Custom Configurations Tailored to Your Project
Explore NanaWall configuration types, opening styles, and custom design solutions to find the right fit for your project.
With more than 20 glass wall systems and extensive hardware and configuration options, NanaWall can be tailored to a wide range of residential and commercial spaces, indoors and out.
How Glass Walls Open
Understand how folding, sliding, stacking, and window-door systems operate to help identify the right opening style for your project.
Folding
Each panel of the glass wall system is connected together along a single track and folds unto itself to create wide, unobstructed openings.
Folding Glass Doors
Sliding
Ultra-thin frames combined with NanaWall’s largest panel offering create maximum sightlines and light-filled spaces.
Sliding Glass Doors
Stacking
The glass wall system is made of individual panels, each running along a single track and providing effortless design flexibility.
Stacking Glass Doors
Window-door Combination
Seamless glass door and pass-through window. Configurable with either folding or stacking glass walls.
Window Door CombinationNanaWall Opening Solutions
Explore customized conceptual drawings that illustrate NanaWall configuration types, opening conditions, and design solutions.
Standard
Shows the most common way glass wall panels align across a straight opening. Panels operate in a continuous line without special conditions such as corner openings, wall pockets, or intersections.
View Compatible Systems
FourFold or SixFold Panel Sets
Uses four or six connected folding panels operating along a single track. Panels move and stack to the right, left, or center, allowing flexible positioning based on layout and access needs.
View Compatible Systems
Window-Door Combination
Integrates windows and glass doors within the same opening or wall plane, enabling independent control of daylight, ventilation, and entry. Configurable with either folding or stacking glass walls.
View Compatible Systems
Segmented
Arranges operable glass wall panels across multiple angled or curved segments, allowing the system to follow architectural geometry beyond a straight line.
View Compatible Systems
FoldFlat
Enables panels to rotate and fold flat against the adjacent wall when open. Panels pivot up to 180 degrees, forming a compact stack that keeps the opening clear and minimizes how far the stacked panels extend from the wall.
View Compatible Systems
Cornerless (Open Corner)
Removes the vertical corner post where two operable glass walls meet at 90°, allowing panels to open in multiple directions and create a fully unobstructed corner opening.
View Compatible Systems
T-Intersection Configuration
Connects two operable glass walls at a 90° junction, forming a T-shaped layout that enables multi-directional opening and flexible space planning.
View Compatible Systems
Inward/Outward Combination
Allows some panels within the same opening to fold inward while others fold outward, supporting exterior clearance, circulation paths, and furniture placement based on site conditions and design needs.
View Compatible Systems
Parking Bay Configuration
Panels park into a designated side bay at a 90° angle, keeping the opening clear while organizing the stacked panels within a compact adjacent area.
View Compatible Systems
Pocketing
Allows glass door panels to slide fully into a concealed wall pocket, creating a completely unobstructed opening and maximizing clear opening width.
View Compatible Systems
Enclosed Stack
Layouts allow glass wall panels to slide and stack into a dedicated enclosed bay adjacent to the opening. Configurable with either folding or stacking glass walls.
View Compatible Systems
RemoteSTACK®
Panels move along the track and park in a designated area away from the entrance, creating completely clear openings.
View Compatible Systems
Specialty
Addresses architectural conditions that fall outside standard layouts, using custom engineering to accommodate complex geometry, structural constraints, or project-specific design requirements.

| * Important Considerations: Maximum panel sizes and opening widths vary by system, configuration, structural conditions, glazing, wind load requirements, and project-specific engineering considerations (Installation Considerations, rough opening, etc.). Because every NanaWall system is custom designed, final dimensions and performance capabilities should be reviewed with our dedicated NanaWall Team. | ||||
See how NanaWall configurations are used across residential and commercial projects.
Yes. Many NanaWall glass wall systems can include an integrated swing door, sometimes referred to as a “man door,” for convenient everyday access without opening the entire system. Integrated swing doors are designed to blend with surrounding glass wall panels while supporting flexible residential and commercial applications.
Common applications:
- Residential patio access
- Restaurants and hospitality spaces
- Conference rooms and offices
- Retail storefronts
Swing door availability depends on the selected system, configuration, opening size, and project requirements.
Yes. Many NanaWall glass wall systems can be configured to open either to the interior (inswing) or exterior (outswing), depending on the selected system, configuration, available space, and project requirements.
Interior-opening configurations are often preferred for patios, decks, balconies, and other spaces where maximizing outdoor areas is important. Exterior-opening configurations may help maximize interior floor space and furniture flexibility.
Opening direction can also depend on factors such as traffic flow, weather exposure, and building requirements. Because every NanaWall system is custom designed, inswing and outswing configurations should be reviewed during the design process.
Yes. NanaWall configurations are highly customizable and can support a wide range of residential and commercial project needs. Depending on the selected system, options may include different panel counts, opening directions, open corner designs, pocketing systems, integrated swing doors, and inward or outward opening panels.
Configurations can also be tailored based on opening size, sill type, glazing options, performance requirements, and spatial considerations.
Explore custom panel layouts and opening styles with the NanaWall 3D Configurator.
Yes. Select NanaWall folding glass wall systems can support configurations where a swing door opens outward while adjacent panels stack inward within the same opening. Currently, this configuration is supported by the WD65 and SL45 systems.
This flexibility can help support specific design goals, traffic flow, space planning, and indoor-outdoor functionality. Because every NanaWall system is custom designed, opening directions and panel stacking configurations should be reviewed during the design and configuration process with your NanaWall representative.
The number of panels needed for a NanaWall glass wall system depends on the selected system, configuration, and overall opening width. Because NanaWall systems are custom designed, panel counts can vary based on design goals.
For example, larger openings may use additional narrower panels or FourFold and SixFold panel sets to support wider spans and flexible stacking configurations. Some NanaWall systems can also accommodate virtually unlimited opening widths through custom configurations.
The NanaWall 3D Configurator can help visualize panel layouts, stacking options, and opening configurations based on your project dimensions.
NanaWall does not manufacture or supply insect screens directly. However, many NanaWall folding and sliding glass wall systems are compatible with retractable insect screen solutions offered by third-party screen manufacturers.
The NanaWall Retractable Screens page helps customers explore third-party retractable insect and shade screen manufacturers that offer solutions compatible with select NanaWall systems.
Ordering and installation are handled directly through each screen manufacturer’s website.
