WD65 - Wood Framed System for Special ApplicationsGeneral Description
The WD65 is the commercial folding/paired-panel wood framed system for special applications designed to provide an opening glass wall or storefront for unlimited widths; It is available in various configurations utilizing one to twelve panels or more with unhinged pairs of panels; see elevation drawings. The option exists for a swing entry/exit panel(s); note, however, the further panel size constraints with a swing panel not hinged to a side jamb. Units can be either all inward-opening, all outward-opening, a combination of some panels opening inward and others opening outward, or center pivoted.
Special Features of Nanawall WD65 System
Acoustical Performance
The WD65 system has been tested by an independent acoustic lab for acoustical performance. The WD65 with STC 38 laminated glass achieved STC and Rw values of 36.
Stacking Configurations for Special Applications
In addition to all inward-opening panels or all outwardopening panels, options for combinations and centerpivoted panels are also available. Unhinged paired panel options are offered for maximum stacking flexibility. In addition to 90° or 135°, segmented units are possible to create large bay or "curved" openings.
Monumental Sized Systems
The system features monumental-sized panels made of cross-grained, solid wood construction; panel frame heights up to 10' and panel widths up to 3'7" are possible. Heavier and/or thicker glass, such as bulletresistant laminated glazing, can also be used (note that sizes will be restricted with heavier glass)
Common Features of Nanawall Wood Folding System

Secure
Multiple point locking that operates with a turn of a handle. The top and bottom shoots bolts between each bi-fold pair of panels have a full one inch throw. Independent tests confirm that the locking system easily passes even strict California forced entry testing requirements. No surface mounted flush bolts for standard units.
Versatile Functions
Versatile functions with swing entry/exit panel(s) option and with flexibility to fully or partially open. Ease of operation to quickly open or close wide openings.
Multitude of Stacking Configurations
Over fifty stacking configurations as well as inward opening, outward opening, or center pivoted options. Unhinged paired panels option for maximum stacking flexibility and larger opening walls. 90°, 135°, segmented or other angled units.
Outstanding Appearance
European styling and handsome, sleek lines allow glass areas to be maximized. All folding and locking hardware is integrated into the profiles for a clean look and for narrow stacking. No surface mounted hinges.
Continued, Long-Term Satisfactory Operation
On top hung systems the main weight is a carried by the head track, so smooth sliding and folding operations are assured even when some dirt or debris might collect in the bottom track. State-of-the-art hardware is used with patented, sealed, ball bearing running carriages. Longterm ease of operation is also assured with compensation and adjustment features. On floor mounted systems, the lower running carriage rides on top of the sill track; this provides long-term ease of operation with adjustment features.
