Our qualified team will offer advice on the most suitable form of warehouse internal line marking for your operation. The majority of projects that we deliver involve some element of floor preparation, and we offer a range of options to suit different surfaces, budgets and operational requirements. Internal line marking regularly forms part of a larger bespoke warehouse project, delivered alongside our bespoke warehouse racking labels, warehouse shelving labels and bespoke warehouse signage.

Types of Warehouse Floor Preparation For Internal Line Marking

The five main types of floor preparation for warehouse internal line marking that we offer are:

Shot Blasted

Preparing the concrete floor prior to applying a paint system is fundamental to the performance and longevity of the floor marking. Vacuum Shot blasting the floor involves using machinery to strip the smooth finish surface of the floor thus revealing a new roughened concrete surface that the paint can be applied, and will adhere to.

Shot blasting offers a relatively quick preparation process, which is appealing to customers who have a busy working operations or a more restrictive budget, making it our most popular floor preparation method.

Diamond Shaved

Diamond-shaved floor preparation is the most durable and hard wearing method that is available on the market. Our specialist machinery shaves the layers of concrete, creating a 1mm-3mm channel using diamond cutting technology. This exposes fresh and untouched concrete and means that the paint can sit on or just below the surface of the floor itself.
Diamond-shaved floor marking outperforms a shot blasted preparation over time as the lines are less vulnerable to damage.

Unprepared

Unprepared line and floor marking is the practice of applying a paint system to a concrete surface without prior preparation to improve adhesion.

The performance of this type of floor marking is limited, though it is still popular nonetheless. As it is less durable, it can be altered or made more hard-wearing once the layout and operational flow of the facility is decided upon. Despite the name ‘unprepared’, we always make sure that the concrete is free from dirt, dust and debris before applying the paint.

Floor Tape

We can apply a number of floor tape options directly to a cleaned floor area. The types of tape include a standard vinyl tape and a more durable plastic option, which has a stronger adhesive quality. Floor Tape offers flexibility, often with a shorter lifespan with a range of colour options.

Paint Systems

With all of the warehouse Internal line marking preparation methods, we select the most appropriate paint system for your facility and warehouse traffic needs. We are not restricted to any one paint manufacturer or type, and this gives us freedom to recommend the most suitable paint for your project. We select the most appropriate paint based on the parameters and demands of the environment in which they are to be installed.
