Why Choose Thermoplastic for Road Markings?

Thermoplastic road marking services offer enhanced durability, typically lasting between 3 to 10 years, depending on traffic conditions and maintenance. They are fast-drying, becoming traffic-ready within minutes of application.

The integration of reflective glass beads enhances visibility during night and wet-weather conditions. Additionally, these markings are skid-resistant and weatherproof, ensuring safety across various environments. Importantly, they are fully compliant with UK regulations, including BS EN 1436 and TSRGD standards.

What Types of Thermoplastic Markings Are Available?

A broad range of thermoplastic road marking services are available to suit different requirements, including:

• Centre lines, edge lines, and lane separators – For clear traffic delineation and lane control.
• Arrows, speed roundels, lettering, and symbols – To provide directional guidance and regulatory information.
• Box junctions, chevrons, and hatch markings – For intersection management and congestion control.
• Zebra crossings, stop lines, and give-way markings – To enhance pedestrian visibility and safety.

How Much Do Thermoplastic Road Marking Services Cost?

Thermoplastic road marking services in the UK cost between £1 and £3 per metre, with total project prices ranging from £500 to over £25,000 based on the scale and specifics of the site.

What Is the Thermoplastic Application Process?

The process of installing thermoplastic road markings begins with a site survey and layout planning to determine the optimal marking configuration. Next, the surface undergoes cleaning and preparation to ensure proper adhesion.

The thermoplastic material is then heated to 180–200°C and applied using specialised equipment. If required, reflective beads are added to enhance visibility. The material cools and hardens within minutes, allowing for minimal disruption to traffic flow.

How Long Do Thermoplastic Road Markings Last?

Thermoplastic road markings typically last between 5 to 10 years, depending on traffic intensity and surface conditions. They are particularly suited for high-traffic, high-wear environments, offering a durable solution that reduces the need for frequent reapplication.

To maintain optimal visibility and compliance, maintenance and relining services are available as needed.

Where Are Thermoplastic Markings Commonly Used?

Thermoplastic road markings are applied in a wide range of environments to improve safety, navigation, and efficiency, including:

• Public highways and local roads – For lane delineation, arrows, speed limits, and other essential road signage.
• Car parks (retail, commercial, and residential) – To define bays, direct traffic, and mark reserved or accessible spaces.
• Cycle lanes and bus routes – To ensure clear separation of transport modes and enhance road user safety.
• School safety zones and pedestrian crossings – For high-visibility markings that protect vulnerable users.
• EV charging bays and loading zones – To designate usage-specific areas and ensure compliance.
• Industrial estates and private access roads – For navigation, hazard indication, and site traffic control.

What Surfaces Can Thermoplastic Be Applied To?

Thermoplastic road markings adhere best to asphalt and tarmac surfaces. They can also be applied to concrete surfaces when an appropriate primer is used to enhance adhesion.

However, they are not recommended for gravel or heavily uneven surfaces, as these conditions can compromise the integrity and longevity of the markings.
