Louvers coated with 36 custom colors provide the right environment for a children's hospital.
firmed children feel more at ease and at home. The design team for the new university
facility took this mission seriously and laid out a unique vision for the building's main
interior corridor.
The team decided to install wall décor in the main entrance to provide comfort
and inspire awe in patients. The Univ. of Iowa brought their vision of painted aluminum triangle-tube assemblies from floor to ceiling to the two companies, launching
one of the most innovative interior uses of architectural coatings.
Industrial Louvers Inc. (ILI), Delano, MN, joined the project to help bring the
university's vision to life. ILI designed a three-piece extruded-aluminum tube system
that made it possible to mount the tubing on the corridor wall and seamlessly integrate it with the rest of the hospital's interior. Each tube is composed of extruded female and male parts, with an interior spring clip that keeps the triangle shape in place
when connected. Once finished, each tube was individually snapped onto a track that
was mounted on the wall. The end design included nearly 12,000 parts that led to a
total installation of 2,780 triangle tubular assemblies.
Before the tubes were installed, each was individually painted in a specific, custom
color to match the hospital's overall aesthetic. To achieve the proper colors, ILI used
Valspar, Minneapolis, extrusion coatings. Valspar is now a part of Sherwin-Williams
Coil Coatings. In total, Valspar provided 36 custom colors that all needed to be expertly color-matched to the specific requests of the design team.
"The custom-color matching for the new University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital was a challenging, yet amazing opportunity for Valspar," said Charles
