Monumental Sized SystemMonumental sized panels are possible, with frame heights up to 9'6" and panel widths up to 3'7". Heavier and/or thicker glass (such as bullet-resistant laminated glazing) can be used (limited in sizes). |
|
Stacking Configurations for Special ApplicationsOptions exist for a variety of configurations: all inwardopening panels, all outward-opening panels, some panels opening in and some panels opening out, or center-pivoted panels. Unhinged paired panel options give maximum stacking flexibility. In addition, angled units of 90° and 135° or segmented units allow designers to create large bay or "curved" openings.

Common Features for Aluminum Folding Systems
|
Complete, Coordinated Glass WallsWith the SL joining system, complete, coordinated glass walls can be provided with various folding doors and folding windows combinations, individual sliding panel system (HSW or VSW), matching French doors, transoms, side lites, and corner posts; see the Matching Windows & Doors, HSW50 NanaWall® and the VSW35 NanaWall® sections. |
|
Choice of FinishesA choice of hundreds of high quality anodized and powder coated finishes is available. For thermally broken systems, the option of different finishes on the inside and outside is available; see "Finish Options" in the General Introduction. |
|
Outstanding AppearanceEuropean 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. |
|
Design FlexibilityDesign freedom with custom sizes, thermally broken and non-thermal options, glazing choices, and monumental series for larger panels or heavier glass panes. Top hung or floor supported. Raised sill or flush sill options. A large selection of muntin layouts is offered. Horizontal mullions, SDL muntins with spacer bars, solid panels, or other custom layouts are available. |
|
Easy to Install, Complete SystemEasy to install with complete, precision built systems and pre-fitted hardware. |
|
SecureMultiple point locking that operates with a turn of a handle. The top and bottom shoots bolts between each folding pair of panels have a full one inch throw. Independent tests confirm that the locking system passes strict California forced entry testing requirements. No surface mounted flush bolts for standard units. |
|
Hardware OptionsA choice of different locking options are available depending on need. Different handle finishes are also available see "Hardware" in the General Introduction. Depending on the configuration selected, door closers can be incorporated and units can be prepared for panic devices provided by others. Custodial hardware is also available. |
|
Large Exterior Openings Are PossibleWith NanaWall® folding systems, openings can range from as few as two panels to as many as twelve panels and can be as wide as 36'. With paired panels, virtually unlimited widths are possible. |
|
Continued, Long-Term Satisfactory OperationSmooth sliding and folding operation, even when the bottom track has some dirt and sand in it. State-of-the-art hardware with ball bearing running carriages. On top hung systems, the main weight is carried by the head track. On floor mounted systems, the lower running carriage rides on top of the sill track. Variable interlocking of profiles minimizes expansion problems. Long term ease of operation with adjustment features. |
|
Multitude of Stacking ConfigurationsOver 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. |
|
NanaScreenTMThe NanaScreenTM, a series of collapsible pleated screen panels riding 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 information. |
|
Engineered, Tested Systems from a Single Source SupplierNanaWalls have been engineered and independently tested for air and water penetration resistance, structural deflection, thermal performance and forced entry. The SL60 and SL70 are NFRC certified and labeled, and have also been tested for acoustic performance. The SL72 is Miami-Dade County hurricane approved and state wide Florida approved. |
|
Versatile FunctionsVersatile 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. |
