The Grand Bhagwati- A Unit of Bhagwati Banquets & Hotels Ltd.

What outdoor wood cladding was installed at The Grand Bhagwati, Ahmedabad?

Square Foot supplied and installed approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of Ipe Tile Smooth for exterior wall cladding at The Grand Bhagwati (TGB), Ahmedabad. The project involved adapting outdoor wood tiles for a vertical wall application to create a distinctive natural wood finish suited to a commercial hospitality environment.

The solution was selected to enhance the property's exterior appearance while considering outdoor suitability, convenient installation and practical maintenance requirements.

THE PROJECT

The Grand Bhagwati (TGB) is a hospitality and banqueting property in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, operated by Bhagwati Banquets & Hotels Ltd. The property serves hospitality and event-related requirements, making its appearance and upkeep important considerations.

For this project, the objective was to introduce a natural wood aesthetic to the property's exterior walls while maintaining a practical surface finish for a busy hospitality setting.

The project required approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of wood tiles to be installed vertically rather than on a conventional horizontal floor surface. Square Foot developed the solution around the property's design requirements and the challenges associated with exterior wall installation.

THE REQUIREMENT

The Grand Bhagwati required outdoor wall cladding that would provide a distinctive look and feel while remaining practical to maintain.

The key project requirements included:

• Natural wood appearance: Create an attractive exterior finish that enhances the property's visual appeal.
• Outdoor suitability: Select a material appropriate for an exterior application and exposure to changing weather conditions.
• Convenient installation: Complete the wall cladding installation efficiently across a substantial surface area.
• Practical maintenance: Consider the cleaning and upkeep requirements of a hospitality property where food and beverage spills can occur during events.
• Consistent finish: Achieve uniform alignment and a clean appearance across the installed area.

The selected solution also needed to accommodate the technical demands of fixing wood tiles securely to exterior walls.

THE SOLUTION

Square Foot recommended Ipe outdoor wood tiles, in a smooth finish, for exterior wall cladding at The Grand Bhagwati.

Ipe was selected to provide a distinctive natural wood appearance alongside the outdoor suitability and practical maintenance considerations required for the project. The smooth finish helped establish a clean, consistent visual effect across the exterior surface.

Square Foot supplied and installed approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of Ipe Tile Smooth. Since the tiles were being installed on exterior walls rather than a conventional floor, the project required careful execution, including suitable wall preparation, secure fixing, accurate alignment and attention to finishing details.

Square Foot's experienced installation team managed the specialised wall application and completed the project with a consistent finish across the installation area.
