Ground markings that guide children, staff and visitors around your site. We design and install directional arrows, one-way systems, footprints and safety markers in hard-wearing thermoplastic, in your chosen colours.
Wayfinding markings are thermoplastic markings laid onto the ground to guide people around a site, from directional arrows and one-way system markings to footprints, keep-apart markers and hand-wash area markers. Schools, councils, workplaces and car parks use them to move people safely, with a clear instruction right where it is needed. Uniplay designs and installs them to suit your site and your colours, as one type of the playground markings we fit across the UK.
Arrows and footprints keep people moving in one direction, so busy paths, gates and entrances flow better at the busiest times.
One-way markings and arrows make a route clear at a glance, for children, staff and first-time visitors alike.
Keep-apart markers, distance lines and hand-wash area markers put the instruction on the ground, right where it is needed.
Thermoplastic is durable, highly visible and anti-slip, and it can take foot traffic within minutes of being laid.
Directional and safety markings, marked straight onto the ground.
Floor arrows that show the way along paths, access routes and around the outside of a building.
One-way markings and arrows that set a clear direction of travel around a site.
Footprint markings that show people where to walk, or where to stand and wait.
Keep apart markers and distance lines that space people out in queues and waiting areas.
Markings that point people to a hand-wash or sanitise area.
Lines, numbers, symbols and custom safety markings designed for your site, including anti-slip step nosings.
Survey, design, install and aftercare, and most of it is ours to do.
We visit the site, look at the routes people take and where they bunch up, then agree the markings with you.
You get a free design showing every arrow, footprint and marker in your chosen colours before anything is installed.
Our own in-house installation team lays the markings in hard-wearing thermoplastic on your chosen day.
We check the finish and tidy the site. Markings can be added to or refreshed later.
Wayfinding and safety markings are priced per site after a free survey. The figure depends on how many arrows, footprints and markers you need, the area covered and the state of the surface. We send a free design and a detailed quote, with no hidden costs and our price match promise, and there is no obligation.
Prices exclude VAT
Payment terms and any site-dependent charges, for example an aborted visit or extra cleaning, are set out in our terms.

Signage works at eye level on walls and posts, while wayfinding markings work at ground level. They suit places where wall space is limited, where people are looking down, or where you want a route a young child can follow. Many sites use the two together.
Directional arrows, one-way system markings, footprints, keep-apart markers, distance lines, hand-wash and sanitise area markers, and lines, numbers, symbols and custom safety markings designed for your site.
Yes. Our markings come in 18 standard colours, and bespoke RAL colours are available on request, so we can pick out your house colours. We show the colours on your design before install.
No. The thermoplastic we use has anti-skid properties that help prevent slips, particularly in wet weather. It is the same material we use for playground and roadway markings.
Our thermoplastic markings carry a manufacturer's warranty of up to 4 years, subject to ground condition, and we have seen them last for over 10 years. Life depends on how busy the route is and the state of the surface, and individual markings can be refreshed rather than redone in full.
Yes. As well as schools, our safety markings suit car parks, pathways, access routes, warehouses and manufacturing spaces, and we have worked with local councils on public spaces. Our own in-house installation team travels from our Lancashire base to sites across the UK and Ireland.
