Epoxy Striping: High-Durability Floor Markings That Outperform the Rest
If you run a warehouse, factory, or high-traffic facility, you know your floor markings take a beating. Forklifts, pallet jacks, spills, and cleaning equipment can wear down basic paint fast. That’s why epoxy striping is the industry’s go-to solution for long-term performance.
At Phoenix Striping, we use Tile Clad HS epoxy—a premium-grade, industrial-strength epoxy that delivers unbeatable durability, visibility, and adhesion. Even better? We quote it affordably—often at the same price other companies charge for lower-quality epoxy.
What Is Epoxy Striping?
Epoxy striping uses a two-part chemical coating that bonds to concrete or sealed floors, creating a hardened, high-adhesion surface that resists wear and tear better than traditional paint or tape.
It’s commonly used for:
Forklift and vehicle lanes
Pallet storage outlines
Workstation boundaries
Pedestrian paths and safety zones
Numbered aisles and direction arrows
Equipment staging areas
Note: Epoxy is the top-tier solution for environments where markings must last under constant pressure and abrasion.
Why We Use Tile Clad HS Epoxy
While there are plenty of epoxy products on the market, not all are created equal. Tile Clad HS epoxy is the gold standard. It’s engineered for industrial use, offering higher solids content, stronger adhesion, and longer lifespan compared to standard epoxies.
Benefits of Tile Clad HS epoxy:
Withstands heavy machinery traffic
Resistant to chemicals, oils, and solvents
High-gloss finish for visibility and cleanability
Bonds better to prepared concrete
Longer-lasting than lower-tier products
Performs well in both indoor and semi-outdoor settings
Bonus: We use the best because we care about long-term results—not shortcuts.
Epoxy Striping vs. Other Marking Materials
Here’s how Tile Clad HS epoxy compares to other common floor marking systems:
Material | Durability | Dry Time | Best Use |
---|---|---|---|
Tile Clad HS Epoxy | 3–5+ years | Moderate | High-traffic, industrial use |
Water-Based Paint | 6–12 months | Fast | Light traffic or short-term zones |
Aexcel Gorilla + EcoTuff | 1–2 years | Fast | Affordable, durable alternative |
Floor Tape | 6–18 months | Instant | Temporary or flexible layouts |
Note: While epoxy takes longer to cure than paint, the payoff is significantly longer performance and fewer maintenance interruptions.
Common Epoxy Striping Applications
Epoxy isn’t just for warehouse floors—it’s perfect for any industrial or commercial setting where you need markings that hold up over time.
We regularly install epoxy striping in:
Distribution centers
Manufacturing plants
Cold storage facilities
Vehicle service bays
Food-grade facilities (with proper coatings)
Airports, hangars, and transit hubs
Commercial garages and workshops
Because epoxy bonds so well to concrete and holds up against everything from forklifts to oil spills, it’s a favorite among facility managers who want long-term results without constant maintenance.
How Epoxy Striping Is Installed
Epoxy requires more prep and planning than paint—but the results speak for themselves.
Here’s how we apply epoxy striping:
Surface prep: We clean, degrease, and mechanically grind or etch the surface to ensure the epoxy bonds properly.
Layout: We mark out lanes, zones, numbers, and directional markings using high-precision stencils and layout tools.
Epoxy application: Tile Clad HS epoxy is mixed and applied by our experienced crew using commercial equipment.
Curing: We allow proper cure time (usually 12–24 hours depending on conditions) to ensure a durable, traffic-ready finish.
Bonus: Once cured, Tile Clad epoxy creates a thick, glossy layer that’s resistant to tire marks, foot traffic, and frequent washdowns.
Affordability Without Compromise
One of the biggest myths about epoxy striping is that it’s “too expensive.” The truth?
Phoenix Striping quotes Tile Clad HS epoxy at pricing that’s comparable to what many competitors charge for standard, lower-quality epoxy.
Because we specialize in this material and know how to install it efficiently, we’re able to keep costs competitive while delivering premium results.
