Epoxy Explained: The Foundation of Durable Floor Coatings

Epoxy is a high-performance flooring system. Formed by mixing resin and hardener, epoxy creates a chemical bond with concrete, resulting in a tough, seamless floor that’s both protective and visually appealing.

We take this one step further with advanced epoxy topping options, integrating Microaggregates for increased resilience in high-traffic or impact-prone environments — particularly effective for garage floors and industrial settings.

Our process is precise. Every successful epoxy flooring installation begins with surface preparation. Grinding is essential to allow proper adhesion of the epoxy layer. Without it, coatings fail. That’s why we invest in the best grinding technology available, delivering concrete floor preparation that’s 50% faster than traditional methods.

Once grinding is complete, we apply epoxy coatings that penetrate and bond with the concrete, creating a dense, uniform floor resistant to wear, moisture, and chemicals. This isn’t just flooring. It’s performance engineered from the ground up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Epoxy Floor Coating & Topping

What is Epoxy Used For?

Epoxy is commonly used to protect and enhance floors in industrial, commercial, and residential spaces. It creates a strong, seamless surface that resists wear, chemicals, and moisture. Epoxy coatings are also used to create a uniform finish or upgrade the esthetic appeal of the area, by covering cracked, patched or deteriorated concrete floors.

In Vancouver, epoxy flooring is especially popular in garages, warehouses, retail stores, and workshops for its durability, clean finish, and low-maintenance upkeep.

How Long Does Epoxy Take to Dry?

Epoxy flooring typically dries to the touch within 12–24 hours, but full curing takes between 48 to 72 hours depending on site conditions like humidity and temperature. It’s important to allow the epoxy to fully harden before exposing it to heavy traffic or equipment to ensure a long-lasting, high-performance finish.

Is Epoxy Waterproof?

Yes, epoxy flooring is fully waterproof once cured. The seamless coating forms an impenetrable barrier that protects the underlying surface from spills, moisture, and even chemical exposure. This makes epoxy an ideal solution for areas prone to water, such as garages, basements, commercial kitchens, and industrial floors in Vancouver.

Is Epoxy Heat Resistant?

Standard epoxy flooring has moderate heat resistance and can typically withstand temperatures up to 150°F (65°C). For environments with higher heat exposure, we offer specialized epoxy topping systems that can handle thermal fluctuations and prevent damage. These options are ideal for industrial settings or commercial kitchens with elevated surface temperatures.

Is Epoxy Flooring Expensive?

While the upfront cost of epoxy flooring varies based on surface preparation, size, and coating type, it remains a cost-effective solution over time. Its durability, low maintenance, and extended lifespan provide excellent return on investment. In Vancouver’s competitive commercial market, epoxy flooring offers reliable performance without compromising on appearance or safety.

How Do I Choose the Right Epoxy Product?

Selecting the right epoxy product depends on your environment, intended use, and performance expectations. Factors like chemical resistance, impact resistance, slip resistance, and adhesion strength play a key role. For heavy-duty industrial spaces, we recommend epoxy resins with high abrasion resistance and durable topcoats.

How Long Does Epoxy Flooring Last?

With proper installation and care, epoxy floors can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. At CanWest Concrete Cutting & Coring, we use only high-performance materials and precise application methods to ensure maximum longevity. The lifespan of your flooring also depends on usage, traffic, and maintenance. In Vancouver’s industrial and commercial spaces, CanWest-installed epoxy flooring continues to deliver reliable performance year after year.

Are Epoxy Floors Slippery?

Epoxy floors can be slippery when wet, but we offer slip-resistant finishes to enhance safety. Textured aggregates or anti-slip additives are integrated during application to provide reliable traction without affecting the floor’s appearance. This makes epoxy a smart and safe choice for both residential garages and high-traffic industrial floors.

What’s the Difference Between Epoxy and Resin?

Epoxy is a specific type of resin known for its strength, durability, and chemical resistance. While all epoxies are resins, not all resins are epoxies. Other resin types like polyurethane or polyester differ in properties and applications. Epoxy is the preferred choice for flooring due to its superior bonding, longevity, and performance in demanding environments.
