NanaWall^® HSW65: The Individual Panel Sliding Wood Framed System

Technical Description

The HSW 65 NanaWall^® is a wood-framed individual (single panel) panel sliding system designed to provide an opening glass wall or storefront with any custom panel size. See the MaximumSize Chart. Varying panel widths are possible with additional tracks in the stacking bay for the different widths. An end-panel can be a swing-panel hinged to a side jamb.Swing-panels are single-acting but can open either inward or outward. Details are shown in the cross-section drawings. To view some of the virtually limitless possibilities, go to stacking options.

Frame, Tracks and Stacking Bays

The aluminum head jamb thickness is 2 3/4" (70 mm) and is thermally enhanced with cover plates on both sides. The wood side jamb thickness is 2 5/8" (65 mm). All pins and screws needed to assemble the frame are provided. Various sill options are available in a clear or bronze anodized finish. Also available is a no sill option with floor sockets only. The stacking bay and the upper track leading to the stacking bay are the same profile as the head jamb. The switching of panels from the closed position in the opening to the stacking bay can be achieved in different ways; To view some of the virtually limitless possibilities, go to stacking options.

Panels

The stiles and rails of sliding panels with interlocking tongue and groove profiles have a nominal thickness of 2 5/8" (65 mm).Standard woods are Douglas Fir or European Pine, either factory-primed or sealed. For interior applications, units can be factory finished from a range of possibilities.See the Wood and Finish Section. Panels are pre-assembled and can be different widths, but stacking bays will need extra tracks to accommodate the different widths.

Glazing

Glazed units can be supplied with 15/16”clear insulating safety, insulating Low-E safety glass 1/4” tempered, laminated, other high performing safety glass such as heat mirror, special tint, etc or other glass on request. See the Glazing section.

Weather Stripping

Double APTK weather stripping is provided for vertical sealing between panels and between panel and frame. See cross-section drawings. Brush seals with flexible plastic web are provided for all horizontal seals.

Sliding/Folding Hardware

For sliding, two load-bearing stainless steel uni-directional carriers are attached to the upper corners of each panel. Each carrier has one glide-roller and two horizontal counter-rotating wheels that roll in the track. Each wheel has sealed bearings and is coated with toughened Polyamide to ensure quiet running and optimal resistance to temperature extremes. Carriers can easily negotiate square or angled corners without mechanical switches. For any swing panel, an appropriate quantity of clear or dark bronze anodized hinges is provided.

Locking Hardware And Handle Options

On all swing panels and on sliding panels as needed, a two point locking hardware is provided, consisting of top and bottom locking rods operated by a 180º turn of a flat handle on the inside only. On sliding panels, the top rod interlocks the male locking receptacle with the female receptacle of the adjacent panel. The lower rod is thrown into a designated striker plate. If there are swing panels, there are the following additional hardware options.

1. Multi-point Locking. Consisting of lever handles on both sides, a Schlage compatible lockset, lockable latch, deadbolt and rods at the top and the bottom. Depression of handles with draws latch, lifting of handles engages rods and turn of key or thumbturn engages deadbolt and locks.
2. Deadbolt Lock. Consisting of push/pull handles on both sides with deadbolt(s) operated by a lock set. Turn of key or thumb turn operates lock. Lock set option of having key operation on both sides. To keep the panel closed, a door closer should be field installed.
3. No Hardware. For panic hardware to be installed by others, the main entry panel can be supplied with no locking hardware.

For a unit with no swing panels, an option to enable a unit to be opened from the outside is to provide on the sliding panel to be opened first: Two point locking hardware consisting of top and bottom Polyamide capped locking rods operated by a 180 º turn of a L-shaped handle on the inside and lockable with a thumbturn or a flat handle on the inside and lockable with a key. In both cases, there will be a flat handle on the outside that is lockable with a key. Please note that locking from the inside with a key will not meet egress requirements.
