Preformed Playground Markings

Preformed Playground Markings  are colourful, durable designs applied to outdoor playground surfaces using heated thermoplastic. They can be applied in a variety of shapes, patterns and themes and offer schools the flexibility to customise their playgrounds and enhance learning and socialising opportunities for students. They are a frontrunner in playground marking ideas as they can be used to promote cognitive and physical development, encourage active play and even inspire imaginative play.

Unlike painted playground markings, which require extensive drying time between coats, thermoplastic markings can be laid down quickly and the playground is ready for use within a short period of time. This helps to minimise downtime and disruptions to play, making them a good option for school playgrounds. Additionally, thermoplastics often have environmentally friendly formulations and are free of harmful solvents.

The DuraMark Playground Sensory Path Marking Complete Obstacle Course #2 is a preformed thermoplastic pavement marking that can be installed in playgrounds and recreational areas. Its stepping stones and bee design is intended to promote physical activity, balance, and coordination as children follow the pattern.

Thermoplastic playground markings can be removed using a range of techniques, including hydroblasting, sandblasting and pressure washing. However, abrasive methods can damage the underlying surface and should only be used as a last resort. Ideally, you should choose a reputable, experienced and DBS checked contractor to carry out the work.
