Unprepared floor striping is a term given to epoxy paint which is applied to the floor without any concrete preparation taking place. Very often customers are restricted and not able to prepare the concrete floor, so ASG Services have developed methods and preparation techniques which do not affect the floor surface.
Warehouse floors should be cleaned thoroughly and free from dirt, dust and residue before anything is applied. ASG Services inspect each floor before installation and if needed will recommend further cleaning. If our installation teams feel they are able to address any concerns whilst on site, they would sweep areas or use a thinners based solvent.
Once the area is prepared, the installation teams will use either a controlled spray application method or roller to apply paint directly to the concrete surface. Our teams often use a combination of marking methods to achieve highly accurate markings which are always based on customer specifications.
Durability of the epoxy paint method is good. Although our preparation techniques for this method are thorough, they are not comparable to shot blasted or embedded floor marking.
Painted floor marking can be expected to last longer than floor tapes, including the durable floor tape range available on our online store. Paint adheres to concrete as well if not better than adhesives, but is not as thick so is less susceptible to damage by impact.
Customers are expected to carry out the main cleaning process prior to ASG Services arrival to install the epoxy floor striping. However, ASG Services are experienced in the use of floor cleaners and often perform this task as an additional service. Customers are asked to discuss this with their technical sales associate during consultations.
Our project management teams work closely with customers to understand their operational and space requirements during the installation. We understand it is essential for ASG Services to progress swiftly, while not disrupting the customer’s operation. The project teams also ensure where progress surpasses expectations, the customer is informed to make early decisions.
All projects are planned with site drawings and depictions of floor marking layouts, giving customers a preview of the markings to come.
ASG Services employs fully trained and insured installation teams who carryout warehouse epoxy floor marking installations on a daily basis. Their attention to detail, knowledge of materials and equipment is second to none, not to mention their appreciation for the customer’s needs.
The simple and short answer is durability. The more durable the line striping is, the less it will need to be reworked, so spending more now means saving even more later.
Combining your storage markings with passageways or safety markings can help save money. This comes from shared demarcation boundaries and downtime during installations.
For the most accurate price and planning, it is best to give us as much as possible, but it’s not essential, we can visit site and create a basic depiction for you for a fee. Having a drawing helps you visualize and us to plan and quote.
OSHA recommends the following:
● Yellow. – Yellow shall be the basic color for designating caution and for marking physical hazards such as: Striking against, stumbling, falling, tripping, and “caught in between.”
● “DANGER” – Red, or predominantly red, with lettering or symbols in a contrasting color.
● “CAUTION” – Yellow, or predominantly yellow, with lettering or symbols in a contrasting color.
● “WARNING” – Orange, or predominantly orange, with lettering or symbols in a contrasting color.
● “BIOLOGICAL HAZARD” – Fluorescent orange or orange-red, or predominantly so, with lettering or symbols in a contrasting color.
Most work carried out by ASG Services is done with yellow and/or white. Occasionally we will be asked to use red, green, blue and grey. If in doubt ask what we can provide, almost any color is available.
