The Alanik Hotel, now known as Opal Sol, is a 15-story oceanfront hotel located on Clearwater Beach. Designed by Nichols Architects and built by Moss & Associates, the development includes 248 guest rooms, a nine-level parking garage, restaurants, a pool deck, meeting spaces, and a pedestrian bridge connecting it to the neighboring Opal Sands Resort.
The project features multiple architectural metal systems fabricated by ES Metals.
ES Metals fabricated and supplied 16,300 square feet of architectural metal products for the project, including:
- Vision barrier fins: Installed around mechanical equipment to screen the equipment from view.
- Perforated aluminum panels: Used on the parking garage facade as an architectural screening system.
- Mechanical louvers: Integrated into the building to provide ventilation for mechanical areas.
These systems serve different functions while maintaining a consistent architectural appearance across the building.
