Areas of Margate Station were extremely degraded, with severe water ingress throughout the box gutter and glazing systems. The existing fibre roof slate had expired and the existing Georgian wire glazing either broken, slipped or simply missing over the years, due to wear and tear, gull nesting and ‘life expired’ waterproofing.
Working with the client, we agreed to specify Plasiax GWP, a sheet plastic more superior and 25 times stronger than glass. It’s virtually unbreakable, lightweight and weather resistant, with a 50-year warranty and little to no maintenance. We combined this with a laser etched, wire print and a stipple effect finish to create an exact atheistic match to the original Georgian wire glazing
G S Moore were honoured to be trusted with the task of drastically improving works at Margate Station, restoring it to its original state from a bygone era. Our specification to achieve this, is reflected in our choice of Del Carmen natural Spanish slates, terracotta angle ridging and a cast-iron rainwater system, bringing character back to the British Transport Police building.
