Types of Line Striping Offered:

There are several options when it comes to parking lot striping layouts and styles. Stipe It Right can help you decide things such as: Do I want single lines? or Double lines? Or Do I want straight end design or the popular round end design for the parking line? We can help with the design of your stalls or follow a set of well drawn blueprints. It’s entirely up to you. Its best to consult your city planner before you make any design decision that can affect your parking lot users.

  • Single Line Striping / This is a striping line that is just one single line separating two car spaces. This is the least expensive option when it comes to parking lot stripes.
  • Double Line Striping / This is a double line usually boxed at the end. Spaced approximately 1 foot apart from center line to center line these are preferred because they give drivers a small buffer that allows for better entry and exit of their parked vehicle and their car doors opening.
  • Round End Striping / Round End stalls are exactly like the double line parking lot striping mentioned above. However, they have a decorative rounded half circle end instead of a square flat end like the standard counterpart. Many high end malls and business parks like to use these to add a touch of class to their line striping layout. Since they require a separate stencil to complete the round end they usually cost more than the standard double square ended stall line.
  • 90 Degree / This type of parking line is basically a stall that you pull straight into. Also referred to as head in parking. It means that when a vehicle pulls into a 90 degree stall it is positioned perfectly straight into the stall perpendicular to the curb face.
  • 60 Degree / This type of parking lot striping line is the second most common degree of parking stall layout. It is also referred to as angled parking. This is the least severe angle one can use when laying out a parking spaces and is often used where head in or 90 degree parking is not permissible. Another reason one might want to use this type of layout would be that it helps create more back out space from the parking stall making it easier for vehicles to pull in and out of.
  • 45 Degree / This angle choice in parking lot striping is exactly like the one mentioned above however the degree is even greater. The tighter an area is that parking is trying to be created for the greater the severity of the angle is needed.
  • T-stall / Also known as parallel parking. This type of layout scenario is typically used in an alley or up against a fence or block wall. The layout of allows a property owner to take advantage of areas where parking typically doesn’t occur. An example would be a building owner laying out parking along a wall where a driveway is. In order to maintain traffic flow he can’t place a traditional parking space however; he can use t-stalls. This basically means striping the corners of single spaces parallel to the wall marked only by the two corners of the cars outer edge with a T. 

Types of Paint Offered:

There are many different paint products to choose from based on the type of parking lot striping you need done. We are very familiar with all of these products listed below, plus may others. If you contact us we can discuss your paint options to find a solution that’s right for you. When choosing the paint always consult with your salesmen or local paint rep for the best fit for your specific striping application.

  • Water Based Paints / Best used on light traffic low maintenance parking lot areas. Most parking lots and curbs are painted with this type of paint because of its low cost. Its affordability comes at a sacrifice of strength. However most businesses do annual parking lot maintenance so long term durability is not always a necessity.
  • Oil Based Paints / One step up from water based striping paints in terms of quality, but be sure oil based paint is not going to be striped over existing water based paint or adhesion will be an issue.
  • Two Part Urethane Enamels / Enamels are a great product with an industrial strong finish. Best used outdoors because of its ability to stand up to the elements. Sometimes however two coats are required to get the desired finish and they can get costly.
  • Two Part Epoxies / Epoxies are very similar to the enamel family of coatings however; they are best suited for indoor use such as striping warehouses, striping in distribution centers, and warehouses. They are also more costly and sometimes require two coats to get the desired finish. However they last much much longer than water and oil base products.
