Installing thermoplastic playground markings in Durham requires precision, expertise, and the right equipment to ensure durability and a professional finish.
We offer a full installation service, delivering high-quality heat-applied thermoplastic markings that are long-lasting, vibrant, and safe for children’s play areas.
Site Preparation: Before installation, we ensure the playground surface is clean, dry, and free from debris. If necessary, we can provide a surface cleaning service to remove dirt, moss, or old markings, ensuring a strong bond for the new thermoplastic.
Design Layout & Marking Placement: Using precise measurements, we accurately position the thermoplastic markings according to the agreed design. Whether it's hopscotch, sports courts, roadways, or educational markings, our team ensures the layout is aligned correctly.
Heat Application Process: Once positioned, the thermoplastic material is heated using a specialist gas torch, allowing it to bond securely to the playground surface. This quick-setting process ensures a strong, long-lasting finish that withstands heavy use and weather conditions.
Cooling & Final Checks: The markings cool within minutes, meaning the playground can be used almost immediately after installation. We conduct a final quality check to ensure all markings are secure, vibrant, and perfectly aligned.
