Clean Lines Design Flexibility for Unique Applications
Performance when closed matters most
Large openings are easy to design and there are many options to choose from. When selecting a product that best fits your project, how it performs when closed is important.

All Climate Performance
NanaWall products are NFRC rated and certified for true energy efficiency in all climates.

Certified Testing Standards
NanaWall products endure the latest AAMA testing standards for air, water, structural, and forced entry.

Sustainable Design
NanaWall products contribute to multiple LEED rating systems and potentially several credit categories.

Design Windload Chart
“The NanaWall corner units fit flawlessly into our environmentally-driven home, welcoming in the natural aura of the outdoors. The glass walls connect to the landscape, providing a tremendous amount of insulation and natural light.”
- Diane Sanson
“The existing view was spectacular from outside, but the NanaWall solution brought unobstructed views indoors, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor experience when the doors are open or closed.”
- Gregory Arthur, President, ONYX Development Group
“We selected NanaWall for two reasons: openness and flexibility. The owners desired privacy for conferences, and openness for gatherings—we achieved both with the use of a folding glass wall from NanaWall.”
- Janet Bloomberg, KUBE Architecture
“HKS Architects selected NanaWall for its functionality, aesthetics, and overall quality. The SL45 system opened up the Sports Bar to the outside beauty affording patrons the experience of its surroundings and additional outdoor seating.”
- Daniel Jansen, Vice President, HKS
“Given the choice of multi-leaf partition systems, there really are few products with the proven track record to sustain the day-to-day use of an automotive retail environment—which is why we chose NanaWall.”
- Erich "Deeg" Snyder, Gensler
“NanaWall was the only functional and aesthetic solution —an opening wall that turns the fitness center into an outdoor pavilion in a matter of seconds.”
- David Dillard, Principal, D2 Architecture
“NanaWall makes it easy to change the dynamics of the space with the simple slide of a wall and the functionality and flexibility it provides to our client is invaluable.”
- Kimberly Lapinski, Tiseo Architects
"The NanaWall system takes advantage of a fine climate much of the year and accommodates groups of 100 or more children for popular story hours. The south orientation is dealt with by the use of low-e glass."
- Cathleen Malmstrom, Architectural Resources Group
“The multi-use space that we designed to adjoin two classrooms needed great visibility and flexibility, with good acoustic separation. The NanaWall not only does this, it’s easy to operate and beautiful.”
- Kimmie Etheredg, Principal, Kay Granger Elementary
“We needed a quality aluminum/glass wall to create two distinct worship areas. Usually the NanaWall remains closed, but at busy times of the year, the wall can be opened to combine the nave and chapel into one large space.”
- James Clearkin
