Preformed Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint
StartMark is our best selling thermoplastic marking system. It is the perfect material for surface markings on roads, cycle routes, footpaths, car parks, playgrounds and industrial sites.
Unlike “normal” paint these thermoplastic marking products come in pre-cut lines, shapes, letters, numbers and symbols. This makes creating clean, sharp markings a simple task that almost anyone can do.
Boost road safety in small and large car parks by properly marking out parking bays, direction arrows and give way symbols. All of these simple additions to a car park can assist road users in understanding the proper flow and parking etiquette.

Common Types of Thermoplastic Markings:
Junction Markings
Use thermoplastic give way triangles at junctions to ensure that traffic yields where it needs to.
Bike Lane Markings
Available in a variety of formats road studs are perfect providing either tactile feedback to pedestrians or improved visibility for motorists. Studs can either be plastic or metallic, permanent or temporary, and reflective or non-reflective.
Rolls & Lines
Easy to roll out with one roll being the correct length for one side of one parking bay.
Bespoke Markings
With our CNC cutting machines and a wide array of colours, we can create a huge variety of shapes, symbols and designs. This can be used to brand parking spaces with a company logo, corporate branding at theme parks and venues, directional markings that match with a theme. The possibilities are endless!
The Installation Process:
- Ensure that the area to be marked out is clean, free of grease, oil, road salt, and moisture. Any loose grit or debris should be swept away to ensure you get the best results.
- If you are marking old tarmac, block paving or concrete you will require a primer. This is available in aerosol form, or in a 5-litre container. If you are applying to new tarmac you can skip this.
- Lay your markings on the ground and position them so you are happy with the layout. It is vital that the position is correct, as once you carry out the next step the markings will be permanent.
- Use a gas burner to heat and melt the markings onto the ground. During the heating process, glass beads can be added to enhance the skid and slip resistance of the thermoplastic material.
- After things have cooled down you are done! This usually only takes a few minutes and you can allow traffic to use the area.
