-
Why is the tarmac darker around the markings?
There are two reasons why the tarmac may look darker round the edges of the markings at first. We use heat to apply the markings which will draw bitumen to the surface. This will fade over time. We also apply a surface primer on older grounds to seal the surface in preparation for the markings. This is dark in colour and is used on a larger area than the markings require to ensure total coverage for longer lasting playground markings. This will also fade over time.
-
Why is there chalk around the markings?
We mark all of our games out with chalk before installation to ensure everything is the correct size and in line for placement. The chalk marks will wash away with the first good rainfall or can be jet washed away if you prefer.
-
What is the dust you put over the markings?
The preformed thermoplastic we use has a slip-resistant standard of 65, however, we add a little more crushed glass for initial slip resistance when installing!
-
How are the markings applied?
We apply the markings by heating them onto the surface with a propane lance, creating a bond with the tarmac.
-
