1 INTRODUCTION SL82 The Structurally Glazed Folding System with Exterior All Glass Aesthetic The SL82 is a thermally broken aluminum folding panel system that presents a stunning almost uninterrupted exterior glass façade combined with weather resistance and overall superior performance. Exterior layered glass overlapping the slim surrounding aluminum profile closely achieves the highly aesthetic quality of an edge-to-edge allglass system. It is designed to provide an opening glass wall or storefront up to 39 (12 m) wide (see Maximum Size Chart). The SL 82 is available in various configurations utilizing one to twelve panels (see elevation drawings). An option for swing entry/egress panel(s) is available. Units can only be inward opening (see details in the section drawings). Structural Glazing and Slim Profile Provides a Stunning Glass Façade When the Unit is Closed The SL82 is distinguished by its high design quality, harmonious, svelte appearance, minimalist accents and innovative technology. Winner of Two Prestigious Design Awards The NanaWall SL82 Structurally Glazed Folding Wall System in the winner of the coveted 2010 reddot design award and the if product design award. The SL82 opens completely new perspectives for the world of modern architecture. High Weather Resistance The system is engineered to provide high weather resistance and structural performance. Three levels of seals provide effective protection from wind pressure and driving rain. Excellent independent testing results were achieved per AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 fenestration standards. See the Performance and Testing Results section for more details. Superior Thermal Performance Superior U-Values are achieved with a specially designed web of polyamide plastic reinforced with glass fibers thermal break in panel and frame profiles that are 3 1/8 (80 mm) thick. Multi-chamber profiles with 1 3/16 (30 mm) wide quadruple thermal break and cavities can accommodate either double or triple insulated glass provides the best heat insulation. Superior Acoustical Performance The same thermal break design that provides a superior thermal performance also provides superior acoustical performance. Floor Supported System This system is ideal for applications where load-bearing capability of the header is a concern. The system s main weight is carried by the floor track. The upper track is merely a guide. Width/Height Adjustments Even after installation, the hinges on the SL82 are adjustable in both vertical and horizontal directions. The folding glass doors can easily be height adjusted by about 5/16 (8 mm) which is important if building settling occurs. Stainless steel hinge pins and screws are used. Sill Options Besides the higher weather performance sill, a thermally broken recessed flush sill, low profile saddle sill and thermally broken intermediate sill (as shown in section drawings) are available as an option in a clear or dark bronze anodized finish. 1

2 INTRODUCTION SL82 Choice of Finishes for Frame and Panels In addition to the choices from the NanaWall Powder Coating Finish Chart, the full range of RAL high gloss and matte powder coatings are available as well as anodized finishes. Glazing Standard units supplied are either glazed with 1 3/16 (30 mm) double insulated glass or 1 1/2 (38 mm) triple insulated clear safety, Low-E safety, other high performing safety glass or other glass and/or thickness available on request. See Glazing in the General Introduction section for other glass thickness possible. Weatherstripping All weather stripping (consisting of EPDM or brush seals) is provided for sealing between panels and between panels and frames (see section drawings). Sliding/Folding Hardware For sliding and folding pair of panels, a floor-supported two roller lower running carriage is attached between each pair of panels. For the end pair of folding panels in a train of pairs of folding panels, a different floor-supported two roller running carriage is attached at the end of the unattached panel. An upper running carriage is attached as a guide at the same panel locations as the lower running carriage (see the section drawings). The lower running carriage is constructed to ensure even distribution of pressure on both rollers. Rollers are stainless steel and have sealed bearings to ensure easy, quiet and smooth operation as well as resistance to extreme temperature. Two to six clear or dark bronze anodized hinges per connection are provided to connect panels together and to connect panels to the frame. Locking Hardware For each pair of folding panels (except for the pair to be opened first in a unit with no swing panel) provided is a two point locking hardware consisting of top and bottom locking rods operated by a 180 turn of a handle on the inside only with a stroke of 15/16 (24 mm). If there is a swing panel, there is the following hardware option on the main entry panel: Multi-point Locking: Consisting of lever handles on both sides, a lockset, lockable latch, deadbolt and rods at the top and the bottom. After turn of key or thumb turn, depression of handles withdraws latch, lifting of handles engages rods and turn of key or thumb turn engages deadbolt and locks. Available with profile cylinder or with SFIC adapter. For a unit with no swing panel, on the folding pair to be opened first, provided is two point locking hardware consisting of top and bottom polyamide capped locking rods operated by a 180 turn of an L-shaped handle and a flat handle on the outside. Lockable with a lockset. Turn of key or thumb turn operates lock. For a unit where locking/handles inside only is desired, for examples in window applications, on all swing panels or pair of folding panels to be opened first, provided is two point locking with a handle on the inside only. Handle Options Matching stainless steel lever, flat and L-shaped handles are available in brushed satin or black titanium finishes. 2

7 RELATIONSHIP OF FRAME, PANEL AND GLASS DAYLIGHT OPENING SIZES SL82 Dimensions in millimeters unless noted. Calculation applies to the standard stiles and rails. Glass dimensions of all panels in a unit are equal. Nominal Panel Height (PH) is defined as Glass Daylight Opening Height = Glass Daylight Opening Height + 5 3/16. Nominal Panel Width (PW) is defined as Glass Daylight Opening Width = Glass Daylight Opening Width + 5 3/16. Panel Height is as seen from the inside on an inward opening unit and is as seen from the outside on an outward opening unit. Please note that with the overlap of the head jamb and the sill with the panel, the Clear Opening Height will not be the same as the Panel Height. See Cross-Section Details of both stiles of each panel to determine actual Panel Width. With astragals, overlapping, etc., the actual Panel Width not only varies with position of panel in a configuration, but the inside and outside surface widths of each stile may be different. Running posts and astragals are not included in Panel Width dimensions. For each configuration, the Frame Width (FW) is the sum of the nominal Panel Width (PW) x the number of panels + a number (N) which is the sum of the side jamb dimensions and dimensions of space between panels in excess of the nominal Panel Width as shown in the Cross-Section Details. Frame Height (FH) SL82 System Higher Weather Performance Sill: Frame Height = Panel Height (5 11/16 ) = Clear Opening Height (7 5/8 ) Flush Sill / Low Profile Saddle Sill: Frame Height = Panel Height (5 11/16 ) = Clear Opening Height (6 5/8 ) Frame Widths for Different Configurations with Majority of Panels Folding to Right (and their Mirror Image Configurations with Majority of Panels Folding to Left). See Maximum Size Charts for size limits. These numbers can be used as a guideline only. Contact NanaWall for the exact calculations for a particular unit. Please note that widths for units with angle turns will be different.
