Project
Timberlake Lodge
Grand Rapids, Minnesota
Overview
Timberlake Lodge, a destination hotel, in Grand Rapids built this 84-room, 3-story hotel with full amenities including a banquet hall, a large pool and sauna entertainment area, and full restaurant and bar.
The main reason for choosing Reward ICF’s was to accelerate the building schedule. With reducing material lead time, early occupancy was accomplished. Early occupancy, meant making money quicker for the owner.
Also by using Reward ICF’s for the interior partition walls they were able to use them as bearing walls for Hollow Core plank, experience increases in fire rating (4 hours), and demand a higher STC rating to improve guest experience.
No more staying the night and hearing the “argument” of the vacationing couple next door, or the partying of the fraternity group down the hall! ICFs are ideal for hotel and condo guest experience because of their ability to sound proof.
Challenges and Unique Install Techniques
For building the pool room ICFs were chosen for their mold resistant properties and ICF construction was able to continue through the winter without interruption.
Gable roof framing was also easily cutout and poured using Reward ICF’s and overall they were versatile enough for tall wall construction of 20’ to 54’ high.
