The Marriott Corporation Comes To NW. Washington, D.C.

Columbia Place is located at the corner of 9th Street and L streets in Northwest Washington, D.C.  The project consists of two hotels and one apartment building  Construction crews started building the two new hotels (The Courtyard by Marriott and The Residence Inn By Marriott)  during the Spring of 2016. The Courtyard By Marriott will have 357 guest rooms, and The Residence Inn  By Marriott will have over 140 rooms.   The multi-purpose facility will also presumably include, a shared meeting space, boardrooms, and three hospitality suits.   At this point, the project is expected to be completed by 2018.

Type of Work

Our team of building scientist are installing a blue skin self-adhesive air barrier for this specific project.  What is a blue skin self-adhesive air barrier? Strangely enough, a blue skin air barrier is a type of bandage that holds firmly together with a rubberized asphalt compound that’s laminated on blue film.   Finally, blue skin air barriers don’t allow air, water, and vapor moisture to pass through them.  Blue skin self-adhesive wraps stick very quickly to building material surfaces like concrete blocks, primed steel, aluminum, metal, and plywood.
