Built for the SR-167 Corridor: Lanes that Keep Kent Moving

The Kent Valley is a backbone for South Sound logistics—fast turns, high forklift traffic, and tight dock schedules. Our warehouse striping plans emphasize flow clarity (picking lanes, staging zones, one-way routes) and incident reduction in live environments, so crews stay productive without shutdowns.

What We Stripe Indoors in Kent

• Forklift traffic & one-way systems: centerlines, turn pockets, stop bars, right-of-way arrows.
• Staging & picking zones: pallet bays, put-away lanes, QC/Returns, color-coded areas for fast ID.
• Warehouse safety visuals: pedestrian aisles, crosswalks, keep-clear hatching, equipment parking.
• Indoor parking garages: stalls, numbering, EV/ADA spaces, wayfinding and no-parking zones.
• Loading dock guidance: trailer alignment marks, hazard hatching, bollard bases, door IDs.
• Custom stencils & IDs: rack labels, zone lettering, logos, caution messages.

Why Kent Facilities Invest in Better Floor Markings

Faster turns: Clear visual cues reduce aisle conflicts and deadhead time between pick locations.

Fewer incidents: Delineated pedestrian routes + high-contrast stop bars = fewer near-misses.

Audit-ready: ADA access aisles, egress paths, and hazard zones organized for inspections.

Cleaner first impression: Markings that look intentional—especially for tenants, investors, and visits.

Low-Odor, High-Durability Coatings for Interior Concrete

We specify low-VOC, low-odor coatings tuned for forklifts and scrubber cycles, with fast-cure options to reopen aisles quickly. Prep includes degreasing and mechanical abrasion for bond on polished or sealed concrete. Lines are laid with precise measurement and tight stencils for crisp edges and repeatable spacing.

Common color logic: yellow (traffic/aisles) • white (general) • green (safe/egress) • red (fire) • blue (ADA) • black/white (cover & contrast)

Recent Kent Valley Project (Mini Case Study)

Scope: 120,000 sq ft fulfillment center off 68th Ave S.
Plan: One-way forklift loop with pedestrian crossings at end-caps; 3 staging zones near docks; ADA refresh in employee garage.
Outcome: Reported fewer aisle conflicts within 30 days and faster trailer turns at peak hours.

Our 5-Step Plan for Busy Kent Facilities

1. Walk-through & flow mapping: Trace forklift patterns, pinch points, and pedestrian risks.
2. Layout & approvals: We mark trial lines or provide a layout for sign-off.
3. Surface prep: Clean, degrease, and abrade as needed for adhesion on interior concrete.
4. Application & cure: High-contrast, crisp lines with quick reopen times.
5. Handoff: Final punch, maintenance notes, and refresh timelines.

Off-hours? Yes—nights/weekends to limit disruption on the SR-167 clock.

Kent Warehouse Striping — FAQ

Can you stripe while we’re running shifts?

Often, yes. We can segment work by aisle and stage quick-cure coatings to reopen traffic between passes.

What about polished or sealed concrete?

We mechanically abrade where needed for bond and use coatings suited for scrubbers and forklifts.

Do you provide color/key standards?

We can align with your corporate standard or propose a simple color legend that new hires can grasp fast.

How long do lines last?

Typical refresh is 12–24 months; heavy forklift turns or harsh scrubber routines may shorten that window.
