At Elite Markings Ltd, we take pride in ensuring that local businesses and public spaces are accessible, safe, and compliant with the latest standards. We recently headed to the vibrant town of Taunton, Somerset, to overhaul the disabled parking provisions for a busy retail site.
Providing high-quality line marking in Taunton isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about ensuring every visitor feels welcome and can navigate the car park with ease and safety.
Precision Engineering for Concrete Surfaces
Not all surfaces are created equal. For this specific project in Somerset, we were working on a concrete substrate. Concrete requires a different approach than standard tarmac to ensure the markings don’t peel or flake under heavy use.
To guarantee a long-lasting finish, our team used a specialized single-pack paint specifically formulated for its superior adhesion to concrete. This ensures the bays remain vibrant and durable against the elements and high volumes of daily traffic.
Meeting Full Regulations
Accessibility is a priority, not an afterthought. We painted these new disabled bays to full UK regulations, ensuring:
- Correct Dimensions: Providing ample space for wheelchair users to enter and exit vehicles safely.
- High Visibility: Utilizing crisp, yellow and white contrasts with the required international symbol of access.
- Safety Hatches: Including the necessary hatched loading areas to prevent other vehicles from parking too close.
Minimal Disruption: The Night Shift
We understand that for Taunton’s retailers, closing a car park during the day simply isn’t an option. To ensure zero disruption to the shopping experience, the Elite Markings team carried out the entire project after hours.
Working through the night, we prepared the surface and applied the specialist coating while the town slept. Thanks to the fast-drying properties of our single-pack paint, the bays were fully cured, bone-dry, and ready for shoppers by the time the doors opened the following morning.
