Grand America Hotel

This five-star hotel in the heart of Salt Lake City utilizes 84 highly detailed elaborate arches in the design. The arches are comprised of 2,800, 9+' x 10' hot-dip galvanized steel panels covered by a marble cladding. With the highest quality directive from the owner, galvanizing was chosen to protect the panels because the architect wanted to prevent any unsightly rust from eventually staining the brilliant white marble of the arches. The ease of installation and the durability of the galvanized coating has allowed the designer to leverage his expertise into incorporating galvanizing into three more large projects in the area.
