Now You See It …
Now You Don't. The Disappearing Wall
It’s a wall! No, it’s a door! With the NanaWall folding and individual panel sliding glass door systems, it can be both.
NanaWalls are structural glass walls that blend the divisions between the outdoor and indoor spaces. Walls can be fully or partially opened, or completely closed. If you’re looking for a ‘’Wow!’’ effect, this will do it.
Folding systems are panels connected together in a train. When open, the panels remain in the plane of the opening and stack 90 degrees to the track. With individual panel sliding systems, each panel is supported by two carriers and moved independently into position. Panels can be stacked outside the plane of the opening and into a parking bay. The arrangement allows multiple options including swing doors and double French doors.
All NanaWall systems have been independently tested for air infiltration, water penetration, structural perfomance and forced entry.
Five of the systems are manufactured here in California; the remainder are produced in Germany by Solarlux, NanaWall’s partner company. Contact NanaWall for the name and phone number of local sales representatives and installers.
