Design & Display Structures slots into Marlowe Arcade - GRP fascia cladding
Bespoke stone effect GRP cladding, crafted by UK experts Design & Display Structures, is drawing the customers in at Canterbury's Marlowe Arcade.
Home to the world famous Canterbury Cathedral, the city centre has a wealth of historical architecture. The realistic features of the GRP cladding blend seamlessly with these stunning surroundings and, with quicker erection times than heavyweight alternatives, installation time and costs were kept to a minimum.
Under the six month contract, Design & Display Structures provided a comprehensive design, manufacture and install package for Kier South East - using state of the art, eco friendly GRP manufacturing techniques.
Located within the city’s bustling shopping area, the product’s proven durability guarantees that, like its surroundings, it will stand the test of time.
The decorative cladding has created the perfect look for the Arcade’s main entrance, certain to entice residents and tourists alike. Existing curtain walling, spanning the building’s elevations, was also capped off with soffit surrounds.
By delivering on a just in time basis and installing at night, Design & Display Structures also minimised disruption to local traders and significantly reduced the client’s scaffold and labour costs.
Such efficiency and cost rewards are simply not available with heavyweight materials. Their extra weight and cumbersome nature can often make installation and costly and time consuming process, especially where existing buildings require structural alterations to hold the weight.
Managing Director Allan Curtis said: “Short times, flexibility of design and quick installation make our products a true alternative to heavyweight materials.”
“The flexible nature of our manufacturing process allows us the freedom to work closely with our clients to help them meet their time and budget constraints.”
