The louvers are finished with 36 custom colors of Valspar paint, in a soothing palette of greens and blues.

The Valley Club in Hailey, Idaho, established in 1996, has evolved into “an extraordinary haven for those seeking golfing excellence and unparalleled lifestyle amenities.” To maintain that status and develop a solution for a failing wood shake roofing system, the club chose to install metal roofing from the Natural FX Coatings palette offered by The Bryer Company.
