ServiceOne of four specialist services
Preformed thermoplastic
Crosswalks, symbols and street art, fused into the road.
Overview
What it is, and why it works
Thermoplastic markings are the gold standard for precision. The preformed systems Square One installs — TrafficPatterns and DecoMark — deliver custom logos, arrows, crosswalks, and graphics that integrate seamlessly with surrounding surfaces. In BC's wet climate, thermoplastic's durability and retroreflective properties make it the choice for municipalities demanding long service life and minimal maintenance.

Questions
What people ask about preformed thermoplastic
Short answers, in the same words the page already uses. For the specification itself, the documents are in the library.
Can you do custom logos and artwork?
Yes. TrafficPatterns and DecoMark are cut to the design — logos, crosswalk art, wayfinding graphics, community branding — and installed in the owner's marking colours.
How much road closure does a thermoplastic crosswalk need?
Little. The preformed sheets are heat-fused to the pavement in place, so installation is quick and closures are short.
Does preformed thermoplastic hold up in BC's wet climate?
It is specified for it. Durability and retroreflective options are why BC municipalities choose thermoplastic over paint for markings that have to last with minimal maintenance.
