Versatile Materials, Integrated Construction

All of our products and components are designed to withstand all types of weather conditions, from snowy mountaintops to desert lowlands.

Our wood, aluminum and clad framing options are crafted for true energy efficiency to keep the interior insulated from outside elements.

All of the glass panes in our framed wall systems can be manufactured in different thicknesses and coated with varying levels of insulating glaze options.

Depending on where you build, there are certain regulations you'll need to consider when building with a NanaWall system.

There are so many building codes to keep straight; it’ll make your head spin. Architects and builders know this reality better than anybody. One rule they need to follow is building energy codes, which grow stricter as environmentally-conscious states demand energy-efficient and healthy buildings.

“Winter on Lake Erie is brutal. Our goal was a 3-season room—we achieved an air tight 4-season room. Last year, hail and 60 mph winds left homes along this lake front with severe window damage. The NanaWalls came through without a scratch.” 

— Barbara and Ralph D, Homeowners
