Epoxy concrete coatings protect and strengthen floors across North Carolina’s commercial and industrial spaces, from Charlotte manufacturing plants to Raleigh biotech labs.
At Permaco Concrete Coatings, we don’t guess, we test. With over a decade in construction, our team performs on-site scratch and porosity testing before installation to allow for flawless adhesion, smooth finishes, and long-term durability in NC’s variable climate.
What Is Epoxy Concrete Coating and Why It Matters in North Carolina
Epoxy coatings form a smooth, chemical-resistant barrier that transforms raw concrete into a tough, non-porous surface. Across North Carolina’s industrial hubs, including Greensboro, Raleigh, and Fayetteville, these systems protect against abrasion, moisture, and impact.
Why It Matters for Local Industries
North Carolina’s top sectors, textiles, biotech, automotive, furniture, and food processing, depend on clean, compliant flooring that supports heavy traffic and sanitization.
According to the NC Department of Commerce (2024), over 10,000 manufacturing facilities statewide rely on durable concrete finishes to meet safety and hygiene codes.
At Permaco, we treat every epoxy coating like an engineered surface. Testing ensures adhesion above 200 psi (ASTM D7234), preventing delamination and extending floor life up to 20 years depending on use.

Why Choose Permaco Concrete Coatings
Founded by contractors with over a decade of real construction experience, we’ve built our reputation on precision, durability, and transparency.
Grounded in Construction Experience
We started in Cary, serving the Triangle area, and quickly expanded statewide to meet growing demand for epoxy and industrial coatings. Today, we work across Raleigh, Charlotte, Greensboro, Fayetteville, and Wilmington, bringing the same testing-first approach to every floor we touch.
Built on Testing, Proven by Results
Each project begins with scratch and porosity testing, followed by custom blend formulation and controlled curing. Our coatings are engineered to meet real-world performance standards, verified for adhesion strength, slip resistance, and moisture control before handoff.
Local Team. North Carolina Proud.
As a locally owned company, we’re part of the same communities we serve. You’ll find our coatings in RTP labs, I-85 warehouses, High Point manufacturing facilities, and Cary retail spaces, floors that prove precision pays off. We don’t send crews from out of state; every installer is trained, local, and accountable.
Sustainable & Compliant Systems
Permaco coatings meet North Carolina’s low-VOC regulations, LEED v4 environmental criteria, and ASTM D7234 adhesion testing standards, so your facility stays compliant, efficient, and safe.
Our Epoxy Coating Process Across North Carolina
Every floor we coat, whether it’s in Raleigh, Charlotte, or Greensboro, goes through the same proven, testing-first process. We engineer it for each concrete surface, traffic level, and environmental condition.
1. Testing Before Coating
Each project starts with on-site scratch and porosity testing to measure surface density, moisture content, and adhesion potential. North Carolina’s varying humidity, from the Piedmont to the Coastal Plain, makes this step essential for lasting results.
2. Precision Grinding
We mechanically grind every floor to create the proper surface profile (CSP 2–3), ensuring strong epoxy adhesion. The technique and grit selection depend on your concrete’s hardness and age, whether it’s a warehouse in Cary or a manufacturing bay in Charlotte.
3. Custom Epoxy Application
After preparation, our team applies a custom-mixed epoxy resin system, adjusted for temperature, traffic, and substrate conditions. Industrial projects often use high-build systems for forklifts, while retail or lab spaces may use decorative or UV-stable finishes.
4. Controlled Curing
We monitor temperature and humidity throughout curing to achieve full hardness and gloss without bubbling or blush. Curing times average 24–48 hours, depending on environment and system type.
5. Final Inspection & Testing
Before handoff, we perform an adhesion pull test (ASTM D7234) and visual inspection under operational lighting. This verifies bond strength and surface uniformity across the entire floor, no skipped areas, no weak spots.
Epoxy Coating Timelines in North Carolina
Most projects complete in 2–3 days, which includes surface testing, grinding, coating, and curing. We allow full cure before turnover—so your facility reopens with a floor that meets full adhesion strength, not half-dry shortcuts.
Investing in Longevity
According to NACE International (2023), epoxy floors with proper surface prep last up to 35% longer before recoat. In North Carolina’s mixed climate zones—humid coast, temperate Piedmont, dry mountain regions—precision prep and controlled curing make the difference between a 10-year floor and a 20-year investment.
Local Coating Trends & Standards in North Carolina
As North Carolina’s industrial and commercial sectors expand, demand for epoxy coatings has grown right alongside new construction. From Charlotte’s logistics hubs to Raleigh’s biotech labs and Greensboro’s furniture plants, facilities statewide are choosing coatings that meet higher durability and environmental standards.
Industrial Growth Driving Demand
According to the Colliers NC Industrial Report (2024), the state has seen an 18% increase in industrial floor coating demand since 2022. New distribution centers along I-85, I-40, and I-95 corridors require epoxy systems that withstand forklifts, chemicals, and 24/7 operation.
