Versatile 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.
Multitude of Stacking Configurations
Over 48 stacking configurations as well as inward opening, outward opening, or center pivoted options. Unhinged paired panels option for maximum stacking flexibility. 90 degrees, 135 degrees, segmented or other angled units.
Weather Resistant
SL 60 and SL 70 are engineered to provide weather resistance and high structural performance. Independent tests confirm high resistance to water penetration and air infiltration not only when new, but even after 10,000 operation cycles.
Superior Thermal Break on Aluminum Frames
Thermally broken systems incorporate polymide plastic reinforced with fibers, that provides better humidity control, acoustics, energy savings and strength. The rugged construction allows for commercial use as a folding storefront.
Outstanding Appearance
European 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.
Secure
Multiple point locking that operates with a turn of a handle. The top and bottom shoots bolts between each bi-fold pair of panels have a full one-inch throw. Independent tests confirm that the locking system easily passes even strict California forced entry testing requirements.
Continued, Long-Term Satisfactory Operation
Smooth 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.
Easy to Install, Complete System
Easy to install with complete, precision built systems and pre-fitted hardware.
Design Freedom
Design 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. True divided lites, glued on muntins, solid panels, or other custom layouts are available.
Choice of Quality Woods and Finishes
Douglas fir, western hemlock, meranti, European pine, or other selected woods. Available with furniture quality, environmentally friendly finishes for interior applications.
Choice of Finishes on Aluminum Frames
A choice of hundreds of high quality anodized, powder coated and wet finishes is available. For thermally broken systems, the option of different finishes on the inside and outside.
Hardware Options
As the internal locking hardware is compatible with other European handles and backsets, a wide selection from manufacturers such as FSB, JADO, BOUVET, etc. is available. See the Nana web site for a list with addresses and phone numbers. A choice of handles is also available to meet ADA requirements. Depending on the configuration selected, panic devices and door closers can be incorporated.
Complete, Coordinated Glass Walls
With the SOLARLUX joining system, complete, coordinated glass walls can be provided with various folding doors and folding windows combinations, matching swing entry doors, transoms, side lites, and corner posts.
The main benefits of NanaWall Folding Systems are:
- All structural loads are within the plane of the opening. No auxiliary track
or support is needed.
- Both top hung and floor mounted systems are available.
- Easy installation with complete, precision built systems and pre-fitted hardware.

Frame Materials
With NanaWalls you can choose from five different frame materials. Color charts
and wood chips are available upon request.
Extruded Aluminum:
Hundreds of anodized, standard powder coated and matte powder coated finishes
are available. Even polished chrome and metallic colors are at your disposal.
For most systems, different finishes on the inside and outside are possible.
- Standard Aluminum: NanaWalls SL35, SL45, and SL72 incorporate standard
aluminum frames. When low U-values are not an issue, these systems, with their
slim side lines and competitive prices, will answer your needs.
- Thermally Broken Aluminum: NanaWalls SL60, and SL70 offer a superior
thermal break. They incorporate a polyamide plastic reinforced with glass fibers
that provides excellent humidity control, acoustics, energy savings and strength.
Wood:
NanaWalls WD65 and WD66 are offered in a wide choice of triple laminated wood
frames. Whether douglas fir, pine, western hemlock, meranti, oak or other
selected woods, all frames are solid, kiln dried and come with matching solid
glazing stops. NanaWall Folding Systems with wood frames are either sand
sealed for staining or primed for paint.
Aluminum Clad over Wood: Maintenance free extruded aluminum cladding with
a selection of over 200 color choices on the outside and the warmth of douglas
fir, pine, western hemlock, meranti, oak or other selected woods on the inside
make the NanaWall WA67 the perfect system for the luxury home market. The wood
interior has either one or two factory-applied coatings.
Glazing and Divide Lites With NanaWalls most commercially available glazing
can be used. Standard factory installed glazing is tempered insulated glass.
Among many other types, Low-E insulated glass, single tempered or laminated
glazings are available as options. NanaWalls can be ordered unglazed as well.
In this case, you will receive the exact glass dimensions, glass stops and
gaskets for "dry glazing", along with glazing instructions.
A large selection of muntin layouts with divided lites is possible. With glued
on muntins your design options are next to limitless. Please submit your ideas
to NanaWall Systems.
