Sisal corridors, mid-scale hotel chain
Twisted hemp sisal across 1,800 m² of corridor walls in five properties. One dye lot per property.
At 1,800 m² across five properties, this was a logistics exercise as much as a material specification. The chain's procurement team required that each property receive its own dye lot — a professional decision that prevents visible variation between a replacement panel and surrounding walls if repairs are needed years later. We produced five separate runs with matched but batch-separated production, documented with individual lot certificates.
SI-118's twisted hemp construction is the right material for hotel corridors: the chunky rope texture disguises scuffs and contact marks that accumulate from housekeeping carts and luggage. Unlike fine-weave sisal or grasscloth, the thick fiber bundles absorb and hide surface abrasion rather than showing it. This is a durability consideration that matters over a three-to-five-year renovation cycle.
Installation at five simultaneous sites required coordinating five separate specialty crews. We supplied technical installation sheets in English and Spanish for each location, and had one of our production staff available by phone during the first day of each install. The chain's project manager reported that all five properties installed on schedule, which is the outcome that justifies the coordination overhead on multi-site projects.
