NanaWall Systems, the leader in opening glass wall technology, cordially invites you to schedule an AIA breakfast, lunch or dinner seminar entitled "Operable Glass Walls for All Buildings". Our knowledgeable Local Representative will present the information you need to confidently design originative projects
using operable glass walls. You will learn the definition of folding and sliding operable wall systems, typical usage, operation animations, material options, performance testing, and examples of unique installations. Participants will learn how the function of operable glass wall systems improves the health
safety and welfare of building occupants, supports design freedom and blurs the lines between outdoor landscape and indoor living space.
