Shot blast floor striping uses specialized equipment that propels tightly controlled steel shot at the concrete surface within a fully enclosed system. On impact, the top layer of the concrete is removed in fine particles, exposing a clean, fresh, and textured surface ideal for strong coating adhesion.
The process is highly controlled and incorporates an integrated vacuum system, which captures dust and debris as it is generated—keeping the work area clean and minimizing disruption.
Removing the top layer of concrete through shot blasting, combined with the application of an epoxy resin coating, delivers one of the most cost-effective, high-performance floor striping solutions available.
By investing in advanced floor preparation technology, Mr. Warehouse Services can remove precise amounts of concrete to exact widths. This ensures the blasted area matches the coating application, preventing any exposed or unsealed surfaces.
Precision and control are essential to this process, which is why we continually invest in top-tier equipment, expert training, and skilled professionals to consistently deliver high-quality results.
This level of preparation is designed to prevent material handling equipment from damaging the edges of epoxy striping. Traditional paints and tapes sit on the surface, allowing forklift traffic to strike the edge and ride up over the line. The pressure and shear forces created are too great for surface-applied materials to withstand, which is why they often wear out or fail. By embedding the striping below the surface, forklifts pass over the line smoothly without applying damaging shear force.
Embedded floor striping is the most durable warehouse striping solution available. While it requires more time and a higher upfront investment than other methods, it delivers long-term value. Once installed, it eliminates the need for frequent recoating—whether monthly or annually—resulting in significant savings on maintenance over time.
Because of the initial cost, we recommend this solution for high-traffic areas where durability and performance matter most, providing a cost-effective, long-lasting installation.
We ask all customers to thoroughly clean their warehouse or distribution center floors prior to our arrival for striping installation. Embedded floor striping requires the use of masking tape, so surfaces must be clean and free of dust, debris, and contaminants to ensure proper adhesion.
Mr. Warehouse Services works closely with customers throughout the planning process, recognizing that downtime directly impacts operations. We provide flexible scheduling options that align with your workflow, helping minimize disruptions while ensuring our installation teams complete the project efficiently and on time.
