NanaWall HSW75: All Glass Single Track Sliding System

Exterior Capabilities

The HSW75 is suitable for exterior applications, accommodating varying glass thicknesses to meet design wind load requirements. Tempered glass is available in thicknesses up to 1 inch. An HSW75 unit with additional locking and 1/2" (12 mm) tempered glass, with a unit height of 8' 8", was independently tested per ASTM E330 and achieved design pressures of +/- 30 psf.

Single Track Sliding for Limitless Layout Flexibility

The HSW75 offers complete design flexibility, enabling the creation of unlimited spans of top-hung panels. These panels can navigate multiple angle changes, from 90° to 180°, with single-handed operation.

Customizable Stacking Options for Space Management

To optimize space management or address unique design challenges, stacking options and minimal parking bays can be customized to meet specific needs.

3 15/16" Continuous Rail for Outstanding Aesthetics

The HSW75 system includes a standard 3 15/16" (100 mm) continuous top and bottom horizontal rail, even on single-action sliding panels, ensuring a clean aesthetic and maximizing glass visibility. Customized rail options are available in 3/16" (5 mm) increments, ranging from 5 1/4" (133 mm) to 7 13/16" (198 mm). For ADA compliance, two bottom rail options are offered: a 10" (254 mm) bottom rail or a 4 5/8" (117 mm) chamfered bottom rail.

Intelligent Rollers for Single Hand Operation

The "intelligent" rollers and guide technology ensure easy, trouble-free single-hand operation. The rollers utilize hardened steel ball bearings, glass-fiber reinforced polyamide wheels with a memory effect, and polyamide bumpers for quiet and smooth performance.

Taller Heights and Wider Widths

Standard HSW75 sliding panels can accommodate widths up to 4' 1" (1250 mm) and heights up to 10' 6" (3200 mm). For all single/double action sliding panels, widths can be up to 3' 3" (1000 mm) and heights up to 10' 6" (3200 mm). For single/double action end panels (non-sliding), widths can be up to 3' 7" (1100 mm) and heights up to 10' 6" (3200 mm). For larger dimensions, please contact NanaWall Systems.

Added Security in an All Glass System

For enhanced security, the HSW75 can be configured with laminated glass. An optional locking feature on the top rail is available for single/double action end panels, along with a quick-release floor bolt featuring a spring-loaded security mechanism.

Increased Acoustical Buffering

The HSW75 provides a significant acoustical barrier while maintaining transparency. For systems requiring a higher level of acoustic performance, the NanaWall PrivaSee system is recommended.

Single/Double Action End Panels (Non-sliding)

End panels can be configured as single or double action panels with pivot points or offset hinges, allowing for 180° opening. These panels have passed 500,000 cycle testing per AAMA 920.

Single/Double Action Panels That Can Slide Away

The single track sliding all-glass wall system offers the option for selective panels to convert from sliding to pivoting. This allows for convenient swinging entrance/egress doors at any point within the opening to suit traffic flow requirements. Pivot panels are available as single or double action sliding panels. A pair of single or double action swing panels can be added to function similarly to French doors. Single action sliding panels have passed 500,000 cycle testing per AAMA 920.

Patented Release System Converting Single/Double Action Sliding Panels to Pivot and Vice Versa

The HSW75 features a patented release system that integrates the fixing and locking mechanisms for single/double action sliding doors. This system streamlines the conversion of a sliding panel to a pivot panel (or vice versa) into a two-step process instead of three.

Self-Activated Automatic Panel to Panel Interlock

For straight units, the automatic floor bolt is activated by simply moving panels adjacent to each other. The first panel's position triggers the wheel and ramp assembly, automatically releasing the floor bolt and securing the panel without manual intervention. No kneeling is required.

Concealed Panel to Panel Interlock

An optional concealed panel-to-panel interlock is available, activated by foot, for straight units and units with angle changes up to 12°. This interlock provides enhanced security by ensuring panels are firmly locked before engaging. For units with angle changes exceeding 12°, quick-release floor bolts with a spring-loaded security feature are available. This feature prevents unauthorized access from the exterior by deterring attempts to pry the floor bolt mechanism.

