Folding Door Systems - Overview
 |   |   | 


The Leader in Opening Glass Walls

The NanaWall® is an operable glass wall system custom designed for large openings. The elegant, precision-engineered NanaWall meets the most challenging architectural specifications. The custom made NanaWall is available in aluminum, wood or clad frames with a selection of over two hundred colors. Independent testing confirms that many NanaWall systems meet or exceed industry standards for air infiltration, water penetration, structural & thermal performance and forced entry.

Enjoy the best of both worlds: a room with a view that opens to the outdoors yet gives you the peace of mind only a weather resistant NanaWall provides.



Design Flexibility

Stacking Options

With folding systems, a multitude of stacking configurations, as well as inward or outward opening options, is available. Variations are paired panels and center pivot options. With individual panel sliding systems, hundreds of parking bay layouts are possible.

Operable Doors

With folding systems, a single acting operable door is possible. With individual panel sliding systems, a swing door can be hinged to a side jamb. With the HSW50, a single acting swing panel can be incorporated into a sliding panel.

Sill Options

Different sills are available to meet weather tightness and handicap access requirements.

Custom Sizes and Custom Layouts

All NanaWalls are custom sized to meet design criteria. Segmented curves and open corners are possible.

Glazing Area Options

Most commercially available glazing such as insulated Low-e glass can be used with a NanaWall. Custom layouts with horizontal mullions, simulated divided lites, inserts, and high bottom rails are available.

Door Material Options:

  • Aluminum: Standard and Thermally Broken. Hundreds of high quality powder coated and anodized finishes are available as well as kynar for the SL45. Thermally broken systems incorporate a polyamide reinforced nylon with glass fibers.
  • Wood: Choice of douglas fir, pine, western hemlock, meranti, oak and other selected woods
  • Aluminum Clad over Wood: Low maintenance extruded aluminum cladding on the outside and the warmth of wood on the inside.

Hardware Options

Locking choices and custodial hardware are available. Depending on configuration selected, door closers and panic devices can be used to meet ADA and exit requirements.

Performance

Many NanaWall systems have been independently tested for water penetration, air infiltration, structural integrity, thermal integrity, acoustical performance, forced entry resistance, missile impact and cyclic pressure.

NanaScreen

Introducing the premier operable insect screen system. Now customized and configured exclusively for the NanaWall.

The NanaScreen is a series of collapsible pleated screen panels riding on a single 1/4" high floor track. Each four inch wide vertical cassette can expand to 3 feet 3 inches of reinforced pleated screen. Multiple panels are connected to create a very large screened opening up to 10 feet high. NanaScreen has magnetically secured openings wherever desired.

Durable and easy to operate, the NanaWall brings the outdoors in and the NanaScreen keeps insects out!
