Internationally inspired, The Global Ambassador hotel in Phoenix, Arizona features 141 luxurious rooms, signature restaurants, including a large rooftop restaurant overlooking Camelback Mountain as well as unique retail and wellness amenities. The hotel aims to offer a memorable hospitality experience for the well-traveled set. The design team selected Senergy’s Insulated Masonry Veneer System for the building exterior. The state-of-the-art wall system seamlessly incorporates continuous insulation and air/water-resistive barrier for maximum energy efficiency and year-round temperature comfort within the building. The system also features SikaWall-1000 MaxGrip Veneer Adhesive. The high strength setting bed mortar was used to adhere the thin brick veneer without mechanical fasteners which kept the underlying continuous insulation and air/water-resistive barrier layers intact, eliminating the risk of thermal bridging.
