W. L. Hall Company recently completed a major window replacement project with Diamond Lake Lutheran Church. This project was particularly gratifying because we were recommended for the work by a parishioner.

 Working directly with (and for) the church meant an additional level of complexity for us. We had multiple meetings with the facility management team to develop specific solutions tailored to address the unique challenges of the project. Several prior expansions over several years meant working with multiple, existing glazing systems and multiple surrounding construction types.

The church is located on a lovely site with great views of a nearby lake. Maintaining and expanding the visual connection to the outside became of paramount importance. This required the W. L. Hall team to focus heavily on glass sizes and sightline considerations when choosing the proper glazing solution.
