A shop floor coating shields the concrete in a working bay from oil, coolant, road salt and falling steel. It is built heavier than a house garage floor, with grit locked in so mechanics stay on their feet when the bay is wet.
Shops in Prince George repair log trucks, highway tractors, loaders and skidders, and most of that iron arrives packed with snow and mud. Our shop floor coating is made for that kind of traffic, from a single heated bay on a Salmon Valley acreage to a row of service doors off the Hart Highway.
A loaded truck can carry a small snowbank into a warm shop, and all of it ends up on the floor. A smooth finish is fine dry and a hazard wet. WorkSafeBC's OHS Regulation expects floors to be kept free of slipping hazards, and the floor finish is a big part of meeting that.
We broadcast aluminum oxide or quartz into the base and lock it under the wear layer. You can choose a coarser texture at doors and drains and a finer one around the benches, where people kneel.
Trench drains and overhead doors are where shop floors give out first. Water sits along the drain edges, and the slab at the door takes the hardest hits from tires, chains and plow blades.
We grind and seal the drain edges with care and carry the shop floor coating right up to the grate. At the door line we add extra build and a harder wear layer. Broken edges and spalled spots get rebuilt with epoxy mortar before coating, and our concrete floor repair page explains that step.
Tracks, steel cribbing and jack stands put point loads on a floor that a pickup never does. For heavy equipment bays we build the floor with more primer and a deeper broadcast layer, and we can switch to a slurry or trowelled mortar where the loads are extreme.
Hot work matters too. Welding spatter and grinder sparks can mark a thin coat, so welding areas get a heavier build or a mortar that shrugs off the heat. For mill maintenance shops and process buildings with chemicals in the mix, our industrial epoxy flooring is the better fit.
Shop floor coating in Prince George usually runs about $7 to $13 per square foot, depending on the build, the repairs and how many bays need to stay open while we work. Mortar systems for heavy equipment sit at the top of that range.
We can work over a long weekend or one bay at a time, so the shop keeps billing. Phone (778) 744-5382 for a shop floor coating price, or head back to the Prince George Epoxy Flooring home page for our other floor systems.
Lots of projects pair a garage coat with a basement floor, or a shop coat with slab repairs.
Garage floor coating keeps salty slush and drip oil sitting on the surface, where a squeegee can move them, rather than soaking into the slab. Every garage gets a diamond grind first, which gives the resin real concrete to grab.

Basement epoxy flooring replaces a cold, powdery slab with a sealed surface that shrugs off water, dropped weights and spilled detergent. Lower levels that have ever had a damp corner are where it pays off most.

Industrial epoxy flooring gives a plant a thick, sealed surface built for forklifts, hot water, oil and chemicals. The thickness is set area by area, according to what rolls and spills across each part of the floor.

Polyaspartic floor coating is the quick-setting option for cold Prince George garages and shops. Each coat firms up within hours, even in temperatures that would stall ordinary epoxy, and most floors take a vehicle about two days later.

A warehouse floor coating ends concrete dust, brightens the building and protects the slab from forklift wear. It is one of the least expensive ways to make a warehouse easier to clean and safer to work in.

A coated commercial floor is joint-free, mops clean, resists stains and holds up to carts, rolling chairs and winter boots. It replaces tired tile, carpet and bare concrete in clinics, offices, shops, showrooms and staff rooms.

Concrete floor repair is the groundwork under every good coating. We chase out cracks, rebuild chipped joint edges, fill pits and patch scaled spots, and we fix failed coatings and floors worn thin as well.

Spilled acid, caustic, solvent and fuel will eat bare concrete and ordinary epoxy, and a chemical resistant floor coating is the barrier that stops them. Battery rooms, chemical stores, labs, wash bays and process areas are where it belongs.

A metallic floor is a decorative resin finish with swirls of shimmering colour that look like polished marble or stone. It goes over concrete in basements, home bars, offices and showrooms.
