Not All Paints Are Created Equal
When it comes to parking lot line painting, the type of paint you choose affects how long the markings last — especially under Alberta’s harsh weather conditions.
At A&L Parking Lot Maintenance, we use professional-grade traffic paints chosen for durability, brightness, and safety. But what’s the difference between them?
1. Water-Based Paint
Best for: Quick-dry jobs, eco-conscious projects
Advantages: Low odor, environmentally friendly, dries fast
Lifespan: Great for moderate traffic and warmer weather conditions
2. Solvent-Based Paint
Best for: High-traffic or cold-weather areas
Advantages: Strong adhesion, longer life, weather-resistant
Lifespan: Excellent in extreme temperatures and heavy-use lots
3. Glass Beads for Reflectivity
For added nighttime visibility, glass beads can be added to either paint type.
These small reflective spheres make lines more visible under headlights — a big plus for safety.
4. Application Matters Too
Even the best paint won’t last if applied incorrectly.
Our team ensures consistent mil thickness, clean edges, and even coverage, using modern, well-maintained equipment for flawless results.
🎯 In short: Choosing the right paint and the right team makes all the difference.
When you hire A&L, you’re choosing professionals who combine quality materials, precision application, and fast service — every time.
