The Nana Wall system is great and perfect for my building but too expensive. Does anyone know an alternate that is cheaper. This will be used in a residential setting on a busy street ILO a standard sliding door. Any suggestions are helpful. Main concern is acoustics. We were looking at a commercial type alum/glass overhead door but couldn't get the STC rating out of it. I need close to 40 STC out of this assembly including glass, frame and hardware. Opening sizes 10-10w by 8-10h
Did you get a quote from Nana to do aluminum rather than wood doors? Their wood door $/sf number is pretty scary (but an excellent product), but by using the aluminum I was able to get them into a current job. Also lead time on aluminum is almost half.
As vado retro will attest, there actually ARE cool-ish cafes in Indianapolis, at least cool enough to stock Australian design mags (see vado I remembered)!
Of course tlmII your project probably won't support an Australian product...sorry.
Ouch... I recently used an STC-40 acoustic door (insulated stl w/ drop seals) on a sound stage, and the thing cost 13 grand. And it certainly wasn't glazed. I think you are going to have a hard time getting that kind of performance out of any glazed operable door system. You would only get STC-27 out of a 4" glass block wall. Good luck dude.
Need Nana Wall alternate

I doubt you'll find much out there that's any better, we just used some on a restaurant, top notch. Agree with liberty bell on aluminum.

Hey I just saw an ad for this in an Australian design magazine today at lunch:

Troll alert.
Please do not patronize any companies who think it's good business to come here, post a single time, and then never come back. Fucking parasites.
