Pavement Solutions - Pavement Markings

In addition to striping, pavement markings ensure a safe and easily understood method of navigating through your parking areas. Clearly marked stalls, handicap spaces, and directional arrows are a critical element in maximizing parking lot space and smoothing the flow of lot traffic. Ensuring that the striping is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act also lowers owner liability.

At Pavement Solutions we begin by making sure that the surface on which the markings will be placed is free of moisture, dust and debris. The presence of any of these will cause the paint to lose its adhesive properties prematurely and flake. The paint is then applied with particular attention paid to both the thickness of the paint and the width of the stripe so that precise and uniform lines result. Pavement Solutions utilizes airless equipment, providing crisp, clean edges on our lines and reducing waste and pollution from overspray.

Pavement Solutions uses both an oil-based paint application and a water-based paint depending on the season.  The water-based paint dries relatively quickly, usually within 5 to 10 minutes of application, while the oil-based paint takes around 15 to 20 minutes to dry.  We can also add glass beads for reflective purposes if necessary.
