Questions & Answers

F.A.Q.

Prices vary from project to project, due to the number of variables involved with the process, including location, time, colours, shapes, sizes, number of markings required. It’s best practice to get in touch with Metro Surfacing to get a better understanding as to pricings as we can accurately deliver a catered quote based upon your specific requirements.

The lifespan of markings can vary depending on several factors. In our experience our thermoplastic line markings have stuck for several years, though the longevity of markings could be affected by:

  • Traffic Volume: High-traffic areas experience more wear and tear due to constant vehicle movement. As a result, markings in busy urban areas, highways, and intersections may degrade more quickly than those in low-traffic residential streets or rural roads.
  • Weather Conditions: Extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, ice, and prolonged exposure to sunlight can accelerate the deterioration of line markings.
  • Surface Type: The type of surface on which the line markings are applied can affect their longevity. Markings on smooth, well-maintained asphalt surfaces tend to last longer than those on rough or deteriorating pavement.
  • Maintenance Practices: Regular maintenance and upkeep can extend the lifespan of line markings. This may include periodic cleaning to remove dirt, debris, and oil build-up, as well as prompt repair of damaged or faded markings.

Depending on the size of the project, the line marking could take a matter of minutes or a matter of days. Through proper planning, coordination and execution our specialist line marking division are experienced in handling jobs of all sizes, quickly and effectively completing works to a high degree.

Thermoplastic paint offers several advantages over other types of road line marking paints, making it a popular choice for road markings and pavement markings in various applications:

  • Durability: Thermoplastic paint is highly durable and resistant to wear, abrasion, and weathering.
  • Reflectivity: Thermoplastic paint contains reflective glass beads that enhance visibility, especially during night and low-light conditions.
  • Quick Drying: Thermoplastic paint dries quickly upon application, allowing for rapid traffic reopening and minimal disruption to road users.
  • Adhesion: Thermoplastic paint adheres exceptionally well to various surfaces, including asphalt and concrete. Its strong adhesion ensures that markings stay in place even under heavy traffic loads, preventing peeling, chipping, or flaking over time.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Thermoplastic paint formulations are often free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful chemicals, making them environmentally friendly options for line marking projects.
