SCHOOL LINE MARKING MELBOURNE
Line markings are an important feature of many school grounds and playgrounds. They are used to clearly define areas for different activities, such as sports, games, and play, and to help improve the safety and organization of these spaces.
At Melbourne Lines, we believe that the enjoyment and safety of both students and staff are of the upmost importance.
In addition to the practical benefits of line markings, they can also be used to add color and interest to school grounds and playgrounds. For example, line markings can be used to create colorful patterns or designs, or to create themed areas, such as pirate-themed playgrounds or dinosaur-themed sports courts.
Overall, line markings are an important aspect of any school’s facilities and are essential for the safety and enjoyment of everyone. They can also add a fun and creative element to school grounds and playgrounds, helping to make these spaces more engaging and enjoyable for all users.

How we ACHIEVE HIGH QUALITY SCHOOL AND PLAYGROUND MARKINGS
Typically, we would first need to assess the area where the line markings will be placed and develop a plan for the layout and design of the markings. This may involve working with school officials or other stakeholders to determine the specific markings that are needed, such as playground lines, parking lines, or directional arrows.
We would then need to prepare the surface where we will apply the line markings. This may involve cleaning and repairing the surface as required to ensure that the markings will be applied evenly and smoothly.
Once the surface is prepared, we will mark out the layout of the lines using chalk or other temporary markers. This allows us to fine-tune the design and make any necessary adjustments before applying the permanent markings.
Then the fun begins! We will apply the line markings using specialized equipment and materials. Depending on the surface, this may involve spraying or rolling on the markings, using precut stencils, or using specialised thermoplastic.
what to expect FOR YOUR PROJECT
First and foremost, we will consult with you to understand your specific needs and requirements for school line markings. We will then develop a customized plan to meet your unique needs.
Accuracy and attention to detail are crucial when creating school and playground line markings. We use high-quality paint designed to withstand heavy traffic and weather conditions. Our team of experienced professionals will carefully prepare the surface before applying the markings, ensuring that the lines are straight and evenly spaced.
After completing the job, we will thoroughly clean the area, leaving the site looking like we were never there. We have a high level of understanding of OH & S best practices and all local and state regulations for school line markings. We understand that our work plays an essential role in keeping students and staff safe on school grounds, and we take that responsibility seriously. We have a wide range of materials and colour options to work with a variety of applications.
We may use several types of paint for school and playground line marking, depending on the surface and the application. Below are just a few examples:
- Water-based paint is non-toxic and more environmentally friendly – however, it is typically less durable than other alternatives.
- Acrylic Paint is made with acrylic polymer emulsion and is water-based. It is often used for line marking because it dries quickly and is resistant to weather and wear.
- Thermoplastic paint is made with a combination of resin, pigment, and glass beads, and is applied hot using specialized equipment. It is highly durable and resistant to weather and wear. It can also be made with reflective elements to improve visibility at night.
Ultimately, the type of paint or material we will use for your school and playground line marking application will depend on the specific needs and requirements of the project.
The durability of school line markings can vary depending on the type of paint or material used and the conditions in which the markings are applied and maintained.
Regardless of the type of paint or material used, it is important to follow proper maintenance procedures to ensure that the line markings remain in good condition. This may involve regularly cleaning and re-painting the markings as needed and repairing any damage. Following proper maintenance procedures, we expect line markings, stencils and playground markings to last for several years.
Drying times will once again depend on a number of factors such as the type of paint used for the application and the weather. Is the project inside, or outside?
Typically, thermoplastic materials have a very short drying time, however there is a much longer drying time for projects where cold applied plastic is used, and traffic management or blocking off certain areas of the school may be necessary.
We usually recommend that traffic be avoided for 24 hours, or up to 7 days after the application.
We have a wide range of colours available for playground line marking, sports court marking, and general school line marking. The specific colours we use will depend on the needs and preferences of the school or organization.
Typical colours for safety marking include Yellow, White and Red. At the same time, playground games and asphalt marking for design and aesthetics can be any colour.
For the best adhesion of any school line marking solutions, we highly recommend that the surface be cleaned beforehand.
We recommend thoroughly sweeping the surface to clear it of any dirt or debris and pressure washing it if you have the capabilities. Otherwise, we can price separately for this service, and our team is trained in adequately cleaning school surfaces for the application of line markings and stencils.
