Seams where bacteria collect
Radius transitions and a continuous coating remove many of the joints and crevices where bacteria can grow.
Flooring & Coating Systems
Seamless Wall and Ceiling Coating Systems
Pacific Coast Contracting installs wall-to-wall and wall-to-ceiling coating systems that create a seamless, floor-to-ceiling work environment for clean rooms, laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturing and food processing areas.
What seamless wall and ceiling systems do
Seamless wall and ceiling coatings create a smooth, monolithic surface across walls and ceilings. Combined with a seamless floor, GMP details and radius transitions help eliminate the cracks and crevices where floors, walls and ceilings meet, which are the places bacteria and dirt tend to collect.
The finished surface is easy to clean and maintain and is highly resistant to cleaning chemicals, impact and abrasion, depending on the system selected.
Where these systems are used
PCC installs seamless wall and ceiling coatings in clean rooms, laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing areas and healthcare facilities, as well as other rooms that are washed down or disinfected often.
Facility Problems
Problems Seamless Wall & Ceiling Coatings Can Help Address
Results depend on the system selected, surface preparation, exposure and maintenance.
Frequent cleaning and disinfection
A smooth, monolithic surface is easy to wipe down and stands up to repeated cleaning.
Impact and abrasion from carts and equipment
Seamless wall systems are highly resistant to impact and abrasion compared with painted surfaces, depending on the system.
Selection considerations
- Substrate. Drywall, block, concrete and panels each need different preparation and primers.
- Penetrations and transitions. Doors, windows, pipes and fixtures need detailing so the surface stays continuous.
- Cleaning program. The disinfectants, concentrations and frequency used should guide the system selection.
- Room classification. Coatings support a clean environment, but whether a room meets a specific cleanroom classification or regulatory requirement depends on the room's design, construction, air handling and operation, not the coating alone.
- Coordination. Wall and ceiling work is usually sequenced with the floor system and other trades.
How PCC approaches seamless walls & ceilings projects
Pacific Coast Contracting provides turn-key service for seamless walls & ceilings projects, starting with a review of how the area is used and the condition of the existing surface, then recommending a system and scope.
PCC's turn-key process: consultation and site assessment, testing, project management, tear-out and disposal, surface preparation and installation, followed by final clean-up under PCC's 0 Punch List Program. About PCC.

Common Questions
Seamless Walls & Ceilings FAQ
What are GMP details and radius transitions?
In flooring and coatings, GMP details and radius transitions refer to curved, sealed transitions where floors meet walls and walls meet ceilings, instead of sharp corners and open joints. Rounded, continuous transitions are easier to clean and leave fewer places for dirt and bacteria. Pacific Coast Contracting builds these details into its seamless wall and ceiling systems.
Can seamless wall coatings be applied over drywall?
Seamless coating systems can be applied to several substrates, including drywall, concrete block and concrete, but each needs the right preparation and primer, and damaged or moisture-affected surfaces have to be repaired first. Pacific Coast Contracting evaluates the existing walls before recommending a system.
Do seamless wall coatings make a room a certified clean room?
No coating on its own certifies a room. Seamless wall and ceiling systems create surfaces that are easy to clean and support clean environments, but cleanroom classifications and regulatory requirements depend on the whole room, including design, air handling and operating procedures. Pacific Coast Contracting can work to the coating requirements in your specification.
