National coverage with certified teams of specialists.
Traffic Routes, Trailer Bays, Storage Lanes, Stenciling and Pedestrian Walkways.
External line marking that improves efficiency and safety with durable materials and application methods for the warehousing and distribution industry.
What ‘External’ line marking is.
Our solutions are in line with those used on UK highways. Durable, effective and follow those standard designs that make communication and guidance easy in busy warehouse yard spaces.
Preparation
Limited work is required for external line marking. However, our teams ensure all surfaces are in optimum condition before applying the paint systems.
Concrete surfaces are treated with a primer material, so paint adheres and lasts under heavy use, while all tarmacadam and asphalt surfaces are cleared and forced dried if needed.
Paint Systems
Our teams use a selection of materials, the most common being thermoplastic and epoxy. Each brings unique benefits and works with most surfaces.
Dry and cure times are extremely quick compared to internal paints, minimising downtime and keeping your facility moving.
The Importance of Line Marking
Safety is a high priority for any facility and external warehouse line marking provides a method of traffic control in the workplace, as road marking does on highways.
Storage organisation and workflow efficiency is the financial reason for a warehouse to implement a floor marking system. Optimising their storage areas, trailer bay holding and instilling route management to maximise return on investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about Fortega, the products we make, the services we provide and how we bring it all together for our customers.
How Can I Look After the Lines Once I Have Them?
Keeping the area clean and clear of debris is the easiest thing any facility can work on. However, we strongly recommend customers add to their training program. They should encourage clear lifting of pallets when maneuvering them, turning before or after the line, so they do not twist the paint surface, keeping areas clean and clear of debris and dirt, and removing damaged pallets, so they do not damage the floor markings.
How Long Will it Take to Install?
Our project teams create daily schedules of work, which allow us to forecast the work time needed to complete the entire line marking installation. Providing an exact figure for your project is only possible once we have all the details, but we are happy to do this as part of the quotation process.
What Colour Paints do You Have?
Most colours are available as you would expect, however industrial floor coating paints are not decorative, so the range is limited compared to the type you may see in your local domestic paint store.
Why Should I Consider the More Expensive Option?
Durability. The more concrete preparation that is done, and the higher the grade of paint system used result in a more durable solution.
This is not always relevant to your facility. High durability means it is far more difficult to remove or reconfigure, and you may not want this, therefore the cheaper option may be the perfect fit for you.
