Combing an acoustically separated aluminum framing and specialized gasketing with sound-enhanced glass, NanaWall’s AcoustiFOLD is the industry’s first floor-supported folding glass wall that can achieve up to STC 45 (ranges from STC 35 to STC 45) for commercial settings and interior spaces. AcoustiFOLD is currently on display at the AIA Conference for Architecture in Las Vegas.
Spaces that require acoustic privacy often require immovable walls, but AcoustiFOLD now gives architects and designers more options. The minimal surface mounted flush sill is ADA complaint and, when installed with finished flooring, has only 15/16” of track exposed.
NanaWall will also be displaying cero, an opening glass wall with the shallowest ADA compliant flush sill in the large panel minimal sliding glass wall category, and ClimaCLEAR, the only frameless all-glass individual panel sliding system engineered for transparent weather protection, at the AIA Conference.
