Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1Why should I choose epoxy flooring over other flooring options?
Epoxy and polyaspartic flooring offer several benefits over alternative floor systems. It has a low lifecycle cost thanks to its longevity and durability. It’s easy to maintain and, unlike many commercial systems, never needs to be polished or waxed. It doesn’t even require special care instructions aside from mopping and sweeping. It’s one of the few floor systems strong enough to withstand even the most demanding factory and commercial settings without deteriorating. Thanks to its attractive design options, it can be used in public commercial settings as well as in your home.

3Any difference between Epoxy and Polyaspartic?
Epoxy and polyaspartic flooring differ in composition, with epoxy being a two-part epoxy resin system and polyaspartic being an advanced polyurethane variant. The key distinctions lie in their application and curing times, with epoxy having a longer curing period (12-24 hours) compared to polyaspartic, which cures rapidly within hours. Polyaspartic is renowned for its superior UV resistance and quick return to service, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring fast installation and durability, while epoxy offers strength and durability but with a longer downtime during installation.

5How long can an epoxy flooring system last?
The lifespan of epoxy and polyaspartic garage flooring installed by us at Prime Choice Flooring can be expected to last for many years. Our commitment to using high-quality materials, meticulous installation processes, and expert craftsmanship ensures durability and longevity. While the exact duration can vary based on factors like usage and maintenance, it's not uncommon for our epoxy and polyaspartic garage floors to last anywhere from 10 to 20 years or even longer, making them a reliable and long-term investment for your space.
6How long does it take to install an epoxy flooring system?
The amount of time necessary to professionally install an epoxy floor system depends on the size of the floor area and the condition of the concrete. Prepping the concrete typically takes more time than the epoxy installation itself. Professional epoxy install on a garage floor in Vancouver usually takes just 1-2 days. For large areas and custom epoxy designs, it may take several days to install the floor system. In commercial and industrial settings, we can use a fast-cure epoxy formulation to reduce downtime.
7Is epoxy good for garages?
Garage floor epoxy and polyaspartics are an excellent choice for epoxy flooring. It’s a surprisingly affordable way to stop concrete dusting and give your garage floor an attractive, low-care floor system that can resist stains and damage from gas and oil spills, dropped tools, hot tires, moisture, and other perils. With garage epoxy, you can finally use your garage for anything you’re imagining such as a personal workshop, clean storage space, or even a fitness center. Garage floor from Prime Choice Flooring in Vancouver also offers an excellent return on investment and may help boost your home’s value
8Is epoxy flooring affordable?
An epoxy concrete coating in Vancouver is actually very affordable, especially in terms of garage epoxy flooring.

10How much does epoxy flooring cost?
The cost of epoxy flooring can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the area, the type of epoxy system chosen, the condition of the existing floor, and any additional customization options. To provide you with an accurate cost estimate tailored to your specific project, we recommend contacting us directly. Our team will be more than happy to discuss your requirements and provide a detailed quote based on your needs.
11What do I need to do in preparation for your arrival?
There isn’t much you need to do to get ready for our Vancouver epoxy flooring contractors. Because prepping your concrete floor for the epoxy takes longer than the epoxy installation itself, it’s important that the entire floor be cleared of any furniture or clutter. There should be absolutely nothing on the floors that will need to be moved once we arrive. We also recommend a good sweeping of your concrete before your scheduled epoxy installation (however, it's important to not wash the floors).
