FABRICATION

Folding Glass Partition: Extruded aluminium frame and panel profiles, corner connectors and hinges sliding and folding hardware, locking hardware and handles, glass and glazing, and sound gasketing components needed to construct a folding glass wall.

1. Each unit factory pre-assembled and shipped with complete system components and installation instructions.
2. Exposed work to be carefully matched to produce continuity of line and design with all joints.
3. No raw edges are visible at joints.

ACCESSORIES

• Provide sidelights, transoms, corner posts, or single or double doors as indicated.

PART 3 EXECUTION

EXAMINATION

• Examination and Acceptance of Conditions per Section 01 70 00 and as follows:

  • Carefully examine rough openings with the Installer present, for compliance with requirements affecting Work performance.
  • Examine surfaces of openings and verify dimensions; verify rough openings are level, plumb, and square with no unevenness, bowing, or bumps on the floor; and other conditions as required by the manufacturer for readiness to receive Work.
  • Verify structural integrity of the header for deflection with live and dead loads limited to the lesser of L/720 of the span or 1/4 inch (6 mm). Provide structural support for lateral loads, and both wind load, and eccentric load when the panels are stacked open.
    NOTE: Before installing NanaWall, it is recommended that all building dead loads be applied to the header. Allow a reasonable amount of time for the dead load’s effect on the header; only then can the building’s live load be used to meet the above requirements of L/720 or 1/4 inch (6 mm). If this is not done, both dead and live loads need to be considered.

• Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
