Our children playgrounds are where they continue their learning and build skills for life therefore it is important that the area is safe.
One way of doing this is by using effective, durable line markings. Our line markings for children’s playgrounds are of course non-toxic and safe. The line markings that we use within children; s playgrounds are thermoplastic and designed to last. They are skid resistant as well as being colourful which appeals to the children using the playground. This helps to create a fun and appealing playground all whilst maintaining safety.
To create a safe and engaging playground with our thermoplastic line markings we have to follow some key steps to ensure that the line markings do the job they are designed to do. The process involves firstly the design. We need to make sure the designs we are painting follow safe rules of play and are marked correctly to always ensure safety. Then the area needs to be cleaned before the application of the thermoplastic paint.
Here are some of the key points we follow when creating safe and engaging playgrounds for children.
- Prepare the surface – The tarmac needs to be clean and dry before the paint is applied to ensure that the paint is applied to a fresh surface.
- Planning – The paint markings need to be planned to ensure safe flow through the playground to minimise accidents. Different areas for different uses can be marked out to help children know where they need to be for activities.
- Materials – We will always use high quality nontoxic thermoplastic pain for children’s
playgrounds.
- Mark the area – The markings are then marked precisely to ensure the lines are marked correctly for the children to play safely.
- Prime – We then prime the area to make sure the surface is well sealed and the bonding is at its optimum
- Heat application – Then the real fun starts the thermoplastic heat paint is applied to melt the paint to the surface creating your new playground for the children to enjoy.
