Safety Aisle Striping
At Lakeside Painting, one of the many operations we specialize in is safety aisle striping. Safety aisle stripes are often applied as hash marks or chevrons in high traffic areas where fork truck and pedestrian traffic converge. They are essential for creating safely-controlled areas. Some companies also have commercial painters apply stop signs and traffic signs to the floor in an effort to keep their employees safe. Stripes are also utilized to designate areas where material or finished products are to be stored. Using multiple colors and lettering can be helpful in such areas.
Our Line Striping Process
A variety of markings may be needed, so your professional painting contractor will offer many different types, styles and colors from which to choose. The lines can be sprayed on using our Airless Laser Striper, which is the most popular and cost-effective method of application. The Laser Striper is specifically designed to apply stripes whether in parking lots or warehouse aisles. This type of line tends to have what we call a “slight, fuzzy edge.” The stripe can also change width dimensions slightly due to the equipment’s sensitivity to bumps or potholes in the floor. Some of our customers insist on clean, crisp and sharp-edged lines. In this case, we establish the lines with masking tape and hand apply the coating where necessary.
