Overview

EV Charging Solutions at your Service

Electric vehicles are getting more popular with every time that passes, so the demand for electric vehicle charging kudos is on the increase. The UK government has pledged to ban deals of petrol and diesel vehicles from 2040 onward, so it’s important to take this into account when considering your auto demesne markings. Still, you’ll immaculately need some electric parking bay markings to help identify the areas, If you need to install specialised electric vehicle charging points on your demesne. The most common design is a green background with white lines marked showing an image of an electric auto charging on each bay. still you’re free to choose any design for your electric charging bay line markings, as there’s no universal standard for charging kudos.

Durable and Long Lasting Markings

Preparation is key to get the best finish and to ensure that the lines are durable and long lasting. Electric car charging markings can be applied to any surface material, however, we commonly apply the markings to concrete, tarmac, and even metal.

Whichever surface we mark on must be clean, clear and contaminate free. If surfaces require extra preparation we can grind, hydro-blast or captive shotblast to remove contaminants.Primer can be used to aid with adhesion if required, on all substrates to ensure a good bond, therefore prolonging the lifespan of the product.

Providing clear walkways and zebra crossings is also essential to keep site car park users safe while walking to and from their vehicles. Whatever your car park marking needs, whether you’re looking to design a new car park or remark an existing car park to maximise the space or if you’re a contractor working on a new development, we can help.

Types of Electric Vehicle Bay Markings

THERMOPLASTIC APPLICATION

Thermoplastic is a malleable material that can be transformed into a range of designs, patterns, and lines when heated. Once cooled, it forms a long-lasting, anti-slip, and vibrant solid that adheres to the surface, making it an ideal material for bay markings.
For car park markings that require a durable and precise finish, we highly recommend our preformed thermoplastic solution, which conforms to EN 1790 standards and as used in London congestion areas and on the new blue cycle routes.
Thermoplastic materials are not only the most durable and eco-friendly option for tarmac and concrete markings, but they are also one of the swiftest to install, with a drying time of approximately 10 minutes. In contrast, paint can take up to 2 hours and requires multiple coats. Once the installation is complete, your road markings will be ready to use, walk and park on within 30 minutes. Thermoplastic is also anti-slip and self-cleaning, reducing the risk of slipperiness in wet conditions.

MMA(methyl methacrylate) APPLICATION

MMA application is known for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear, making it a popular choice among some Charge Point Operators. These markings are made by combining a resin with a powder peroxide to create a unique and specific mixture that is applied to the bay surface.
However, MMA is more expensive than thermoplastic, which can make it less suitable for smaller projects or those with limited budgets. Additionally, the application process for MMA bay markings can be more complex and requires specialized equipment, which can add to the overall cost of the project.
Overall, MMA bay markings are a highly effective and durable choice for those who require long-lasting and high-quality bay markings.
