Aircraft Hangar Flooring Systems for Aviation Facilities

Seamless • Fuel & Hydraulic-Resistant • Built for Point Loads & Tow Paths

Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs high-performance resin flooring for hangars, MRO bays, and aircraft service areas across Vancouver & British Columbia. Our epoxy, polyaspartic, and urethane-cement systems are engineered to resist jet fuel, Skydrol®/hydraulic fluids, de-icers, and heavy wheeled traffic—delivering a bright, non-slip surface that improves safety, cleanability, and long-term durability.

Engineered Hangar Floors for MRO Bays, Tow Paths & Service Areas

Hangar environments demand more than “industrial epoxy.” Aircraft operations introduce fuel exposure, hydraulic fluids (including Skydrol®), de-icers, rubber tire plasticizers, and heavy point loads from jacks, tugs, and ground support equipment. We build seamless resin systems designed for traction, cleanability, and long service life.

Why Aircraft Hangars Need Purpose-Built Flooring

Hangars face corrosive exposure (jet fuel, hydraulic fluids, de-icers), heavy aircraft point loads, forklift abrasion, and frequent washdowns. Standard concrete can spall and absorb contaminants—raising safety risks and increasing maintenance costs.

Our approach: mechanically profiled substrates (typically CSP 4–6), chemically resistant builds with tuned traction, and optional integrated details like seamless coves, trench drains, and transitions to improve cleanability and protect walls.

Application Areas — Where Hangar Flooring Matters Most

Maintenance & Aircraft Storage Bays

High-duty epoxy or urethane-cement layers resist chemical attack, support wheel loads, and maintain a safe, non-slip surface.

Fuel & Service Stations

Chemical-resistant topcoats handle hydrocarbon spills and thermal cycling. Textured zones improve footing around refuelling equipment.

Workshops, Corridors & Tow Paths

High-build systems improve abrasion resistance and cleanability for carts, tugs, tire traffic, and frequent movement.

Offices & Observation Areas

Decorative quartz/flake or polished resin finishes provide a premium look while remaining tough and low-maintenance.

Flooring Systems We Install — Engineered for Aviation

Urethane Mortar (Polyurethane-Cement)

Thermal-shock tolerant, high bond strength, non-dusting. Ideal for maintenance bays, fuel handling areas, and wet-wash zones.

High-Build Epoxy & Quartz Broadcast

Abrasion and chemical resistance with adjustable slip resistance. Optional polyurethane topcoats support stain resistance and maintain brightness.

Fast-Cure Polyaspartic

Return-to-service in ~24–48 hours—ideal for phased work and minimal disruption.

Waterproof Membranes & Seamless Cove Bases

Helps protect moisture-sensitive slabs and wash zones. Coves and drains reduce chemical buildup and speed cleaning.

Our Installation Process — Precise, Documented, Reliable

Every project begins with a site assessment (moisture testing, joint inspection, pull-off adhesion) to address root causes before application.

  1. Site Consultation & Testing: Concrete strength, moisture, pH, and adhesion pull tests.
  2. Substrate Repair: Crack injection, spall repair, and joint replacement (flexible urethane).
  3. Surface Preparation: Shot blasting or diamond grinding to the correct CSP profile.
  4. Primer & Base: Moisture-tolerant primers and scratch coats for uniform adhesion.
  5. System Build-Up: Broadcast aggregates, urethane-cement or epoxy builds, coves, and drains.
  6. Topcoats: Protective topcoats with traction tuned for the operating zone.
  7. QA & Handover: Adhesion verification, coverage logs, care guide, and written warranties.

Phased installations are available to keep operations moving; we coordinate closely with facility teams.

Case Study — Vancouver Private Aircraft Hangar

A Vancouver hangar with fuel etching and concrete spalling in maintenance bays was remediated with crack/spall repairs and a urethane-cement system plus seamless coves and drains. The new floor resists chemical attack, supports aircraft traffic, and reduced cleaning time—improving safety and efficiency for the facility team.

Service Area

We install aircraft hangar flooring across Vancouver and British Columbia, including Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, and the Interior.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flooring is best for hangar maintenance areas?

Urethane-cement (urethane mortar) or high-build epoxy broadcast systems—both offer chemical resistance, thermal-shock tolerance, and abrasion protection.

How long does installation take?

Fast-cure polyaspartic can handle foot traffic in ~24–48 hours. Full urethane-cement builds often need several days; we can phase work to maintain operations.

Can you install over existing concrete or coatings?

Yes. Proper assessment, remediation, and mechanical profiling (shot blast/grind) are essential for long-term adhesion.

Are epoxy floors safe and non-slip?

Yes. We tune texture/aggregate to meet wet-area slip resistance while keeping surfaces cleanable.

Do you provide warranties and documentation?

Yes—written warranties, QA logs, adhesion reports, and maintenance guidelines are provided with every project.
