Polyaspartic Coatings
in Chase, BC
Fast-cure, UV-stable, and engineered for BC Interior climate extremes.
Polyaspartic coatings are a class of aliphatic polyurea compounds that cure significantly faster than traditional epoxy — 2–4 hours at 15°C versus the 12–24 hours of standard epoxy systems — while offering superior UV stability and cold-temperature flexibility. They're our default topcoat choice on all residential garage floors and are increasingly used as complete single-coat or dual-coat systems on commercial floors where rapid return to service is required. UV-stable means they stay clear and colour-fast under direct sunlight without chalking or yellowing — critical in Kamloops's high-UV interior climate.
Polyaspartic Coatings in Chase: what you need to know
Fast-cure polyaspartic means Chase homeowners get back into their garages faster — often the next morning after a one-day install. The UV stability is a bonus for lakeside properties with south-facing garage exposures.
Properties and context in Chase
Chase property stock is dominated by older 1960s–1980s homes with aging single-car garage slabs, plus a significant number of vacation properties and lakeside cabins around Little Shuswap Lake that often have neglected or uncoated concrete. Some newer retirement housing and a modest commercial strip round out the mix.
Chase is a small lakeside town that values community, outdoor recreation, and a slower pace of life. Many residents are retirees, some are seasonal vacation home owners, and a core of families have deep roots going back multiple generations. They want trades they can trust.
Concrete conditions in Chase
Chase sits beside Little Shuswap Lake and the South Thompson River — ambient humidity is measurably higher than on the Kamloops benchlands. Every job in Chase gets a moisture vapor test before we specify a system. Older homes near the river can have basement slabs with significant moisture vapor emission that requires moisture-mitigating primer before any topcoat. Skipping this step in Chase leads to delamination.
Climate and floor performance in Chase
Chase sees mild lakeside climate with higher ambient humidity than Kamloops, cold winters, moderate summers with lake effect. We spec epoxy and polyaspartic systems for this area with the local conditions in mind — UV stability, thermal flexibility, and moisture management are all part of our system selection process, not afterthoughts. A coating system that performs well in a temperate climate and a properly spec'd system for the BC Interior are not the same product, even if they look similar on the day of install.

How a Polyaspartic Coatings install works in Chase
Application temperature check
Polyaspartic coatings are temperature-sensitive — application works between 5°C and 35°C, and cure rate changes significantly with temperature. We schedule installs for appropriate conditions and heat the space if necessary in cold weather.
Surface prep
Same diamond-grinding prep as epoxy — CSP 3–4 for most residential and commercial applications. Moisture testing, crack repair, and slab prep are identical to an epoxy system.
Coating application
Polyaspartic coatings have a shorter working time than epoxy — application requires speed and skill. We don't let new applicators run polyaspartic systems on client floors.
Fast cure and return to service
Light traffic in 2–4 hours. Vehicles in 12–24 hours. Full chemical resistance at 72 hours. The fast cure is particularly valuable for commercial installs where downtime is expensive.
