Special Features of Nanawall SL25 System

In apartment settings, for example, the SL25 effectively increases apartment space, providing high-rise residents with a more functional and comfortable balcony area in which to relax, entertain, or set up patio gardens.
Noise-resistant
Sound resisting NanaWall Systems can shut out some of the inevitable noises of the busy urban environment, creating an oasis of calm when desired. The NanaWall® SL25 with 5/16” (8 mm) tempered glass tested to an STC value of 17.
Wind resistant
When shut, the wind resistant panels of the SL25 offer some protection against rain and snow. Partially or fully opened, the SL 25 allows users to enjoy sunshine, breezes and the natural environment.
Creating Comfort and Lowered Energy Costs
The flexibility of the SL25 NanaWall® also improves the overall ambience, providing more temperate interiors and reduced energy consumption.
Structural Protection
Building owners will appreciate the many structural benefits of the SL25. For example, in addition to cutting down energy costs, by protecting the building structure from the wear and tear of the elements, the NanaWall reduces deterioration – hence saving money in costly repairwork.
Design Freedom
Custom sizes - heights up to 9’0” (2750 mm) and panel widths up to 2’7” (800 mm) are possible. Units can be with a large number of panels stacking to one or both sides of an opening. Besides straight segments, open corners from 90° to 180°, as well as segmented angled turns to enclose circular areas, are possible. Stacking is generally to the inside, but for ground floor applications, stacking on the outside is possible.
Choice of Finishes
A choice of hundreds of high quality powder coated and anodized finishes is available for the aluminum frame and panel rails; see “Aluminum Finish Options” in the General Introduction.
Secure with Patented Locking Hardware
Two point locking with concealed top and bottom latches that operates by pull of a spring tensioned cable secures the first panel to be opened (US Patent No. 6,618,994). Other panels are secured by carriers at each upper corner and guides at each bottom corner. For door applications, instead of guides at each bottom corner, a special interlock between panels is used. A recessed track is also possible with this application as well as the option of operation from both sides.
Simplified Installation
With an adjustable head jamb, the SL25 System can be installed to fit into many existing openings that may not be level.
Continued, Long-Term Satisfactory Operation
Ease of operation to quickly open or close as the two carrier suspension system allows each single panel to be easily slid. State-of-the-art hardware with sealed ball bearing carriers. Long term ease of operation with adjustable head jamb.
Complete Single Sourced System
A complete, precision built system with pre-fitted hardware is supplied.
Complete Coordinated Glass Wall
With the SL25, a coordinated glass wall can be provided with SL45 matching fixed windows, transoms, and tilt-turn windows. For adjacent walls, matching folding and French doors can also be provided.
NanaScreen
The NanaScreen™, a series of collapsible pleated screen panels riding on a single track is available as an option. The system can be installed within the opening or, with extended tracks, be hidden out of view when not in use. See the Screens section for more details.
