Why Is Parking Lot Striping Important?

Parking lot striping is essential for the safety of both pedestrians and motorists in your parking lot. A clearly denoted crosswalk indicates drivers must be careful to look for pedestrians while pedestrians have a safe space to walk. Parking lot arrows direct traffic flow, allowing all drivers to move in the same direction. These markings reduce the risk of a collision in your parking lot. It also keeps drivers’ nerves at ease when they know how to maneuver around a parking lot, which reduces the likelihood of an accident as well. 

The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) states, by law, a business must designate handicapped spaces to accommodate mobility-impaired patrons with easy access to your building. Once you decide where handicap spaces will be, we can indicate their location and help you remain legally compliant while providing your disabled patrons with convenience. 

By adding parking lanes, we can maximize the amount of parking in your lot. You, then, won’t have people taking up multiple parking spots. 

Our parking lot striping service also improves the appearance of your parking lot. Freshly painted lines against the blacktop stand out, and keeping up the parking lot shows the business owner cares. 

How Long Does the Parking Lot Paint Take to Dry?

There isn’t a straightforward answer to this because numerous factors influence drying time. For instance, the weather plays a role. Many paints have a minimum drying temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit, while some have a minimum temperature requirement of 45 degrees. The temperature, in general, plays a major role in how quickly the paint dries. Higher temperatures speed the drying process, while it takes longer in lower temperatures. 

The humidity affects the drying time as well. We recommend the humidity be less than 80% because higher moisture levels in the air can slow the drying time. The paint dries faster if there’s a light wind than on a day without wind. The weather affects water-based paints more so than oil-based ones. 

Even your pavement’s age impacts drying. Newer pavement or concrete will absorb more and may require a second coat.  

When Is the Best Time to Stripe a Parking Lot?

We recommend our customers choose mid-spring or summer, when temperatures are above 45 or 50 degrees, for optimal results.

How Often Should I Restripe My Parking Lot?

Generally, we suggest you restripe your parking every 18 to 24 months. However, some people owners may need their parking lot striped more often. For example, if you have a plow remove snow on your property, the equipment may scrape some of the lines, causing you to need to stripe your parking lot more frequently. 

How Long Does It Take to Restripe a Parking Lot?

In some cases, the process takes only a few hours. Typically, though, we complete the project in a day or two. But, if you have many requirements or a large parking lot, it could take longer.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your parking lot and provide you with a quote for the amount of time it’ll take. You can then plan accordingly for your customers.
