Line Marking

Line marking, otherwise referred to as demarcation, is the process of painting lines on flooring to alert of potential hazards or boundaries. We provide markings for a range of applications including pedestrian walkways, grids, forklift traffic lanes and directional signs and safety symbols.

Internal VS External Line Marking

There are many business needs that can benefit from line marking. In many industries, such as construction, industrial, warehouse, food preparation areas, there is a case for ensuring that demarcation lines are there to ensure safety.

Internal line marking

Our fast-drying safety lines system is unique in the UK, giving you demarcation lines that are cured in just two hours. This is a huge improvement on traditional options that take between 18 and 24 hours to cure, or are quick-cure and release fumes that taint food, making them impractical when you can’t afford more than a short downtime or are working in a food factory or catering environment.

In addition, our product cures down to zero degrees, making it especially useful for chillier rooms and cold storage areas. We also have a UV Light curing line marking system that enables the surface to be walked on immediately.

External line marking

We install external lines on tarmac and concrete with either Thermo-Plastic or Resin MMA. We prepare the surface with either a water ‘Hydro-Blast machine’, a mechanical abrading machine or by burning off the remains of the previous lines. Once applied the surface can be trafficked within 20 minutes keeping the down-time to a minimum.

We apply the resin by roller or brush within either a stencil or between two lines of masking tape; alternatively we paint the symbol using the stencil then overcoat with clear resin.

We have a range of standard symbols available and can make bespoke stencils to cover whatever you need.

Hot Melt Lines

Our hot melt line system provides line markings that set almost instantly to minimise any interruption to vehicle movement.

We mark parking bays, walkways, lines, directional instructions – anything else that needs marking. Yellow, red and white are the most popular colours, but you can choose whatever colour best suits your purpose.

How it’s done

First, we burn off or blacken any old lines. Then, we apply a special primer to enhance durability and make sure the hot melt lines stick to the concrete.

Once that’s down, we apply the hot melt using hand operated equipment. We have a wide range of stencils and can get bespoke ones made for any new requirements. Our experienced line markers can lay up to 3,000m in a day, weather permitting.

Case Study

Boohoo Warehouse Line Marking

What they needed Boohoo is a major provider of ‘fast fashion’ who specialise in low cost clothing that is sent out quickly after online purchases. In a large distribution centre in Burnley 2500 operatives work 24/7 to get up to 350,000 items sent out daily. They needed safety walkways installing in case of a fire to help people evacuate the building. However, due to the fast turn arounds that the company works to, only small areas could be cordoned off at any one time. To make matters more difficult there was no power available for the preparation equipment and trailing power leads...

Epoxy Resin Warehouse Floor

What they needed A busy warehouse and distribution centre in the Midlands needed to resurface their 2,000m2 premises. It was important for the client to keep business as usual as much as possible, while also clearly installing safety protocols to keep pedestrians away from fork lift truck traffic. What we did Thorough preparation is essential for a smooth and durable floor finish. First the floor was vacuum shot blasted to get the old worn paint off, using a dust-free blast machine. This is a fantastic method for speeding up the installation process, as a large-scale clean-up is not necessary; due to this...

Kwik Fit Refurbishment Case Study

What they needed Kwik Fit is one of the largest garage companies in the UK. They have a large number of branches throughout the country. Kwik Fit has been acquired by a large Chinese conglomerate, who are seeking to refurbish and update the appearance of branches. Completing this refurbishment needed a new flooring system to match the upgraded and up to date image that the new owners wanted to put across. The difficulty came in the scheduling – all branches needed to be open between 8am and 6pm every day. What we did We needed to be able to re-floor...

Iceland Case Study

What they needed DHL/Iceland needed demarcation lines on the floor for walkways and pallet locations but the areas were in almost constant use and the temperature was 2 degrees. All the usual types of epoxy resin and polyurethane resin line marking systems took between 18 and 24 hours to cure. The client simply couldn’t do without the floor area for that amount of time and the only resin that had worked in the time was a Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) which caused fumes that would taint the food stored there so that was a ‘no-go’. What we did Maintenance Supplies Contracts...

UV Lines Case Study

What they needed In almost every industrial environment there’s a need for demarcation lines to keep pedestrians and fork lift trucks apart. But sometimes a new floor can not be used for days after to allow standard resins and paints to cure and dry. Floor areas cannot be out of use for long periods of time. You cannot have cable plugged into power points and trailing across live floor isles. There can be no unpleasant smells from different types of resin and paint. Lines are often required in low temperature cold stores where normal line marking products don’t cure. What...
