What ‘Shot Blasted’ Floor Marking Is.
Preparation
Shot blasting concrete is process of changing the surface, from a smooth glass-like finish to a rough profile. This not only creates a clean surface, it also increases the surface area and allows the paint to ingress and key more securely with the concrete. Our specialist equipment is adaptable to create specific widths of blast which eliminates open and exposed concrete.
Paint Systems
We select from options in the epoxy resin, polyurethane and methyl methacrylate families of paint. Each has a benefit for the area in which it will be used. Some are cheaper and good for low traffic areas, others more durable for higher traffic and some with a fast cure time. All are at the mercy of the impact they receive.
Cost Implications
The processes involved before paint application add to the time needed to complete the project, and need more hands with the increased equipment, so the cost of shot blasted floor marking is higher than others, but the level of durability is far beyond them too. It is a safe investment.
The Importance of Durable Line Marking.
Safety is a high priority for any facility and 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 floor marking. Optimising their floor storage areas and instilling route management maximises return on their investment.
Shot blasted floor marking helps protect that investment.
Installation Project Stages.
The steps we take in approaching, integrating with, and performing our project services gives our customers the reassurance needed, and are the envy of our competitors.
Initial Consultations – We discuss your floor marking requirements to understand the level of durability required, budgetary constraints and site access, as well as layouts.
Site Visit – We will always visit your facility to help with pricing, product selection, access evaluations, surface conditions, and to discuss options more thoroughly.
Plans & Scheduling – Our daily progress planning in critical and market leading in helping customers work around us, while helping us reduce impact on your operation.
Mobilisation and Management – Professional and managed installations are a priority for safety, accuracy and performance of concrete preparation and paint systems.
Concrete Preparation.
Removing the visible surface of a concrete floor requires specialist equipment, to create precisely marked storage lanes in warehouses.
Once removed, the prepared floor presents a rough surface which the paint keys for heightened durability.
Completion and Aftercare.
The envy of our competitors.
A finished installation is not where our projects stop. We look to re-visit site two months after completion, to meet you or the users, inspect the work and product performance. It is peace of mind for you and allows us to work on future improvements.

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 floor 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.
