At Permaco Concrete Coatings, we develop and apply tested, long-lasting concrete coatings for North Carolina facilities and campuses. Our systems are customized for demanding environments such as warehouses, labs, showrooms, and distribution centers, using advanced epoxy, polyaspartic, and urethane formulations.
With 11,496 manufacturing and logistics facilities in the region, we know performance can’t be left to chance. Every project includes on-site scratch and porosity assessments, custom 4×4 ft sample applications, and precision grinding to make sure coatings perform under real-world conditions.
Understanding Commercial & Industrial Concrete Coatings in North Carolina
Commercial and industrial concrete coatings form a dense surface that resists chemicals, abrasion, and heavy machinery, necessary for protecting floors in North Carolina’s diverse industries.
From the Research Triangle and Charlotte’s logistics corridors to Greensboro’s manufacturing plants and Wilmington’s port facilities, these coatings extend the lifespan of concrete, improve safety, and minimize costly downtime.
Across the state, there are sectors like textiles, biotech, automotive, furniture, and food processing. Each relies on durable, non-porous flooring that withstands forklifts, solvents, and constant use without degradation.
At Permaco, coatings are engineered and tested. Every project includes on-site scratch and porosity testing to verify adhesion above ASTM D7234 standards.
According to the National Concrete Polishing, proper surface profiling can increase coating bond strength by at least 50%. That’s why Permaco profiles and tests every surface before applying a single primer, delivering long-term performance you can measure.

About Permaco Concrete Coatings
Founded by tradesmen with 10+ years of hands-on construction experience, Permaco Concrete Coatings brings a builder’s precision to every floor we install. Based in Cary, North Carolina, our team has served businesses and homeowners across Raleigh, Apex, Sanford, and Zebulon, combining craftsmanship with modern coating technology.
Every project starts with scratch and porosity testing, custom 4×4 ft sample panels, and profiling matched to your concrete type. This testing-first approach makes sure coatings meet the exact bond strength and curing performance needed for Raleigh’s commercial, industrial, and lab environments.
Permaco has coated warehouses, food-processing plants, biotech labs, retail showrooms, and manufacturing floors throughout the Research Triangle region. Each coating system is verified for adhesion and chemical resistance before completion, meeting ASTM D7234 standards and exceeding expectations for durability.
We’re proud to operate within the local community, working alongside local contractors, facility managers, and property owners to deliver lasting value.
Why Choose Permaco Concrete Coatings
Engineered for Strength
Each job begins with on-site scratch and porosity testing to match your concrete’s exact profile. Our 2–3 day installation process ensures maximum bond strength and durability under forklifts, chemical exposure, and heavy traffic.
Custom Blends, Real Samples
We don’t rely on color charts. Every client gets a full 4×4 ft sample panel to test texture, gloss, and traction. Coatings are custom-blended for North Carolina’s humidity, concrete density, and industrial use, from cleanrooms to distribution hubs.
Proven Results, Honest Warranties
Our warranties are backed by data and adhesion testing, not guesswork. Each system includes documented performance and transparent coverage terms for lasting value.
Experience That Prevents Failure
With over a decade in construction, our team understands how slab age, curing, and movement impact coatings, allowing us to prevent failures before they happen.
Local and Dependable
Based in Cary, we serve communities across North Carolina directly. Clients trust us for consistent quality, clean worksites, and reliable timelines statewide.
Our Concrete Coating Process in Raleigh, NC
Our process combines field testing, precision grinding, and controlled curing to guarantee coatings that bond stronger, last longer, and perform under real industrial pressure.
1. On-Site Testing Comes First
Every project starts with scratch and porosity testing, right on your concrete. This identifies surface hardness, moisture level, and absorbency before any grinding begins. In North Carolina’s humid climate, this testing prevents adhesion failures that plague fast-turnaround jobs.
2. Precision Grinding
We don’t use “one-grit-fits-all” grinders. Our team adjusts grinding depth and tooling based on your concrete’s PSI and porosity. Whether it’s a textile warehouse off Capital Boulevard or a trucking depot near I-540, profiling is tailored to match industrial loads and coating chemistry.
3. Custom Blend Application
Each floor gets a custom-mixed epoxy or polyaspartic blend formulated to match its tested substrate. This ensures uniform bonding and chemical resistance, ideal for biotech labs near NC-54, auto service centers in Cary, and furniture plants in Wake Forest.
4. Controlled Curing and Inspection
After coating, floors cure for 24–48 hours in a temperature-controlled environment. We measure gloss, hardness, and bond strength before client walkthrough.
Local Coating Trends & Building Standards in North Carolina
As North Carolina’s industrial and commercial sectors expand, from Charlotte’s logistics centers to the Research Triangle’s biotech hubs and the Triad’s manufacturing corridors, flooring performance standards are rising statewide. Facilities now prioritize coatings that deliver compliance, durability, and long-term value under heavy use.
VOC & Compliance Requirements
North Carolina limits coating VOC content to under 250 g/L, consistent with EPA and LEED standards. Permaco’s systems meet or exceed these thresholds, confirming compliance with state environmental and building codes.
Industry-Specific Performance
- Biotech & Pharma: Chemical-resistant floors for sterile environments
- Food Processing & Agriculture: Non-porous, anti-slip coatings that meet USDA and FSIS standards
- Automotive & Aerospace: Abrasion-resistant finishes designed for high-impact zones
- Manufacturing & Warehousing: Heavy-duty coatings that withstand forklifts, solvents, and constant wear
Energy Efficiency & Safety
Across the state, architects and facility managers are specifying high-reflectivity coatings to improve lighting and reduce energy use, while OSHA-aligned systems confirm a minimum 0.5 SCOF slip rating for safer movement in production areas, truck bays, and distribution centers.
Permaco’s tested systems combine compliance, safety, and durability, meeting North Carolina’s growing demand for industrial flooring that performs under pressure.
