Quartz Epoxy Flooring in Vancouver — What It Is and What It Costs

Quartz epoxy flooring is a broadcast epoxy system where finely graded silica quartz aggregate — not vinyl chips, but crushed mineral quartz — is broadcast into a wet epoxy base coat at full saturation. It costs $8–12 per square foot installed and is the preferred system for Vancouver commercial kitchens, food processing facilities, pool surrounds, locker rooms, brewery floors, and any application where maximum slip resistance and chemical resistance are required.

Silica quartz is harder and more chemically inert than vinyl chip aggregate. When fully broadcast and sealed with a urethane or polyaspartic topcoat, a quartz epoxy system provides a consistently textured, anti-slip surface that meets the coefficient of friction requirements for commercial food service, healthcare, and industrial environments. The natural quartz aggregate is available in buff, tan, white, grey, and mixed blends — the colour range is more limited than vinyl flake systems, but the performance characteristics are significantly higher.

In Vancouver's commercial building environment, quartz broadcast epoxy is frequently specified in restaurant kitchens, food and beverage processing, brewery and winery production floors, pool mechanical rooms, and healthcare facilities. It is also widely used in industrial wash-down bays and clean-room environments. All installations include ASTM moisture testing, comply with WorkSafeBC standards, and where applicable, meet BC Building Code requirements for commercial slip resistance.

How We Install Quartz Epoxy Flooring in Vancouver

Every installation follows this sequence. Surface preparation and moisture testing are never skipped regardless of system type.

01
Site Assessment
On-site visit to evaluate the slab, check for prior coatings, map cracks and drainage grade.
02
ASTM Moisture Testing
F1869 calcium chloride or F2170 RH probe test on every slab — non-negotiable before any coating.
03
Diamond Grinding
Planetary grinder opens the concrete surface to CSP 2–3 — the profile required for mechanical adhesion.
04
Crack & Joint Repair
Polyurea crack fill and joint treatment on all visible cracks, spalls, and control joints.
05
Primer Coat
Low-viscosity epoxy primer saturated into the prepared concrete. Moisture-mitigating primer applied where MVER is elevated.
06
Base Coat
Primary epoxy or polyaspartic layer applied at specified mil thickness. Flake or colour chip broadcast where selected.
07
Topcoat Seal
Aliphatic polyaspartic or urethane topcoat for UV stability, abrasion resistance, and the specified finish level.
08
Cure & Handoff
Foot traffic in 24 hrs, vehicle in 72 hrs, full cure in 7 days. Written care guide included.

Quartz Epoxy Flooring — FAQ

Answers to the questions we hear on every quartz epoxy flooring quote call in Vancouver.

Quartz epoxy flooring is an epoxy system where silica quartz aggregate — crushed mineral quartz, not vinyl chips — is broadcast into a wet epoxy base coat at full saturation. The result is a consistently textured, hard, anti-slip surface that provides higher chemical and slip resistance than standard flake or solid colour epoxy systems. It is the standard specification for commercial kitchens, food service environments, pool surrounds, and industrial wet areas.
Quartz broadcast epoxy in Vancouver costs $8–12 per sq ft installed. A commercial kitchen (200–500 sq ft) runs $1,600–$6,000. A brewery production floor (500–2,000 sq ft) runs $4,000–$24,000. Pricing includes diamond grinding, moisture testing, primer, base coat, full quartz broadcast, and commercial-grade topcoat. Industrial and large commercial spaces are quoted on-site.
The key differences are the aggregate material and the intended use. Flake epoxy uses vinyl chips — lightweight polymer flakes chosen primarily for aesthetics. Quartz epoxy uses crushed silica quartz — a hard mineral aggregate chosen primarily for performance. Quartz provides higher slip resistance, better chemical resistance, and a harder wearing surface. Flake offers more colour and visual variety. For commercial food service, pool surrounds, and industrial wet areas, quartz is the professional specification.
Not mandated by name, but the BC Building Code and Vancouver Environmental Health requirements for commercial kitchens specify minimum slip resistance coefficients and surface cleanability standards that quartz broadcast epoxy consistently meets. It is the industry-standard specification for restaurant and food service kitchen floors. We can provide documentation of the installed system's slip resistance rating for health authority submissions.
A professionally installed quartz epoxy floor in Vancouver typically lasts 10–15 years in commercial kitchen and food service environments, and 15–20 years in industrial and pool applications with appropriate maintenance. The natural silica aggregate is more abrasion-resistant than vinyl chip and the surface hardness is higher. Recoating the topcoat at 8–12 years extends the base system's life significantly without full removal.
