58 " SOLID WOOD TRIM PROFILE 1 The nave wainscotting was STAIN GRADE QUATREFOIL PROFILE 3 PROFILE 2 PROFILE 2 PROFILE 4 PERFORATED METAL CLOVERLEAF especially difficult, recalls Stasiukaitis. " The overall detail was over eight foot tall and only occurred under the windows. This included the 43 " tall baseboard assembly as well as stile and rail acoustical panels and a transition into the window with a sill. Fortunately, these sections of wainscotting bumped out from the structural wall. That allowed us to prebuild the overall units at our facility. We used plywood ribs like a die wall to provide all the necessary offsets.

" We incorporated Red Oak hardwood and veneer as well as decorative metal screens to achieve the design intent. These units were 3' wide x 9' tall and were visible from both sides. We also had to pre-finish everything to match the new pews. Specifically, the sculpted and curved details of the quatrefoils provided a unique set of difficulties.

We were then able to sculpt the necessary shapes and profiles. Each quatrefoil was made from four pieces that were carefully assembled, sanded, and finished. " We also made six custom balcony PERFORATED METAL CLOVERLEAF PROFILE 2 PROFILE 4 PROFILE 1 brackets to be installed at the nave entry, he notes. " These were strictly decorative, so it allowed us to get creative. The brackets were 5' long x 15 " tall x 6 " wide. We used eight layers of 3/4 " MDF to build each bracket. We cut out as much of the material as we could at the inside layers to help minimize the weight. We also left a trough at the top and back of the brackets to accept out-of-wall blocking for installation. " Hord agrees that the confessional 34 " STAIN GRADE SILL PROFILE 1 STAIN GRADE FLAT PANEL screens were especially noteworthy, bringing elegance and privacy to a sacramental and sacred space. " The screens used the combination of multiple wood profiles with directional grain matches to create seamless transitions and integrations within the space. They required the incorporation of metal screens with fabric and stained quatrefoil panels. "
