• Specifically designed for mid-rise buildings where higher windload requirements and limits to deflection are needed.

• Designed to meet the structural capabilities required for buildings up to 20 stories tall or DP of +/-70 psf, the reinforced frame profile where the two folding panels intersect is a mere 5 1/4" (133 mm).

• The NW Reinforced 647 is independently certified and rated to meet CW-PG35.

• A fundamental benefit of this Generation 4 folding glass wall is energy efficiency. Depending on glass type selected, NW Reinforced 647 offers thermal performance values as low as “.24".

• For openings onto balconies, terraces, and rooftops, this reinforced folding glass wall system opens wide to 90% or more and is not restricted as with a traditional slider.
  

• Standard to NW Reinforced 647 is the PowerLock—a pair of locking bolts to the top and to the bottom with approximately a 1" (24 mm) throw for maximum security engagement into the head and floor track.
