When you manage a commercial or strata property, your flooring needs to be more than just functional. It needs to be durable, safe, low-maintenance, and look good doing it. For high-traffic areas, where wear and tear are constant, epoxy flooring continues to be the top choice for property managers across Kelowna and the Okanagan.
Here’s why this no-nonsense solution has earned its reputation.
1. Exceptional Durability Where It Counts
Whether it’s in an underground parkade, a storage room, or a maintenance corridor, property managers need flooring that can handle traffic—and lots of it. Epoxy coatings bond directly to the concrete surface and form a hard, seamless finish that resists cracking, chipping, abrasion, and chemical spills.
🔎 According to a 2024 study by CoatingsPro Magazine, professionally installed epoxy systems can last 10 to 20 years in commercial settings when properly maintained.
Epoxy doesn’t just hold up under pressure—it thrives there.
2. Low Maintenance, High Efficiency
Let’s face it—nobody wants to deal with floors that constantly need deep cleaning or special treatment. Epoxy floors are seamless and non-porous, meaning dirt, salt, and spills sit on the surface instead of soaking in. One mop, and they’re gone.
- Saves janitorial time and costs
- Resists oil, grease, and common chemical cleaners
- No grout lines, cracks, or exposed concrete to trap debris
💡 The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety recommends smooth, non-absorbent flooring in high-use public and commercial spaces to reduce slip risks and improve hygiene. Epoxy checks all those boxes.
3. Safer Surfaces for Tenants and Teams
High-traffic spaces come with higher risk—especially in winter months or wet areas like building entrances and parkade ramps. That’s where slip-resistant epoxy finishes come in. We can add a fine grit additive (like shark grip) to the topcoat to increase traction without compromising the smooth, clean appearance.
Ideal for:
- Parking garages
- Outdoor walkways
- Pool decks
- Service corridors
Reducing slip-and-fall risks isn’t just about safety—it’s about limiting liability.
4. Professional Aesthetic That Elevates Value
First impressions matter. A scuffed-up concrete floor can bring down the whole feel of a property. Epoxy gives you a sleek, polished look that can be customized with colour, flake blends, or gloss levels to suit any brand or building design.
Our most popular finishes for strata and commercial properties in Kelowna include:
- Flake floors for parkades and storage rooms
- Solid grey or slate in maintenance corridors
- Decorative coatings in common areas and lobbies
A 2022 commercial real estate report found that well-maintained, visually appealing flooring increases tenant satisfaction and improves perceived property value by up to 15%. It pays to make your floors look as good as they perform.
5. Fast Turnaround = Less Disruption
We know downtime is a major concern for property managers. The good news? Most epoxy floor installations are completed in 1–3 days, depending on the scope, and are back in service fast—especially when using polyaspartic topcoats, which cure much quicker than traditional epoxy.
We schedule around tenant use, minimize disruption, and leave the space cleaner than we found it. No jackhammering. No lengthy closures. Just a smooth, efficient upgrade that keeps your building running.
6. Versatility Across Multiple Areas of Your Property
One of the biggest wins for epoxy is its versatility. You can apply it in nearly every part of your building:
- Underground parkades
- Garbage rooms
- Janitorial closets
- Hallways and storage areas
- Commercial units
- Mechanical rooms
- Bike rooms and tenant storage
If it’s concrete, we can coat it. If it’s worn out, we can bring it back to life—and then some.

Epoxy Flooring FAQs for Property Managers
How long does an epoxy floor last in a commercial setting?
When installed properly and maintained well, epoxy floors can last 10+ years in high-traffic commercial environments. Factors like the type of coating system, usage intensity, and exposure to chemicals can affect lifespan, but many of our clients in Kelowna go years without needing reapplication.
Is epoxy safe for indoor common areas or parkades?
Yes! Our epoxy systems are low-VOC and safe for indoor use. We also offer slip-resistant additives to increase traction—especially important in parkades, stairwells, and entryways.
How long does installation take?
Most projects take 1–3 days, depending on size and complexity. For faster turnaround, we use polyaspartic topcoats which can cure in as little as 24 hours—meaning less downtime and disruption for tenants or staff.
Can epoxy be applied over old or damaged concrete?
Absolutely. In fact, epoxy is a great solution for reviving old concrete. We do proper surface prep—including grinding and crack repair—to make sure the coating bonds well and performs long term.
What areas of a commercial property benefit most from epoxy coatings?
Some of the most common spaces we coat for property managers include:
- Underground parkades and storage areas
- Main lobbies and entryways
- Janitorial and maintenance rooms
- Mechanical or service corridors
- Garbage/recycling areas
