To find out more about the NanaWall SL60 Folding Glass Wall—a product that is fast becoming a major differentiator for builder community developments—visit the team at NanaWall at booth #C6325 at this week’s International Builders Show in Las Vegas.
The SL60 is a premium branded folding door with an aluminum frame that is ideal for large-scale residential applications. Its floor-supported technology helps keep construction costs lower and offers product distinctiveness. There is minimal maintenance required and fewer developer callbacks due to the adjustable slender aluminum framed panels, which also provide long-term durability and continuous smooth performance. The SL60 provides clear pricing for easy project budgeting and reduced lead times, and it is available with adjustable opening widths ranging from 6′ to 15′ wide and heights up to 8′ 2″. Whether you need a wider width, a higher height, or a different system configuration than what the SL60 offers, NanaWall has you covered with a full spectrum of opening glass wall systems in aluminum, wood, or aluminum clad.
Eagle Construction of Virginia is making use of the SL60 in its long-term project plans. The company is creating twenty neighborhoods in and around the Richmond, VA area. Eagle has been a leading provider of new build homes, creative floor designs, and meticulously planned communities across the state since its 1984 founding. A collection of four-story brownstone-style residences with a more urban and mixed-use vibe, located in Henrico, northwest of Richmond, they started sales at their GreenGate development. Eagle included the NanaWall SL60 opening glass wall—which runs the length of the top floor of the brownstones and links the media room to the outside and terrace—as a crucial component in the plans.
“It’s a different enough experience from other homes in the area,” says Eagle Construction President Josh Goldschmidt. The NanaWall adds the finishing touch on the fourth story, which is accessible by elevator. It exudes an air of opulence.
The SL60’s slim profile lets in plenty of natural light and views even when closed, giving the impression of a much larger vista than there actually is. Eagle intends to incorporate the NanaWall SL60 into a large number of their townhome designs going forward because it has been such a popular customization option among townhome customers.
Eagle’s townhomes have been a huge hit, and the same plans are currently under construction in two other Eagle communities—Midtown in Blacksburg and McRae & Lacy in Richmond proper—thanks to the product’s general popularity. “GreenGate has been transformative for us,” announces Goldschmidt. To develop that product, people actively sought us out. We have improved the product and expanded its availability because of their astonishment, which is mostly attributable to the NanaWall folding doors.
Adhering to Eagle’s example, competing builders have included operable walls from other brands in their products. However, according to Goldschmidt, these off-brand folding walls lack the reliability and high quality of NanaWall and fail to express the same level of luxury. He mentions that Eagle hasn’t had any issues with the materials or execution of NanaWall. We have twenty, thirty, or forty issues if we purchase a new product, install it in a number of homes, and then it has a problem. Despite the fact that this is not the norm in the business, the components and materials we tested performed exceptionally well. They have our trust.
