See how we helped Ibstock transform their space with a bespoke trail - designed by the children!
Public spaces are more than just tarmac; they're often the heart of a community. The right design can transform an area, creating a vibrant cultural hub, telling a local story, or providing clear, engaging wayfinding for visitors.
However, public art commissions face unique challenges. The design must be precisely executed, and the materials must withstand heavy, daily public traffic for years.
At Thermmark, we are the UK's only start-to-finish thermoplastic art piece manufacturer and installer. We have a proven track record of collaborating with public bodies and architects to deliver high-profile, large-scale art installations, from initial concept to flawless installation.
We were honoured to work with the Isle of Man Government to create the centrepiece for the new Sir Mark Cavendish Raceway. This approx 200m² bespoke mural required us to translate a complex artistic design into a durable, large-scale thermoplastic installation. This project demonstrates our unique capability to handle public commissions of any scale and profile.
In 2022 we delivered a complex Fibonacci spiral design. This piece sits at the heart of the new Waverley community, serving as both an educational landmark and a public art focal point, proving our ability to create art that engages and educates.
Working with developers Make Shift, we helped bring the vibrant outdoor space at Hackney Bridge to life. This project involved manufacturing and installing custom, colourful wayfinding and branding elements that defined this new cultural hub, highlighting our ability to work with commercial partners on urban design projects.
We understand the distinct requirements of the public realm. As a UK manufacturer, we provide the technical assurance and creative freedom required to deliver successful, long-lasting community projects.
Public funds demand a lasting return on investment. We manufacture our own road-quality, anti-slip thermoplastic designed specifically to withstand heavy foot traffic and the rigours of the UK climate.
Lasting Performance: Our materials last up to 10 times longer than traditional paint, ensuring your installation remains vibrant for years.
Guaranteed Quality: We back every installation with a 3-Year Manufacturer Guarantee, providing the long-term assurance councils require for capital assets.
Your design vision should never be limited by a catalogue. We work directly with architects and planners to translate complex concepts into precise thermoplastic reality.
Precision Manufacturing: Our in-house water-jet cutting technology allows us to replicate intricate details, logos, and complex geometries with millimetre-perfect accuracy.
Total Colour Control: We can match specific RAL colours, ensuring your project maintains perfect brand consistency or artistic fidelity.
Delivering a project in a busy public space requires strict adherence to safety and logistics. We manage the entire process in-house, mitigating risk and ensuring compliance.
Public Safety First: Our installations are finished to the highest anti-slip standards, essential for public walkways and pedestrian areas.
Expert Teams: Our in-house, DBS-checked installation teams are experienced in managing public realm sites, handling everything from surface preparation to the final heat application with minimal disruption to the community.
We've worked on decorative street projects alongside many local authorities. We can manufacture and install custom road markings and safe-zone visuals to build a complete, safe environment.
