Lines on roads serve a very important role in safe guarding lives on our streets. So, to have well-marked pavement is very important. Once it is marked, regular maintenance should be done to ensure safe and secure traffic. Line grinding is a technique used to remove the already existing lines from the pavement, making way for new paint.

STRIPES has been offering line removal since 1998 and we are using latest technology to ensure effective removal in short time, as working on roads is a job that must be completed quickly. Many jobs involve removing existing lines on asphalt or cement before new paint can be laid down.

A concrete or asphalt scarifier is a machine that planes or grinds cement or asphalt much like a wood planer or sander would do with wood. To scarify means to make shallow cuts or scratches. When a road is being resurfaced and remarked, an asphalt scarifying machine is used to remove the top layer of paint material from the road and leave a rough surface for the new asphalt to bond to. After removing the existing layer a new layer is laid and fresh markings are done.

STRIPES has been providing road striping removal in and around the regions of Ontario since 1988. We leave no traces of existing paint and the final product is a new, fresh-looking pavement surface. Our services have always been unique and we continue it, using the latest technologies and skilled technicians.

Line markings are essential in controlling and guiding traffic. They act as life savers on urban roads and intersections and ensure road safety. It is important to have a smooth and consistent flow of traffic along our roads.

Road surface markings are, in fact, devices used to convey official information. They are used on paved roadways to provide guidance and information to drivers and pedestrians. Uniformity and standardization of the markings is an important factor in minimizing confusion and maximizing road safety. Road markings play a key role in reducing accidentsand managing traffic.

For ensuring a safe traffic, road markings should conform to certain standards and provide the following:

Day visibility : All pavement markings must have maximum daylight visibility. Whiteness is adjusted while painting. STRIPES is conscious of this and we make sure that our markings are laid down with top-quality paint and precision.

Night visibility: Our paint yields high visibility in low-light environments, maximizing safety for all vehicles.

Wet night visibility: This is an important consideration, as fog and rain can disturb the reflectivity. Our experts at STRIPES are conscious of this and know which materials work best in these situations.

In order to achieve improved night visibility, tiny glass beads are incorporated into the markings to produce a reflective surface.

Due to lack of standardised, proper road markings, there are frequent problems in safe and smooth movement of traffic. It is of utmost importance to regularly maintain your pavement.

A clean, well maintained and well marked parking lot is essential to any business organization, be it a shopping mall or a company. The absence of parking lot painting can result in vehicular accidents, further leading to general chaos and disorder in the work area. A parking lot without any painted lines on its surface to direct the vehicle owners is really dangerous. Therefore, it’s very important that any parking surface that can accommodate more than two vehicles must have a clear, designated pattern of parking spaces. The creation of a parking lot line requires some physical work, but more so to clear out the surface of the area rather than the actual painting of lines.

Parking lot painting is really a strenuous job even if done with the stencils and machines. Before any paint is laid, proper planning must be done in order to ensure an effective and neat layout. The available area must be properly marked in order to park maximum number of vehicles to maintain cost effectiveness. If the parking lot is not well organized and if any facilities are not available like handicapped parking, you may lose viable clients or customers to your business. As customers always look for ease of movement, a place they can easily enter, park and exit quickly and safely. With properly placed parking stalls that look attractive, arrows and handicapped reserve signs, STRIPES will ensure that your business offers the most to it’s clients while visiting you.

Why is parking lot configuration so complicated? The main goal of having a well planned layout is to maximize the lot’s usability. Most drivers have identified angled stalls as the easiest to turn into and back out of, but the may not serve to maximize space. The 90° straight in design provides maximum number of stalls but 45°, 60° or 75° angled stalls are also very popular.

Before starting the painting process, the area should be properly cleaned. STRIPES uses motorized blowers, and in some cases, power sweepers to clear out any obstacles on the surface that would get in the way during the painting process.
