• What should be done if the finished floor level differs from the sill height?

  If the finished floor level is different from the installation requirements, appropriate landings must be constructed on both sides of the threshold with an ADA-compliant slope to ensure safe and proper operation.

• How are weep holes handled in the installation?

  For systems requiring water ratings, 3/8-inch diameter weep holes must be drilled in the sill to allow proper drainage. These should be drilled according to the specific product manual's pattern and spacing, and drain connections must be established to the outside.

• What maintenance is required for the sliding and locking hardware?

  It is recommended to check and lubricate sliding and locking hardware annually to ensure smooth operation. The tracks should be kept clean of debris, and glass panels should be cleaned regularly with mild detergent.

• Can NanaWall systems be installed in high-wind areas?

  Yes, specific models like the SL73 are impact-rated and approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ). Always consult a structural engineer and local codes to select the correct system for your wind load requirements.
