Line marking isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. From car parks and warehouses to schools and roads, each environment comes with its own demands. A question we often hear is: “Do different types of sites need different types of line marking?”
The short answer is yes. At C&R Ltd, we specialise in tailored line marking services that suit the specific needs of each location. In this blog, we explain how different sites influence the design, materials, and approach needed to get the best results.
Why One Type of Line Marking Doesn’t Fit All
Every site serves a different purpose—and line marking must reflect that. A sports court needs clear, accurate boundaries for play. A warehouse demands safety zones and durable, anti-slip coatings. Meanwhile, a retail car park needs accessible bays and smooth traffic flow.
Choosing the wrong type of marking for a setting can lead to:
- Premature wear and fading
- Confusion for users
- Safety risks and non-compliance
- Wasted time and budget on repeat works
That’s why working with experienced professionals like C&R Ltd is so important.
