Epoxy Flooring
in Merritt
Merritt is the hub of the Nicola Valley, about 90 km south of Kamloops on the Coquihalla. It's a ranching and resource town with a population around 7,200, and the property stock reflects that — a real mix of older downtown heritage homes, mid-century ranchers on large lots, and newer subdivisions built in the last decade. We make regular trips to Merritt and have the experience to handle every slab type you'll find there.
About Merritt
Merritt sits at the confluence of the Nicola and Coldwater rivers, surrounded by open range country and pine-covered hills. It's known as the 'Country Music Capital of Canada' and draws a steady mix of ranchers, resource workers, retirees, and younger families moving in for the relative affordability. The economy runs on ranching, light industry, and proximity to the Coquihalla corridor. All of that means real working spaces — garages and shops that actually get used, not just parked in.

Local tip: Merritt's valley location means cold winters and dry summers — thermal cycling is a real factor for garage slabs. We spec polyaspartic topcoats that hold up to −40°C brittleness point so your floor doesn't crack when the cold snaps.
Home and property types in Merritt
Downtown heritage homes (pre-1960)
Older slab-on-grade construction, often with moisture issues from aging drainage and high water tables near the river. These slabs need moisture testing before any coating — and we do it on every quote.
Mid-century rancher homes (1960s–1980s)
Single-story homes on large lots with attached or detached garages. Slabs are typically 4" unreinforced concrete, often showing surface dusting or minor cracking from age. Great candidates for diamond-ground prep and full-broadcast flake systems.
Newer subdivisions (2000s–present)
Found primarily in the Quilchena Meadows and surrounding areas. Newer slabs, cleaner profiles, often with better initial curing. Well-suited for metallic or premium flake systems.
Acreage and ranch properties
Large rural lots outside town with detached shops, outbuildings, and equipment storage. These often need industrial-grade or heavy-duty agricultural coatings, not residential systems.
Light industrial and commercial
Auto shops, small-scale manufacturing, fleet maintenance, and agricultural supply businesses throughout the Nicola Valley Industrial Park and surrounding areas.
Local context: landmarks and areas
Nicola Lake
One of the larger lakes in the BC Interior, Nicola Lake anchors a lot of the outdoor recreation identity of Merritt. Lakeside properties and cabins in the area often have concrete shops, boat storage, or outdoor slabs that benefit from a durable epoxy coating.
Nicola Valley Industrial Park
Merritt's main industrial concentration, home to trucking companies, equipment dealers, and light manufacturing. We've done commercial and industrial floor installs in the area.
Coquihalla Highway (Hwy 5)
Merritt sits at the junction of Hwy 5 and Hwy 5A — a key point on the Coquihalla corridor between Vancouver and Kamloops. It means the town sees steady commercial traffic, supporting a service-oriented local economy.
Coldwater and Nicola Rivers
The river valley setting creates the climate that defines slab behaviour in Merritt — cold valley floors in winter, hot and dry summers. We account for the thermal range in every system we spec here.
