What Surfaces Do Playground Games Markings Work On?
Our playground games markings are suitable for various outdoor surfaces. At Playground Games, we apply our designs on concrete, asphalt, and tarmac surfaces.
We pre-treat these surfaces using a thorough cleaning process to remove debris and ensure optimal adhesion. For specific needs, we use thermoplastic materials that offer long-lasting colour and resistance to fading due to UV exposure.
Our methods comply with safety standards, such as BS EN 1176, which ensures the markings are safe for children’s play. These materials are applied using specialised equipment that allows precise control over the design and layout, resulting in clear and vibrant patterns.
Each material is prepped for optimal adhesion and durability, ensuring that the markings endure regular use without deterioration.
However, our markings are not recommended for loose surfaces like sand or grass as they do not provide a stable base. If you are unsure about your surface, contact us for an assessment.
