Your parking lot is often the first thing customers see when they visit your business. Clean, bright lines make it easy to park, guide traffic safely, and show that the property is well kept. Faded or confusing markings do the opposite. This guide covers the basics of parking lot striping and the supplies you need to do it right.
Parking lot striping is the set of painted lines and markings that define parking stalls, traffic lanes, crosswalks, and accessible spaces. Most lines are white or yellow traffic paint made to bond with asphalt or concrete and resist fading. Many crews add glass beads to the wet paint so the lines reflect headlights and stay visible at night.
A good striping layout keeps traffic moving in a clear, predictable pattern. Most lots need:

Yes. Most commercial parking lots need accessible spaces with compliant markings, access aisles, and signage. Plan for ADA requirements any time you stripe or re-stripe. We carry ADA signs and detectable warning tile, which gives visually impaired pedestrians a non-skid warning surface at curb ramps and crossings. Learn more about ADA compliant signs.
Most lots need re-striping every 1 to 2 years. Busy lots with heavy truck traffic may need it sooner, while thermoplastic markings can last longer.
Water-based traffic paint is the most common choice for parking lots. Thermoplastic is a better fit for high-traffic areas where lines wear out quickly.
