How HSW60 Helped This Restaurant Create an Unforgettable Dining Experience
By NanaWall Systems, August 30, 2017
When Kam Talebi, the owner of what is now Union Restaurant set out to create the ultimate indoor/outdoor rooftop dining experience in Minneapolis, Minnesota he knew there would be challenges. Minneapolis is known for its harsh midwestern winters and muggy summers, so finding a solution that would suit the breadth of Minneapolis climate conditions required some creative thought.
Talebi chose to retrofit the existing space by adding a retractable roof and a NanaWall HSW single track sliding glass system to allow for maximum adaptability. The roof and door system remain open whenever possible, but are quickly closed any time the weather turns too cold.

“At the touch of a button, [the retractable roof] takes under five minutes to open or close the motorized structure, and NanaWall doors seal off the inside dining room from the elements. When it’s open, they [stack] around the side of the building and out of the way,” states Libart retractable roof manufacturer.
Our HSW system provides formidable insulation, keeping the warmth from the restaurant’s heating system in, and sealing the cold out. NanaWall’s superior engineering not only ensures unsurpassed durability and energy efficiency in all-weather environments but carries with it the intrinsic “wow factor” necessary to make the dining experience at Union Restaurant truly unforgettable.
