NW Wood 540
Slimmest Wood Framed Folding Glass Wall
- Quadruple laminated, cross-grained, narrow wood frame delivers exceptional energy efficiency
- Intersection of two folding panels is 5 11/16″ (144 mm)
- Floor supported panels capable of heights up to 9′ 10″ (3000 mm)
Slimmest Wood Framed Folding Glass Wall
NW Wood 540 provides the slimmest wood frame in the folding door industry. With a quadruple laminated cross-grained wood frame profile styled in a subtly rounded design, the intersection of two folding panels is a mere 5 11/16" (144 mm). This floor supported system offers an extremely streamlined appearance with minimal exposed hardware, creating a new level of aesthetics.
Fourth Generation Thermally Efficient Wood Framed Folding Glass Wall
These floor supported panels are capable of impressive heights up to 9' 10" (3000 mm). As a custom-built architectural solution, this system is available in inswing or outswing configurations and open corner designs.
Designed for energy efficiency and strong weather performance, the best-in-class NW Wood 540 provides exceptional protection from outside elements and delivers comfort and security when closed. As a NanaWall product, the NW Wood 540 has been put through rigorous independent performance testing for air, water, structural, and forced entry.
NW Wood 540 is built with quadruple laminated cross-grained solid premium wood to achieve the tall, slim-framed panel design of this next generation wood system. The quadruple-layer laminated wood allows for larger panel sizes, creates structural integrity, and provides long-term durability. Unlike other systems on the market, NanaWall wood framed systems are built on solid single-species wood frames and are not veneered over inferior wood, allowing for sanding and refinishing down the road as needed. NW Wood 540 is manufactured with sustainably harvested wood options that meet the international standards of PEFC.
NW Wood 540, along with the Generation 4 Folding Glass Walls by NanaWall product family, is the only floor supported folding system available that allows for larger opening sizes and flexible space management with the integration of FourFold or SixFold Panel Sets. These panel sets can move and stack either to the right, left, or center within the same track allowing the panels to be stacked in the most convenient location as needed.
Floor supported systems are ideal for applications where load-bearing capability of the header is a concern.
- Provides long-term durability and smooth operation.
- Control construction costs. Requires less header load and limits the need for extensive pre-cambering.
- Improves the likelihood of keeping existing header when retrofitting/remodeling.
To accommodate traffic flow, swing panels up to 3′ 3″ (1000 mm) can be added either to the end of a chain of panels for systems with an odd number of panels folding in one direction or hinged to the side jamb, depending on unit height and configuration.
Swing panels have been tested and passed over 500,000 cycles and can be optionally outfitted with higher kickplates for ADA compliance. Top door closers by others are possible.
Three Sill Options with High Heel Resistant Feature
NW Wood 540 has three sill options: Performance, Low Profile Saddle Sill, Low Profile Saddle Sill with UniverSILL®. Standard to all sills is removable aluminum high heel resistant sill inserts. These inserts provide ADA compliance for the Low Profile Saddle, and create a very barefoot-friendly transition.
Sill Options
Unique Gothic Arch Roller
The running carriage rolls above the water table on two stainless steel wheels with a unique Gothic arch design supported by a double row of ball bearings. With a 2-point contact of each wheel to the floor track, the system glides quietly and smoothly with less friction by providing an equal distribution of weight on the stainless steel track.
