Fresh, crisp line markings make a huge difference to safety, organisation, and the professional appearance of any site. But over time, traffic, weather, and general wear can take their toll. A question we’re often asked is: “How can we make our line markings last longer and stay looking sharp?”
At C&R Ltd, we specialise in high-quality, long-lasting line marking solutions. Here’s our guide to keeping them in top condition for as long as possible.
Choose the Right Material from the Start
The first step in long-lasting markings is choosing the correct material for your site:
- Thermoplastic for roads and outdoor car parks — highly durable and weather resistant.
- MMA resin for heavy-duty industrial areas or warehouses.
- Epoxy or polyurethane coatings for indoor facilities.
- Water-based paints for temporary or low-traffic areas.
Using the wrong material can cause premature fading, peeling, or cracking.
Prepare the Surface Properly
Even the best materials won’t last if the surface isn’t prepared correctly. That’s why at C&R Ltd, we:
- Clean away dirt, dust, and debris.
- Remove old or flaking markings.
- Treat oil or fuel contamination.
- Prime smooth or polished concrete for better adhesion.
Proper preparation ensures markings bond strongly to the surface.
Schedule Regular Inspections
Regularly checking the condition of your markings allows you to:
- Spot early signs of fading or wear.
- Address damage before it becomes a safety issue.
- Plan reapplication or touch-ups during quieter periods.
This proactive approach keeps your site looking professional and compliant year-round.
Protect High-Traffic Areas
Some areas naturally wear faster than others, such as loading bays, junctions, or busy pedestrian crossings. These can be protected with:
- Extra-thick coatings.
- Anti-slip finishes.
- More durable materials in high-wear sections.
