Playground Markings
Our playground markings are preformed thermoplastic designs for adding geography activities and clear stopping points to school tarmacadam. Each marking is heat applied to a suitable prepared surface creating a durable alternative to painted or stencilled playground line marking.

Thermoplastic School Playground Markings
Paint sits on top of a playground surface and can lose definition as it wears. Thermoplastic softens under heat and bonds directly to prepared tarmacadam before cooling into a hard wearing marking. This helps detailed compass points and lettering retain clear edges through regular foot traffic and changing weather.

Compass Markings for Geography and Navigation
The 4 point compass introduces north, east, south and west, making it the simplest option for younger pupils learning the main cardinal directions. The 8 point design adds north east, south east, south west and north west, while the 16 point compass supports more advanced work with bearings, angles and coordinates.
Aligning the north point with geographic north gives teachers a real reference for outdoor map work, directional games, orienteering and treasure hunts.
STOP Symbols for Playground Line Marking
The preformed STOP symbol provides consistent lettering without measuring individual characters or using a stencil. It can mark a stopping point within a playground road safety scheme, cycle route or traffic awareness layout helping children practise stopping and checking before moving through the next part of the course.
The symbol can also identify controlled points near school entrances, access routes and car park approaches where drivers or site vehicles need a clear surface instruction.
FAQ
What are playground markings made from?
The playground markings are made from preformed thermoplastic.
What surfaces can school playground markings be applied to?
They work best on clean and dry tarmacadam or another surface confirmed as suitable for thermoplastic.
How are thermoplastic playground markings installed?
The marking is laid in its final position and heated evenly with a gas torch. The thermoplastic melts into the surface and then cools into a durable finished design.
Can the STOP symbol be used in a school playground?
Yes. It can form part of a cycle track, road-safety game or traffic-awareness route where children need a clearly marked place to stop.
