Basic 12 Hour Clock Playground Marking

Of our four clock based playground markings this is the most basic one, it features an outer line that encloses the clock face and 12 outer dots all numbered with their appropriate times representing the hours of the day.

This clock playground marking is a great way for children to learn how to tell the time from a traditional clock face and makes a great addition to almost every playground.

If you would like a clock face that can assist children with learning how to tell the time on a 24 hour clock. We have a dual face available, which shows both a 12 hour face and 24 hour face surrounding friendly smiley face in the centre.

Key Features Of Our Thermoplastic Playground Markings

• Exceptionally Durable - The base material is adapted from markings used on public roads so it is very hard-wearing.
• Easy to Apply - Requires no artistic or special skill to apply, only a gas burner. Markings are supplied in pre-cut sections.
• Vibrant Colours - Colours are vivid and will not fade or wear through.
• Great Traction - Embedded beads enhance traction reducing slip risks.

Applying our playground markings is very easy. Firstly the area must be cleaned of all loose debris, oil, grease and salts. Once this is done you are ready to get going. If your chosen surface is old tarmac, concrete or block paving then you will need to use our fast-drying primer.

Once you have fully prepped the surface the marking can be set out. Once you are happy with the marking positioning a gas burner can be used to melt the marking to the tarmac surface. For additional traction glass bead can be sprinkled over the surface, this is fused into the marking with the further application of heat.

It is important to ensure that the whole marking is melted fully to the point that it looks like cheese on toast and follows the contours of the substrate beneath. Failure to do this may mean the marking will lift. Once heated the marking cannot be re-heated as it will have oxidised and set.

Thermoplastic On Block Paving

Thermoplastic on block paving is known to be more difficult to apply and has a substantially shorter lifetime than on bituminous surfaces, such as tarmac.

Block paving is not a solid structure. Most of the time, they are put down and sand is added into the grooves, so over time when moisture creeps in as well as moss, movement can be made within 2 blocks, making the material crack and fail.
