Mahan Rykiel Associates – Landscape Architects chose Whitacre Greer Boardwalk clay paving brick for the Puerto Rico Convention Center Hotel, San Juan. The Boardwalk pavers, a blend of shades 52 Majestic, 53 Cimmerian and 54 Chocolate surround a roof deck pool located on the fourth floor. Belair Road Supply, Whitacre Greer’s Baltimore-area distributor assisted with the specification of the 2-1/4x9x2-1/4 (WxLxH) Boardwalk pavers.
The Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Convention Center is situated in the midst of the convention center district and next to the marina. The hotel is conveniently located ten minutes from the international airport and five minutes from historic Old San Juan.
Whitacre Greer Boardwalk pavers are dry-pressed, fired-clay products. Raw shale and clay is processed and then pressed in steel molds under 400-ton presses. The green pressed brick are then loaded on kiln cars, dried and fired in a kiln where temperatures approach 2000 degrees fahrenheit. A complete explanation of the production process is available here.
Thank you Mahan Rykiel and Belair Road Supply for thinking of Whitacre Greer clay brick pavers for this exciting project!
