Windows inside of a worship area can be an acoustical hazard. Standing waves, echoes and bass problems are just a few of the ways large windows in a worship area create problems. Turning plain ordinary expensive windows into high performance acoustical windows is brilliant and they cost less. It does require more advance planning.
In this example the windows provide and added benefit. Now there is fixed seating in the foyer – a minor detail many churches leave out – considering the amount of time some people like to fellowship in a church foyer.

Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
Proverbs 7:2
Hope to be able to do this often.
