Green technology is in its ascendancy due to a desire to clean up the planet. Consuming less natural resources and converting from brown to green energies are some of the most important topics in the political world today. Though many of us do not exist in the political world, we go to work and we come home every day. We all spend a large amount of time indoors, not in the nature that we are so desperate to protect. A company called Nanawall has created an innovative, green way to bring the nature to you, inside your home.
Using systems of large, folding glass walls, Nanawall allows its customers an unobstructed view of the outside world. Which, at any time can become part of the room should you desire the natural elements in your living space. Due to the folding nature of the Nanawall design, the outside world can either be kept at bay and viewed through the sliding or folding doors. Or, the doors can be opened up, letting the outside world inside the home.
Nanawalls products come in a variety of different framing options, including: wood, aluminum and aluminum clad. The products that Nanawall sells are NFRC/Energy Star certified, the wood framing options are made from Douglas Fir, Pine, Meranti, Spruce and American White Oak. All wood framing options are created with an eco-friendly water based pre-treatment. The aluminum frames are made from 50% recycled material, and come with an eco-friendly powder coated finish. In addition, Nanawall systems are known for their weather resistance with high marks in air infiltration and water penetration.
