving paths across the floor. Dust accumulation increased around equipment racks, and the space no longer reflected the importance of the operation.

Priority One Epoxy Flooring developed a static-dissipative epoxy flooring system with a low-glare finish. Work was scheduled in phases, relocating consoles temporarily so operations could continue with minimal downtime. The concrete was ground, repaired and primed with conductive layers before the ESD epoxy and topcoat were applied.

After completion, the client reported:

• Improved static control and higher confidence around sensitive equipment
• Faster cleaning and less dirt accumulation under consoles and racks
• A calmer, more professional aesthetic that supported operator focus

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is ESD flooring important in security control rooms?

Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive electronics, corrupt data or disrupt communications equipment. ESD flooring helps control and safely dissipate static charges, supporting the overall grounding strategy of the room.

Do all control rooms need static-dissipative flooring?

Not every control room requires ESD-level performance, but many benefit from it. Priority One Epoxy Flooring reviews your equipment, risk tolerance and standards to determine whether a static-dissipative system or a high-build epoxy system is the best fit.

Can epoxy flooring be installed while systems stay online?

In many cases, yes. Priority One Epoxy Flooring can phase work, isolate areas and schedule installation during lower-activity periods. Coordination with your team helps protect equipment and maintain access where needed.

Will chairs and consoles roll easily on ESD epoxy flooring?
