At Elite Markings Ltd, we understand that for large commercial operations, every minute of the day counts. That was certainly the case when we were contracted by IKEA Bristol to refresh the line markings at their busy warehouse collection point. The markings—essential for traffic flow and safety—had faded, leading to potential confusion for delivery drivers and customers navigating the area. Our mission was to bring clarity and order back to the facility without causing any disruption to their daytime operations.
Working Under the Stars
To ensure IKEA could maintain its usual business hours and customer service standards, our team executed the entire project overnight. This strategic scheduling allowed us to work on a completely clear site, maximizing efficiency and eliminating any inconvenience for IKEA staff or customers arriving to pick up orders. Safety is our priority, and working in a secure, traffic-free environment allowed us to focus purely on quality.
Precision Markings for Seamless Flow
The project involved a complete refresh of several critical areas:
- Roadway Junctions: Clearly defining the entry and exit points to manage vehicle movement safely.
- Directional Arrows: Re-marking all guidance arrows to ensure a one-way system is maintained, reducing congestion and the risk of accidents.
- Mini Roundabout Markings: Bringing sharp, clear definition to the mini-roundabout, which is vital for smooth, continuous flow of vehicles around the collection point.
For all the new markings, we exclusively used white thermoplastic screed. This material is the line marking go to for high-traffic areas. Applied hot, it creates a highly durable, reflective, and long-lasting surface that resists wear from heavy vehicles and the elements. The bright white finish now provides exceptional visibility, day and night.
Our Commitment to Quality
We completed the job on schedule, ensuring the IKEA warehouse was ready for business as usual by the time the sun rose. The refreshed markings will provide clear, safe guidance for thousands of vehicles for years to come. This commitment to superior materials and service is why we proudly back all our work with a 2-year guarantee.
