This question should have an obvious answer, and it does – warehouse markings are lines painted on the floor of a warehouse to help the warehouse, its staff and its vehicles move around in a more cohesive way.
But, to pin it down further, warehouse markings have three specific functions, these include:
Safety – Safety has to be one of, or even the most important factors in the running of your St Albans warehouse. But, keeping staff and visitors safe, can only happen with the right guidance in place.
This is where a carefully planned out and professionally installed line marking layout comes into its own. Whether it’s lines showing danger points, such as forklift working areas, areas where hazardous materials are stored, or safe walkways, your line markings provide instant, visual guidance without the need for extra signage.

Efficiency – Of course, efficiency in your St Albans warehouse is vital. Any extended downtime, can have a detrimental effect on your business, especially if it’s happening on a daily basis. This is another instance, a well thought out warehouse line marking layout really helps.
By installing clearly defined walkways, traffic routes and directions, and gridded areas for goods in and goods out etc., you create a smooth flow to the environment, allowing workers to get the job done in the quickest time possible, without confusion or interruption.
Aesthetics – By their nature, warehouses aren’t pretty, so any way of improving the décor helps make a better working environment and gives off a better image to visitors.
With a professional warehouse line marking layout, consisting of vibrantly coloured lines and graphics, using some of the industry’s most vibrant and colourful applications, the look of your warehouse can be turned around, either by making it brighter and more welcoming, or more representative of your brand.
At Newns Markings, we like to keep your whole warehouse line marking project simple. So, once you’ve contacted us, the process will usually consist of three parts, which include:
A free site survey – We’ll carry out a free site survey to view the area where the line markings will be installed, assess the surface and measure up etc. It also gives us the opportunity to get to know how your business works, to help us when it comes to designing your line marking layout.
The design stage – This second stage will be where we create the perfect design for your St Albans warehouse. We’ll take into consideration all the information we got from the site survey, including how your business functions, and come up with a line marking design that creates a safe, efficient and smart-looking warehouse.
Installation – The final stage of the project will be the installation of your warehouse line markings. Our first job will be to ensure the surface is free from debris and dust. We’ll achieve this using specialist, captive blasters/grinders, designed to help give the line marking application the best chance of bonding with the surface.
Once the floor has been prepared, our operatives will install your warehouse floor markings using the most suitable application, such as thermoplastic or MMA, applications designed to be hardwearing and remain colourful and vibrant regardless of traffic levels.
