The Striping Process

Preparation - Accurate Striping Inc. will prepare the lot for striping by using chalk lines and markers to predetermine the correct placement of parking stalls, arrows, handicaps, etc. This is the most important part of the striping phase, and Accurate Striping Inc. takes great pride in ensuring that all measurements are correct. This allows the end of each stall to line up exactly and creates uniformity among stall sizes. After completion of all striping, any materials and debris will be removed from the job site.

Application of Paint - The paint will be applied using a walk-behind mechanical striping machine. Accurate Striping Inc. uses a quick dry paint that dries within 3 to 4 minutes. The application coverage will be 15 miles. When wet and 6 mil. When dry. This paint is also used by Oregon and Washington's highway departments. It is the best paint in the industry.

Cleaning - Accurate Striping Inc. offers a full range of cleaning services for your pavement surfaces. We can pressure wash sidewalks, ballast, curbs, or anything else you may need cleaning. We can clean small areas with power blowers and hand tools, or larger areas with riding sweeping machines. In many situations, these two types of cleaning are used together to provide the greatest results.

Benefits of Striping

Refreshes Pavement - Accurate Striping Inc. only uses the highest quality highway traffic paint to ensure the brightest possible lines.
Controls Traffic - To avoid congestion within a parking lot, it may be necessary to divert traffic in a certain direction. Directional arrows and stop bars can assist you in influencing traffic patterns.
Signage - All parking lots and roadways need signage. Accurate Striping Inc. offers a full range of signs to meet any need. From a simple "STOP" sign to custom-made signs, we can fulfill any need you may have. We can simply sell you the sign or install it as well. We will install signage on building walls, on U-channel posts, or within ballasts.
Wheel Stops - Accurate Striping Inc. can install wheel stops in any parking lot. If a property manager or business owner is having a problem with frequent "fender-benders" or needs to prevent cars from parking too close to sidewalks and walkways, the installation of concrete wheel stops may be the answer.
Speed Bumps - Speed bumps are an easy way to control speed within a parking lot and are offered in many shapes and sizes. Accurate Striping Inc. can evaluate your needs and determine the best type of speed bumps to fit your situation.

Fulfills All Laws - By law, parking lots must have some required markings, including fire lane and ADA compliance. Fire lanes are usually set by the local fire Marshal. The industry standard is a red curb with a 4" inch of "NO PARKING FIRE LANE" in white on the curb face. These fire lane specifications vary from region to, but ADA compliance is clear. The number of parking spaces on the lot dictates how many handicap stalls you must have. The law is also clear about how the spaces are to be laid out.
Enhances Safety of the Parking Lot - The more clearly marked a parking lot is, the safer it becomes. Bright yellow speed bumps notify drivers that they must slow down. Clearly defined crosswalks give pedestrians a safe passage across busy lanes of traffic. Loading zone signs notify drivers and pedestrians of constant stop-and-go traffic. Bright white "Stop Bars" gives a defined place for vehicles to stop. A freshly painted parking lot is a safer place.
Grinding Down Sidewalks - Part of every asphalt parking lot is adjacent to curbs and sidewalks, which can be damaged by traffic, weather, and trees. Our concrete services will make sure that your sidewalks and curbs provide safe passage for both cars and pedestrians.

Some Important Tips

When laying out parking stalls, use at least nine (9) feet wide stalls if possible. Narrower stalls can result in nicked car doors. Laying out a parking lot properly should result in a good flowing traffic pattern and more parking places. Some parking lots are sealed so that the traffic pattern can be changed. If there are bad oil spots on the lot, there may be adhesion problems with the new markings where they cross oil spots unless the pavement in these areas is patched.

Apply marking paint in dry weather when pavement and atmospheric temperatures are fifty (50) degrees F. or above (or mfg. Specification) and are anticipated to remain above fifty (50) degrees F. Thoroughly clean surfaces are free of dirt, sand, gravel, oil, and other foreign matter.
