“We are very proud of the designed arches. The entire structure was manufactured in Canada and sent in 500 pieces. The arches are made of GRG (glass reinforced gypsum), which is a high-quality plaster mixed with glass fiber. It took very skilled craftsman to install these and then we finished with an acoustical plaster to ensure the sound levels stay at a minimum, even with the hairdryers and conversations going on. Lastly, the arches are painted with a matte white paint that makes it easy to wipe clean.”
