At TLM, we specialise in the creation of custom-made playground markings for your school, primary or secondary, and likewise, vacant plots with a specific theme to complement the set of colours already used.

Installation of Thermoplastic Playground Marking – The process
Thermoplastic playground markings demand skill, precision, and meticulous detailing to produce designs and patterns that improve the play experience of school children. Our playground surface marking operatives have all three traits necessary for maintaining the vibrance and durability of our designs. When you hire TLM to install the line markings onto playgrounds, expect us to navigate through the following steps:
- Get the surface ready: We begin by removing existing line marks and cleaning the surface. Once it’s rid of debris and cleared of obstacles, we proceed to the next step.
- Plan the designs: We plan the patterns by consulting with you as our client, as well as our designers and other stakeholders, to complement the existing theme and layout.
- Heat thermoplastic: We turn thermoplastic material into a molten and pliable state by heating it to a specific temperature.
- Application: We apply the heated thermoplastic directly onto the playground with the help of stencils and templates to create specific patterns.
- Cool down: We let it cool to solidify the thermoplastic material.
- Lend finishing touches: We trim the excess material and lend necessary touch-ups to produce accurate playground markings.
- Inspect quality: We perform a final inspection to check whether the markings have been securely bonded and match the quality standards.
- Cure the markings: Leave the playground line markings to completely harden and securely bond to the surface, a process known as curing.
Turn safety standards up a notch by choosing thermoplastic material for playground marking on school premises. We contribute to a non-slip surface with UV resistance that prevents slips and falls from occurring.
