MMA Markings for Playgrounds
Get in touchPlaygrounds rely on having safe, durable and reliable for coatings and markings to keep children safe. MMA (methyl methacrylate) has become a very common option, boasting an extremely durable design and a range of different ways to handle the material installation quickly.
We can provide a huge range of MMA paint and line systems, allowing us to create very effective playground markings that can serve a range of useful functions.
How much is MMA coating and line marking for Playgrounds?
The cost of MMA coatings and markings can range anywhere from £3 to £15 per square meter, based on the kind of playground markings you are looking for.
Cost is one of the big sticking points of an MMA paint system, since the cost can vary depending based on factors like:
The size of the playground (or the area you want markings in).
The kinds of marking and coatings you are looking for.
The designs you are trying to get.
The surface type you are working with.
Any unique or bespoke elements involved.
Benefits of an MMA Playground Markings Paint System
An MMA coating can be an incredibly useful and versatile tool, especially if installed by experts with an extensive knowledge of the material (such as us). Using MMA over normal thermoplastic markings can provide benefits like:
Improved Safety
Unlike normal thermoplastic markings, MMA can offer more reflectivity as well as better line marking potential overall.
As playground markings, MMA can be very reliable, offering a non-toxic alternative to paint that can be applied in almost any layout.
This makes it easier to mark out high-traffic areas and boundaries on surfaces such as concrete, as well as defining walkways and play spaces throughout a larger site.
Better Durability
MMA is highly durable. When used as a road surface, it can handle heavy traffic on the said road surface, retaining its colour and grip potential.
From car parks and block paving to a simple playground surface, MMA can be suitable covering solutions for a variety of sports spaces and play areas within a school site.
MMA can also stand constant wear and tear throughout multiple different climates and weather conditions, allowing schools to keep their playground line marking designs for much longer when compared to regular paint.
Fast-Drying Surfaces
The fast-drying nature of MMA makes it far better than paint. A paint line marking may take hours to dry, meaning that a sports or play space may have wet paint still in it. A paint line can also chip easily, and paint line marking installation is messy.
MMA is less messy than paint, allows for a better line quality than paint, can handle surfaces like tarmac better than paints, and will dry far faster. This makes replacing the MMA markings during down time a lot more practical and less disruptive.
Mixed Functions
MMA coatings can be very versatile, working well as markings for a huge range of purposes. The general benefits of MMA make it suitable for nearly any situation if installed correctly.
A specific MMA mixture can be used as paints for a playground adventure space, with the same mixture then being used to paint lines for car parks, loading bays, or any other space where you want to paint a new line system.
Varied Bespoke Options
We can help our clients find the ideal bespoke options for their needs, whether that means specific colours (or multiple colours) alongside fun designs, sports markings, or anything else they are looking for.
No two projects are identical. Two tarmac spaces may require completely different line paint colours, or you may want to mark out sports areas out differently for specific sports games.
Lower Costs
MMA can be a much cheaper alternative to other paints. Since it wears out very slowly, you do not need to replace the lines as often, which can make a high-wear area like a sports space far cheaper in the long term.
If you create an entire line structure for a tarmac sports field in a playground, then that sports field can endure years of constant use, whereas paint may need to be replaced on a yearly basis.
Most Popular MMA Playground Colours
