Clear Intentions: Integrating Operable Glass Walls for Resilient Design
NanaWall® Systems is the exclusive North American partner of Solarlux of Germany, the world leader in operable glass wall technology. For nearly twenty years, the NanaWall® vanishing glass wall system has re-defined interior and exterior space, and the boundary between them,in thousands of commercial and residential buildings. At first glance, the NanaWall® looks like a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass windows, but that's where the similarity ends. Each panel is articulated on a hidden overhead track, and the panels themselves can quickly and easily open and stow away out of sight, creating breathtaking open-air vistas.
Imagine seamlessly blending indoor environments with the natural world while achieving sustainability goals. Operable glass walls aren't just architectural elements, they're catalysts for transformation, offering design professionals a strategic advantage in pursuing LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C credits.
These innovative systems provide interiors with natural light, frame stunning views, and create direct connections to nature, elements proven to enhance occupant well-being and lifestyle. Beyond these immediate benefits, operable glass walls serve as multifunctional solutions that elevate building performance on multiple fronts: reducing energy consumption through passive design strategies, creating adaptable acoustic environments that respond to changing needs, and contributing to material transparency initiatives and healthier indoor spaces.
Through case studies and best practices, design professionals will discover how to leverage these versatile systems to create spaces that meet sustainability targets.
