I want to install a sixteen foot wide exterior operable glass wall in house. A series of four doors each four feet wide that can be completly slide to one side or folded back and out of the way.
I am aware of one company, Nana, that makes these, but they are very expensive and was wondering if anyone had any other ideas or knew of other companies that make these types of systems?
Thanks

OK Rez.
Danielluc, any reason not to fabricate your own? Either aluminum or, preferably, wood, is fine. All you've gotta have is heavy duty hardware. I'm thinking Hafele for a start.
Then there's the weatherstripping. EPDM Danish products from Resource Conservation are fantastic.
Any glass co. would be happy to provide the lites. But 4 doors x 4' wide don't cover 16'. Gotta have some overlap.
I have std 34" sliding door lites framed in our exterior hinged doors. Frame's a modified stress skin to keep the weight down. One, 4' wide, hangs inside another door (inverted U). Both doors open, it's wide enough for my tractor. With good ballbearing hinges and a robust frame you could do an over-sized bifold pair. But if it ain't concrete walls you're attached to, might be a problem. Then you're back to sliders.
Don't forget to post pictures when you're finished.
