Who says churches can’t be modern?

Project analysis:

Trinity Baptist Church, from the outside, looks like an average modern church. On the inside though, it has been constructed like a stadium, with huge openings that enable masses of natural light to enter the central hall of the church.

The results:

Our longest ever Vision Line partition was installed on Trinity Baptist Church. A whopping 28 meters of Vision Line partition was installed on the back of the central hall of the church. Moreover, for this project, we also used Alufire Classic Line and Classic Line Doors.

Our products improved the fire-safety of the building, and created a distinctive and impressive church interior, with lots of natural light.
