Floor Coatings in North Carolina

What does North Carolina weather do to a concrete floor?

North Carolina has hot, humid summers, steady rain, and winter cold snaps with freezing nights. Heat, sun, and moisture affect coatings, and cold affects install timing.

For long-term weather data by city, see NOAA climate normals. Each city page below lists the NOAA station numbers for that city.

Polyaspartic or epoxy in North Carolina?

Many people search for epoxy. Epoxy is a good base coat, but many common epoxies are aromatic, and their makers say they can yellow or chalk in sunlight. See the Euclid Duraltex UV data sheet and the Dulux Luxafloor HSG data sheet.

Polyaspartic is a type of polyurea that holds its color better in sun. It also cures much faster than typical epoxy, so many systems allow vehicle use about a day later. Always follow the exact product sheet. See this polyaspartic vs epoxy summary and our polyaspartic guide.
