What are Thermoplastic Playground Markings?

Thermoplastic playground markings are colourful and durable designs or patterns applied to playground surfaces, such as tarmac, asphalt or concrete, using a thermoplastic material.

Thermoplastic is a type of plastic that, when heated, becomes a liquid and can be applied to surfaces before solidifying as it cools.

This process creates vibrant, long-lasting, and visually appealing markings that are often used for both aesthetic and functional purposes in school playgrounds, parks, and recreational areas.

Our thermoplastic markings can be used in any outdoor space, such as school playgrounds and public areas. Thermoplastic materials make our markings easy to install and come in bespoke designs to suit your needs.

Our company has been providing thermoplastic markings for many years, including thermoplastic road markings and playground marking services to Ludstock.

All our playground markings are made using this flexible and durable material, ensuring they will last a long time and remain weather resistant.

Thermoplastic playground markings are the easiest way to transform any playground surface into a fun environment for children, whether a play area or an outdoor learning facility.

Made with non-toxic materials, our markings are slip resistant and durable to suit all needs.

How are Playground Markings Installed?

Thermoplastic playground markings are installed using a straightforward process that involves heating, applying, and then cooling the thermoplastic material to create vibrant and durable designs on the playground surface.

Here's a general overview of how thermoplastic playground markings are installed:

  1. Surface Preparation: The playground surface, typically made of tarmac or concrete, must be clean, dry, and in good condition before installation. Any debris, dirt, or loose material is removed from the surface.

  2. Design Planning: The desired playground floor markings and designs are planned in advance. This may involve working with a designer or choosing from pre-designed templates based on the specific requirements and themes of the playground.

  3. Heating the Thermoplastic Material: Thermoplastic playground markings are supplied in the form of sheets, rolls, or preformed thermoplastic playground shapes shapes. To make the material pliable, it is heated using a specialised heating machine or propane torch. The temperature is carefully controlled to ensure the material reaches the right consistency for application.

  4. Application: Once the thermoplastic material is heated to the appropriate temperature, it is placed onto the prepared playground surface in the desired design or pattern. The material is applied using a combination of heat and pressure, which helps it adhere firmly to the surface.

  5. Cooling and Solidification: As the thermoplastic material is applied, it begins to cool and solidify. This process happens relatively quickly, allowing for rapid installation. Some installations may involve using cool water or compressed air to speed up the cooling process.

  6. Quality Control: During and after installation, quality control measures are taken to ensure that the markings are properly applied, adhere securely, and meet the desired specifications for colour and design.

  7. Final Inspection: Once the thermoplastic markings have fully cooled and solidified, a final inspection is carried out to check for any defects, inconsistencies, or imperfections. Any necessary touch-ups or adjustments are made at this stage.

  8. Cleaning: Any residual material or debris is cleaned from the surrounding area, leaving the playground surface tidy and ready for use.

  9. Curing: While thermoplastic markings are generally ready for use shortly after installation, some curing time may be required to achieve maximum durability. During this time, it's important to avoid heavy traffic on the markings.
