Epoxy Flooring Burnaby

In Burnaby BC, epoxy flooring costs between $5 and $18 per square foot depending on the system selected, and most residential garage floors fall in the $2,000 to $4,000 range for a complete installation including surface preparation. Our team installs epoxy and polyaspartic floor systems across all of Burnaby: Metrotown strata towers, Brentwood highrise developments, Burnaby Heights craftsman homes, Big Bend industrial buildings, and commercial spaces near BCIT and SFU.

Burnaby's geography matters for epoxy performance. Much of the city sits at low elevation, with residential areas adjacent to Burnaby Lake and the Fraser River floodplain, both of which raise ground moisture levels in nearby slabs. We perform ASTM F1869 moisture emission testing on every slab before applying any coating. This step, skipped by many contractors, is the single most common reason epoxy floors delaminate prematurely across Greater Vancouver.

From Metrotown to the Big Bend industrial corridor, all our Burnaby installations meet WorkSafeBC standards for epoxy resin handling and application. Contact us for a written quote with no obligation.

Burnaby's terrain spans from the Burnaby Mountain highlands (where Simon Fraser University sits at approximately 365 metres elevation) down to the low-lying Fraser River floodplain around Big Bend, Edmonds, and the Brunette River corridor. Properties at lower elevations, particularly older residential construction near Burnaby Lake and the Still Creek watershed, frequently show concrete slabs with high moisture vapour emission rates.

BC's coastal climate delivers consistent ground moisture through fall and winter. Many homes built before the 1990 amendments to the BC Building Code lack adequate sub-slab vapour barriers, and those slabs routinely test above 3 lb/1,000 sq ft/24 hours. Standard epoxy primers are rated for readings at or below that threshold. Apply one above it, and delamination within 12 to 24 months is likely.

As part of every Burnaby consultation, we conduct an ASTM moisture test and present the results before a coating system is specified. Where readings are high, we select a moisture-mitigating primer rated for higher MVER. This is not an optional add-on. It is the difference between a 15-year floor and a floor that fails before the first winter is out.
