W. L. Hall Company was approached by CM Construction (Burnsville, MN) to collaborate on the realization of Wold's design. As a company specializing in K-12 facility projects, we understand the importance of delivering designs that are visually appealing, durable, and high quality. In selecting our trade partners, we prioritize these characteristics. Marlite paneling was the perfect choice for this high-traffic area as it is known for its durability, easy maintenance, and impact resistance.

Wold selected Marlite’s Sieva Large Panel System because rather than simply providing wood veneer or FRP panels, Marlite offers perimeter and intermediate trim options as part of their complete package offering. Wold selected flat cut maple veneer with a clear finish and black anodized aluminum trim for this application.

Most building professionals know that air leakage is one of the biggest performance failures in commercial buildings. What is less understood is this: Air leakage doesn't move in only one direction. It can move inward (infiltration) or outward (exfiltration) — and each direction carries its own set of energy, comfort, and moisture-control consequences. Even worse, rolling doors have historically been among the weakest points of the building envelope.
