External Line Marking

Common Applications of External Line Marking

You’ll be able to see evidence of line marking on most roads that you drive on. Commonly they are found marking lanes, crossings and telling drivers when to give way. However, if your business operates a car park, HGV yard or loading area then you may also need to consider external line marking.

Car parks often need marking to specify where a car parking space is, where a parent and child space is, disabled parking bays and directions for traffic. Using line markings on a tarmac driveway can also prevent the need for future tarmac repair by helping to manage the flow of traffic and reducing the risk of heavy wear and tear.

Leisure centres that have sporting facilities also often have line marking requirements, for example markings in tennis courts or running tracks. Getting specialist line marking done is crucial to ensure the longevity of the markings and ensuring that they can stand up to heavy foot traffic. Especially as for any asphalt surfaces, you need tarmac sealer to ensure that the paint will remain on the tarmac surfaces and won’t wash away after only one coat of rain.

External line markings are also important safety elements at warehouses where you may have outdoor forklift traffic that needs line markings, walkways for safety or even markings that show where things need to be stored.

Lines can be marked on multiple flooring types including concrete, tarmac and asphalt, the most important thing is that the floor is safe and that your markings are there to last.
