Line Striping & Traffic Marking Contractor
Floor markings are not a finishing touch - they are a safety and compliance requirement in any facility where vehicles and pedestrians share the same floor. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22 requires permanent aisles and passageways to be appropriately marked. DTI installs interior and exterior line striping and traffic marking systems for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, parking structures, and commercial properties nationwide.

Line Striping & Traffic Marking
Floor Marking Systems Built for Demanding Facilities
Correct line striping defines traffic flow, separates pedestrian walkways from vehicle lanes, identifies hazardous zones, and prevents incidents that cost far more than the marking itself. DTI specifies the layout, color code, and marking material around how your facility actually operates.
Engineered Marking Systems
High-Visibility Line Striping & Traffic Marking Systems
Interior aisles, exterior lots, and safety zones each demand a different marking material and layout discipline. DTI specifies each system around traffic class, cleaning protocol, and compliance requirements.

Project Experience
Completed Line Striping & Floor Marking Projects
Real project applications demonstrate how marking layouts and materials are selected around traffic, cleaning protocols, and operating schedules.
Crush Fitness
Fitness facilities require floor markings that define activity zones, traffic flow, and safety boundaries - installed on a surface that sees constant foot traffic and regular cleaning with commercial-grade products. DTI marked zone boundaries and safety lines across the facility floor using a durable paint system compatible with the existing concrete surface.
CruFit
Zone marking and traffic flow delineation for a fitness and community facility. DTI coordinated installation to minimize disruption to the facility's operating schedule.

Layout & Installation Process
Our Line Striping & Traffic Marking Process
How is facility line striping installed? Marking starts with a traffic study and an approved layout, not a paint gun. DTI walks the facility, documents traffic patterns and compliance gaps, chalks and verifies the layout with your safety team, prepares the surface so the marking bonds, then installs the lines, symbols, and stencils in the specified color code and material.
Methodology
Our 5-Step Floor Marking Protocol
Every line is laid out to an approved plan, installed to consistent widths, and verified before the area returns to service.
Traffic & Compliance Assessment
We walk the facility with your safety team, document forklift and pedestrian routes, racking positions, egress paths, and fire equipment, and identify where existing markings fail OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22 or ADA requirements.
Layout & Color Code Approval
A marked-up floor plan defines line widths, aisle clearances, zone boundaries, stenciling, and the color legend. The layout is chalked on the floor and approved before any material is installed.
Surface Preparation
Failing or obsolete markings are ground or abraded off, and the striping path is cleaned of dust, oil, and curing compounds so the new marking bonds to the substrate instead of sitting on contamination.
Marking Installation
Lines, symbols, arrows, and stencils are installed with the specified material - epoxy, polyurea/polyaspartic, thermoplastic, or industrial vinyl tape - masked for crisp edges and consistent widths.
Cure, Inspection & Turnover
Markings cure to the specified return-to-service window, then the layout is walked against the approved plan. You receive the final layout documentation for your safety records.
Marked to the standard, not to the eye.
Per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22, permanent aisles and passageways must be appropriately marked and kept clear. Exterior parking and pedestrian markings are installed to the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, and hazard, fire, and egress markings follow NFPA clearances where applicable. Layouts are documented so future restriping matches the approved plan.
Uncompromising Execution
Why Facilities Choose DTI as Their Line Striping & Traffic Marking Contractor
Most floor markings fail early for two reasons: the wrong material for the traffic and cleaning environment, or lines painted straight onto a dirty, unprepared slab. DTI treats striping as a coating installation with a compliance requirement attached.
Layout Approved Before Paint
Traffic patterns, aisle clearances, and the color legend are documented and chalked for approval first. Nothing gets installed until the plan matches how the facility actually operates.
Prepared Substrate, Bonded Markings
Old markings are removed and the striping path is mechanically prepped and cleaned, so lines bond to concrete instead of peeling off under forklift tires and scrubber pads.
Installed Around Your Operations
Night, weekend, and phased zone schedules with fast-cure polyurea systems return aisles to service in hours, so production and shipping keep running while marking is installed.

Scope of Work
Full-Scope Floor Marking Services
Interior striping, exterior lot marking, hazard delineation, 5S layouts, and stenciling - installed by one contractor to one documented plan.
Warehouse and manufacturing floor striping defines pedestrian walkways, forklift lanes, loading zones, staging areas, and restricted access zones. DTI lays out and installs striping to your facility's operational plan - or works with your safety team to develop a layout that meets OSHA requirements and your specific traffic patterns.
Standard OSHA color coding:
Per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22 - permanent aisles and passageways must be appropriately marked.
Parking stall layout, directional arrows, ADA-compliant accessible stall markings (including required signage dimensions), fire lane markings, and crosswalk delineation for commercial and industrial properties. DTI installs exterior markings using traffic-grade paint and thermoplastic systems rated for vehicle traffic and weather exposure.
High-visibility markings for column bases, floor hazards, equipment perimeters, electrical panels, and emergency egress routes. Installed to OSHA and NFPA standards where applicable.
Facilities running 5S or lean manufacturing programs require precise shadow boxing, equipment footprint marking, and zone identification installed to tight tolerances. DTI has experience marking production facilities to 5S layout specifications - straight lines, consistent widths, clean corners.
Aisle numbering, bay identification, directional arrows, equipment labels, and custom stenciling for warehouses and distribution centers. Installed using durable floor paint that holds up under forklift traffic and regular sweeping.
Material Selection
Marking Materials & Durability
Line striping durability depends on the material specified for the environment.
3–5 years (high traffic)
The standard specification for interior industrial and commercial environments. Bonds directly to concrete and epoxy floors, resistant to forklift traffic and cleaning chemicals.
Interior industrial & commercial
Return to service: 1–2 hours
Fast cure, high abrasion resistance, and excellent chemical resistance. Specified for environments with aggressive cleaning protocols or where downtime for curing is a constraint.
High-turnover environments
5–7 years (exterior)
Heat-applied thermoplastic for exterior parking lots and roadways. More durable than painted markings under vehicle traffic. Standard specification for high-volume parking facilities and loading dock approaches.
Parking lots & loading docks
Reconfigurable
For facilities that require temporary or frequently reconfigured markings - tape is faster to install and remove than painted lines. DTI installs industrial-grade vinyl marking tape rated for forklift traffic.
Flexible / temporary layouts
Accessibility Requirements
ADA-Compliant Parking & Pedestrian Markings
Exterior parking and pedestrian markings must meet ADA Standards for Accessible Design - including stall dimensions, access aisle widths, slope requirements, and signage placement. DTI installs ADA-compliant accessible parking markings and can review existing lot layouts for compliance gaps before installation begins.
ADA Requirements Covered
- Accessible stall dimensions and quantities
- Access aisle widths (van-accessible and standard)
- Slope requirements for accessible routes
- Signage placement per ADA Standards for Accessible Design
Line striping is typically the final step after flooring installation or recoating. DTI can coordinate marking installation as part of a larger epoxy flooring or concrete repair and overlay project.
Verified Client Feedback
Trusted by Facility Managers Nationwide
"Our aisle markings were faded to the point that forklift operators were guessing. DTI restriped the entire floor over two weekends and we passed our next safety audit without a single marking finding."
Safety Manager | Distribution Center
"They chalked the whole layout and walked it with us before spraying a single line. The pedestrian walkways finally match how people actually move through the plant."
Operations Manager | Manufacturing Facility
"Parking lot restripe including ADA stalls and fire lanes, done overnight so we never closed. Lines are still crisp two winters later."
Property Manager | Commercial Campus
