The Godfrey Hotel

Detroit, MI

The Godfrey Hotel in Detroit, Michigan, uses 7,000 SF of GreenGirt Max CMH™ over metal studs, behind ACM cladding, with mineral wool insulation. It is a hotel in Detroit, designed by Neumann Smith, built by The Christman Company, and installed by Cass Sheet Metal.

A hotel’s facade is part of its identity, and ACM reads as flat and crisp only when the surface behind it is true, because any deviation in the support telegraphs through the panels as waviness. GreenGirt Max CMH gives the ACM that even plane, its girts setting a consistent line for the panel joints while holding the cladding outside a continuous mineral wool layer. For the Godfrey’s Detroit exterior, that keeps the panelized face flat and aligned without bridging the insulation behind it.
