Product catalog summary

Systems and Common Features
NanaWall Systems offers nine aluminum framed folding door systems designed for specific applications, including the NW Aluminum 640, NW Acoustical 645, NW Reinforced 647, NW Aluminum 840, NW Reinforced 847, SL60, SL45, SL70, and SL73. These systems are engineered for large exterior openings, with options for up to twelve panels and widths up to 43 feet. The Generation 4 Folding Glass Wall enhances performance with features like effortless operation and weather security.

Comparison of Different Aluminum Systems
Each system has unique features for various applications. For example, the NW Aluminum 640 is the slimmest, while the SL73 is hurricane resistant. Systems are tested for air and water penetration, structural deflection, thermal, and acoustical performance, offering a slim profile and secure single-hand operation.

Suggested Selection Procedure
The selection process involves choosing a system based on project needs, determining frame dimensions, selecting configurations, and choosing finishes and hardware options. Steps include selecting the number of panels, opening direction, sill and mullion options, and additional features like segmented curves or window door combinations.

Standard Configurations
Over fifty stacking configurations are available, including inward and outward opening options. Systems can accommodate unhinged paired panels and various angles, providing design flexibility.

Design Flexibility and Finishes
Custom sizes, thermally broken options, and a variety of finishes are available. The systems offer design freedom with different muntin layouts and glass stop options for a classic steel look. Hardware options include different locking systems and handle finishes.

Installation and Maintenance
Systems are easy to install with precision-built components and pre-fitted hardware, designed for long-term operation with features like smooth sliding and folding, even with dirt in the track. They are engineered for durability and ease of use.

Specifications and Measurements
The document outlines specifications for the SL60 model, with a frame height of 7' 11" and width of 10'. A configuration with at least four panels is necessary for this height, with a chosen configuration of 1L3R fitting within size limits.

Panel and Glass Dimensions
The nominal panel width is 25.6" or 2' 1 5/8", and the glass width is 1' 10 1/16". With a raised sill, the panel height is 7' 4 1/2", and the glass height is 7' 15/16".

Additional Possibilities
1. Unhinged Paired Panels: Flexibility in folding direction with running carriages at corners.
2. FoldFlat Against Adjacent Wall: Panels can fold flat against a wall, requiring specific installation methods.
3. Open Corner Configurations: Allows for 90° or 135° angle turns, creating unique openings without corner posts.
4. Segmented Curve Units: Possible with SL45 and SL70 systems, allowing for changes in direction or angle, with limitations in weather resistance and structural load.

Installation Notes
For FoldFlat configurations, the unit must be installed flush with the outermost projection of the adjacent wall, with specific methods for attaching the frame. Specifications and details are subject to change without notice.

Overview
The document provides detailed information on configurations and specifications of NanaWall Systems' aluminum folding systems, including models and configurations for both inward and outward opening panels, as well as combinations of folding doors and windows.

Configurations
The document outlines several configurations for aluminum folding systems, highlighting flexibility by adding multiple pairs of panels to either side and flipping the opening direction.

Specifications
Specifications are subject to change without notice. The document notes that the width of inward opening panels can differ from outward opening panels, and the folding door/window combination can transform spaces like kitchens into indoor/outdoor areas, with certain limitations regarding weather resistance and handle placement.

Limitations
The document specifies limitations for the folding door/window combination, such as compatibility with certain systems and configurations, weather resistance issues at the lower corner where the window meets the door, and handle height differences.

Recommendations
For custom configurations, the document encourages submitting ideas and sketches to NanaWall Systems for evaluation. It advises that for outward opening units, operators need to engage/disengage the window swing panel from the exterior.

System Compatibility
The document lists compatible systems for various configurations, including NW Aluminum 640, NW Aluminum 840, SL45, SL60, and SL70, with specific sill options like flush, standard, or raised sills.
