Epoxy Flooring in New Westminster — Specialists in Old and New Concrete

New Westminster holds the distinction of being the oldest incorporated city in western Canada, and that history shows in its building stock. The city’s downtown core, Sapperton neighbourhood, and Queensborough industrial district contain some of the Lower Mainland’s oldest concrete — dating back in some cases to the 1940s and 1950s. Working on floors this old requires a fundamentally different approach than working on new construction, and it’s where our experience pays dividends for New Westminster clients.

At the same time, New Westminster has seen significant new strata development around Columbia SkyTrain Station, Braid Station, and along the riverfront. These new buildings present their own flooring demands: freshly poured parkade slabs, new commercial podium floors, and strata amenity spaces that need durable, attractive coatings. Miyagi Construction has worked across both ends of this spectrum in New Westminster — heritage industrial floors in Queensborough and brand-new strata parkades in the Columbia Station corridor.

New Westminster’s Unique Flooring Challenges

New Westminster’s age is its defining flooring challenge. Concrete from the 1940s through 1970s has undergone decades of carbonation — a chemical process that weakens the surface layer and dramatically reduces coating adhesion. If this carbonated layer isn’t removed by diamond grinding or shot blasting, new coatings will fail at the surface bond regardless of the quality of material applied. We treat every New Westminster heritage building as requiring intensive prep until slab testing confirms otherwise.

Queensborough presents specific challenges due to its location on Lulu Island, which shares Richmond’s delta geography and high water table. Moisture vapour transmission is a significant risk for Queensborough industrial floors, and we perform calcium chloride or RH probe testing on all Queensborough jobs before specifying a coating system.

New Westminster’s SkyTrain-adjacent strata development has also created demand for parkade coatings that meet specific strata bylaw requirements — many newer New Westminster strata corporations require slip-resistant surfaces, specific colour coding, and line marking that complies with the City of New Westminster’s parking standards.