Other Locking Options

All single/double action sliding and end panels are equipped with a quick-release floor bolt with a spring-loaded security feature at the lower rail's pivot point. These can also be fitted with a mortise cylinder lock on the swing side. For added security, a crank-handle operated surface-mounted bolt can be installed on the top rail. The Tubo100 system offers a brushed stainless steel finish handle with an integrated locking mechanism and profile cylinder at hand height, eliminating the need to kneel for bottom rail locking. Where concealed interlocking is not feasible, the quick-release floor bolt with spring-loaded security feature or a mortise cylinder with SFIC adapter can be utilized.

Adjustable Eccentric Floor Sockets for Changes in Site Conditions

The HSW75 includes standard eccentric floor sockets for receiving floor bolts, offering built-in adjustability to accommodate tolerances and building settlements. A spring-loaded, dust-proof socket option is also available.

Door Closers

Appropriate overhead door closers are provided for single/double action sliding panels. Optional bottom door closers are available for single/double action end panels.

Push/Pull Handles

The HSW75 offers custom-designed brushed stainless steel door pull options with integrated bumpers to prevent metal-to-glass contact. Alternative finishes such as matte or polished brass are also available. NanaWall Systems can also prepare glass to accept door pulls provided by others to match specific project designs.

True Radius Track for Curved Units

For designs requiring curves, a true radius track is available for the HSW75. This track is constructed from a single piece of engineered metal, facilitating gentle angle changes and simplifying installation.

Reduction of Glass to Glass Contact

To minimize metal-to-metal or glass-to-glass contact, standard sliding panels are equipped with recessed polyamide bumpers on the end caps at the top and bottom of one side of the panel. Additional protection options are available by contacting NanaWall Systems.

Matching End Caps

Smooth end caps in coordinating colors are used for aesthetic appeal. The design of the end caps eliminates sharp edges on the horizontal rails. End caps include bumpers on one end of the panel. For corner panels, end caps can be mitered to match.

Finishes

Standard door rail finishes include clear anodized. Additional options include brushed anodized, dark bronze anodized, black anodized, stainless steel (polished or brushed), polished brass, and satin brass. Custom colors and standard RAL colors are also available. For enhanced corrosion resistance in exterior applications, the post assembly is available in a clear anodized finish. The standard exterior head track finish is clear anodized, with options for brushed anodized or powder coating.

Glazing

Standard glass thickness is 1/2" (12 mm) tempered or laminated. Other available glass options include thicknesses up to 1" (25 mm), which can be laminated or tempered. Glass thickness is determined by customer requirements, panel size, and local code regulations. Standard rail thicknesses of 1 7/16" (36 mm) for 1/2" (12 mm) glass will be adjusted for other glass thicknesses. All vertical glass edges are polished. Glass is clamp-installed to ensure even weight distribution and reduce stress. An optional white interlayer can be added for closed panels to serve as a whiteboard. Additional glazing options include low-iron or decorative glass, acrylic, wood, or stainless steel mesh inserts.

Brush Seals

Upper horizontal continuous door rails are standard with an adjustable sealing brush on the exterior. Brush seals can be added to both sides, and spring-loaded brushes are available for the bottom rail.

Optional Sidelites, Fixed Panels, All Glass Folding or Center Pivot Systems

Coordinating fixed panels and sidelites are available to complete the design. Frameless center pivot folding CSW75 and folding FSW75 systems can also be integrated as mix-and-match solutions.

Design Windload Chart - HSW75 with Additional Locking

This chart applies to both positive and negative design pressures in accordance with Allowable Stress Design (ASD) Design Pressures. It is derived from glass strength and deflection comparative analysis for a test panel height of 8' 4". Please note that some jurisdictions may limit the use of these charts or may not accept them. Design pressures and/or sizes may be restricted to tested parameters. This chart is applicable only for units with referenced NanaWall supplied locking. If project design pressures are calculated using Ultimate Design Wind Speed (ULT), multiply these pressures by 0.6 to obtain equivalent ASD design pressures.
