Factory & Warehouse Floor Marking Contractors Northampton
Factories and warehouses are busy places with lots of site traffic and potential hazards. Without the right line marking in place, negotiating vehicles, forklifts and people can pose major health and safety challenges to your business.
Having clearly marked walkways and shop floors can help alleviate problems, prevent incidents and ensure that everyone is aware of their environment and the potential hazards.

Professional Distribution Centre Floor Marking Experts Northampton
Operating 24 hours a day, distribution centres are busy, fast paced environments with high levels of traffic from HGVs to fork lifts as well as large numbers of pedestrians and robots.
Line marking is vital in a distribution centre, not only for health and safety but to also ensure that everything continues to run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Due to the lack of downtime in a distribution centre, it is vital that any high visibility safety line marking is carried out as quickly and efficiently as possible. This is why Bayline UK use fast drying line marking paints so we can complete the job in the shortest possible time.
Typical line marking installations on distribution centres include:
- Lorry bays with anti-slip dock levellers
- Robotic roadway routes

- Directional arrows
Permanent Factory & Warehouse Floor Line Services Northampton
Permanent lines would involve shot-blasting the floor first where the lines are to go. Shot-blasting is a method of preparation where small steel balls (shot) are propelled at the floor to strip off the top 8 – 12 MLS of concrete, thus giving the floor a clean and roughened surface for the epoxy to bond to securely. The machine has a recycling vacuum system, so there is no dust or mess created.
Additionally, an operator with a wheeled magnet captures any shot that has gone awry.
The blasted areas are sealed first with clear epoxy and then painted with safety yellow urethane. The urethane will permanently bond with the epoxy making it extremely difficult to scrape off, but always remember that it is painted, so if you drag a skid with nails protruding out of it over the floor, you will get scratches. Anything you do that can gouge or scrape the concrete can damage the lines. You can perform spot repairs if need be.
If you need to get your distribution centre’s safety markings installed with minimum disruption contact Bayline UK today on 01604 529534.

Semi-Permanent Factory & Floor Line Company Northampton
Semi-permanent lines would be high-gloss alkyds or epoxy paint. These last a good amount of time, and again it depends entirely upon the lift truck operators as to how long they will last. We guarantee warehouse line markings for up to a year.
You can go one step further and have the lines sealed with a clear urethane to extend their life, which is an inexpensive way to prolong the life by roughly 50%.
Temporary Factory & Warehouse Floor Line Solutions Northampton
Temporary lines would be standard yellow traffic paint. These could last a reasonable amount of time, depending upon how much the lift truck operators drive over or drag & drop product on them. To get the greatest cost savings, the edges are not taped, and the lines are simply sprayed onto the floor.
The downside of a non-taped line is that there are no crisp edges on the line, and a long line, say over 75 feet, will have some unevenness to it since it is impossible for someone to make it 100% straight by eye.
