After we stripe your parking lot, it will look sharp. You can maintain that sleek appearance with regular lot maintenance. Sweeping and power washing the surface will remove dirt and contaminates that cause fading, dull the luster, and abrade the striping.

One of the major benefits of asphalt pavement is that it is an extremely versatile material, able to handle practically any load, from passenger cars to heavy trucks. Surfaces can even be customized depending on climate and specific needs.

When it comes to asphalt roadways, a seal coat involves the application of an asphalt emulsion that’s followed immediately with an aggregate cover. This is one of the best ways to prolong pavement life and protect the roadway surface.

Asphalt cement, one of the oldest engineering materials, has numerous applications due to its adhesive and waterproof properties. In North America, it is primarily used for paving road surfaces.

Highways are not the only locations where asphalt contributes to noise reduction. Asphalt runways also experience similar reductions when compared to concrete especially important for urban airports.

In addition to keeping parking spaces properly marked, maintaining the stripes for fire lanes and emergency vehicles is not only needed, it is required. Failing to do so causes confusion and you may have customers inadvertently interfering with emergency services.

We will stripe off all the required emergency zones in your parking lot. We offer red and yellow striping services for indicating restricted or limited access zones for the safety and protection of your employees as well as the public.

So what are the traffic levels/categories when it comes to commercial parking lots? Light traffic is limited to passenger cars, whereas moderate traffic is passenger cars and light trucks. Heavy traffic indicates the presence of heavy industrial vehicles.

In the US, road pavement painting criteria are controlled by the US Department of Transportation and defined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The manual details the colors, placement and symbols used on public thoroughfares.

When it comes down to it, you want your commercial parking lot to look well kept and professional. Remember, the parking lot is often the first and last part of a building complex to be viewed by customers and visitors, and thus is an important place to make a first impression.
