FAQs: Car park line marking
In this section, you’ll find the answers to your frequently asked questions on car park lining. Is there something we’ve missed? If you can’t find the answer, call our friendly team on 0800 848 8414 or email webenquiries@riggott.co.uk.
What kind of paint do you use?
Thermoplastic paint is the most popular type of line-marking paint. It’s highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for areas with heavy traffic.
This paint adheres well to asphalt and concrete surfaces, providing a strong and stable finish.
How much does white lining cost?
The cost of white lining is determined by the size and complexity of the job. If old and faded lines need to be removed first, the job will likely cost more. Complex designs and symbols also add to the price. Many car park marking contractors offer bulk discounts for large areas.
Call our car park lining services team on 0800 848 8414 for a detailed quote.
What is the width of the line marking in a car park?
In the UK, the standard width for car park markings is typically 50mm to 100mm. The exact width may vary depending on the type of marking and its purpose. Thermoplastic car park markings are usually closer to 100mm for added durability and visibility.
While there are no legal requirements for the width of markings, they should be clear and consistent throughout the car park.
How long does car park line marking cost?
The lifespan of car park line marking depends on the material used, traffic volume, weather conditions, and maintenance. Paint-based line markings typically last 1 to 3 years, whereas thermoplastic markings can last 5 to 10 years (or more).
What maintenance is required to keep lines visible?
Dirt, oil, and debris can affect the visibility of line markings. Regular cleaning is essential to keep your car park marking looking its best. Inspect your markings once or twice a year, and address any damage with touch-ups when required. Most reputable car park line marking companies can help with repairs and maintenance.
