Rough cost for NanaWall?

8 years ago

I'm in the very beginning stages of planning a major remodel and I'm wondering how using a "wall of windows" along the back of my house will affect the total cost of the project. I know I can ask for a quote from the various vendors directly but I'm not even totally sure what numbers to input. Basically I'm looking at about 30 foot length of windows. Love the look of NanaWall or similar. Is that like $20K? Or like $100K? I honestly have no clue.

I did a little more digging and learned a lot about the products and the company. Nanawall is basically German Components, assembled in the USA. The cost runs $1k+ per foot and is determined by opening size, number of leaves and type of door (I would say typical for them is $1300 per foot). Panoramic door is about half the price and I suspect not quite as good. You need to decide if the benefit of Nanawall is worth it. Other companies are now starting to produce these doors and costs seem to be declining as a result. Marvin's Scenic Window looks to be a good product (up there with Nanawall?) and is slightly cheaper, running about $900 a foot. Hope this helps

Using rough walnut posts in house
Q
Comments (2)
Most building departments require structural wood of any kind to be graded. Lumber grading can be paid for, most local mills will have some resources. That you plan on using the walnut as posts is a benefit,,,wood in vertical compression is very strong. Check with the local building department for any requirements.

Can anyone give me a rough estimate on cost to have this brick grillin
Q
Comments (11)
First, you have to put in concrete base and foundation for the entire concept. The cost of concrete has skyrocketed here in the last couple years. So call a local cement company and ask for pricing per sq ft with the depth you need for your area. My design recommendation is to do a stamped or stained concrete not brick for floor of patio. Different textures create visual interest and a smoother overall surface makes patio furniture sit more level. The picture u sent looks like a slate type tile but slate isn't most durable material since it has layers and can chip and peel especially if u live in freeze/thaw type weather. Just some things to consider. If you built this outdoor kitchen patio similar to picture here with the appliances you need to budget around $8,000-$15,000 depending on quality of materials and appliances selected. Hope this info is helpful. The "look" in that picture is very lovely. Good luck.

Rough tile edge. Am I being too picky?
Q
Comments (32)
I have some difficulty with some of the pro comments to this homeowner and the "dilemma" question she/he has presented. The client ALWAYS should have a GC who consults w/the client regarding decisions, REGARDLESS if any designer's charges are involved/consulted. A client DESERVES a GC who thinks ahead w/questions for the client and communicates choices vs making decisions for the client. Keep in mind "industry standard" (in my area) is paying your GC around 20-25% over materials and labor.... so asking your client if maybe a new drain cover for 15$ is not a big deal/big cost or require a third party to ask the question. Ridiculous. Bull trim is also a cheap item, greatly improves the "finished" look, but takes a bit more finesse (i.e. time/labor for GC to pay the tiler) to install and requires the GC to "think" a bit more in spec'g a job to the sub. Sounds to me like your GC is all about speed and not the details. SO this "licensed" GC's overlooking small details that greatly change the clients value of end product/investment and then telling the client they are too picky? RIDICULOUS; thumbs down on this GC. My experience w/ "credible" "reputable" remodeling companies.... you need to be very involved and let them know from the beginning you expect them to come to you for all decisions "not specified"; and get it in writing so you can decide if you want to pay the "extra 15$ for new drain cover" etc. Cutting corners to skip the details is the difference between "meeting subjective industry standards" and "exceeding/improving industry standards".

NanaWall vs Panoramic Door--- Help! :)
Q
Comments (8)
Both are great products, Depending on situation, Nanawall is top of the line, No Compromise, You get exactly what you pay for. I'm not 100% positive but I don't think all Panoramic models meet title 24 codes, I know there is 1 thermo clad unit from Panoramic that does. Be sure to ck when weighing your decision.

The cost of the Nana Wall system is part of a larger cost picture...like how do you support the loads above AND hang the door from it? There are many different manufacturers now making accordion style exterior doors. The flat cost of of the wall system delivered is expensive. The four person crew to install it over the course of a week is a substantial add on.

Nanawall has their product that is now good enough for Passiv Haus. It would be nice to know how close your product can get to that performance? Can you provide triple glazing, or improved sealing if a homeowner desired it (and it provided a meaningful benefit)

Just following up on this thread. We are looking at using Nanowall for a 7' section and we need a folding door that folds "all the way back". Nanowall offers a "Foldback" door. Are there any other companies out there that offers a "foldback" door?

If you live in Washington Oregon Montana you will get a rep that will rip you off and installers that don’t know what they are doing so I would look for another product!

As far as cost goes, we got a 4 panel fold-flat nanawall at it was $10k + installation. I'm going to tend to agree with HU-576627288... Our installer did a piss-poor job. They put these solarflex advertisements screwed into the top of the nanawall and the screws stuck up too high and damaged the nanawall. Additionally, one of our nanawalls is VERY hard to close -- likely an issue with the track. Additionally, the device that they use to keep the nanawall from closing in the wind is really dumb... It would take someone 7 foot tall to be able to release it. We replaced it with a magnetic solution which holds well enough, but you can just pull the door closed rather than needing to release a mechanism.

No maintenance. Very simple to take care of.
I live in central Ohio, special certified Nanawall installers came down from Cleveland (I think), installation was $$$ but considering the cost of the Nanawall, essential. I paid around $12000+ for the wall and maybe close to $3000 for installation. New construction. Today, Nov 2020, it’s still like new.
I have a second home in CT and here installed a JeldWen folding glass wall - NO Comparison. Jeld-Wen sucks (product, installation, customer service). If you are going to spend that kind of money stick with Nanawall.
