It turns the unpredictable Illinois weather into a spectator sport from the comfort of your couch.

Here is why Nanawall is the perfect fit for the North Shore lifestyle. NanaWall is the industry leader in folding glass wall systems. Unlike standard sliding patio doors that only open half the width of the space, NanaWalls stack completely out of the way. They use a top-hung system (meaning no bumpy tracks on the floor) and panels that swing and fold like an accordion. The Evanston Climate Challenge Let’s be honest: Evanston weather is a roller coaster. We get Lake Michigan gales in April, humid heat waves in July, and polar vortexes in January.

Homeowners in Evanston are falling in love with systems. If you haven’t heard the name, you’ve definitely seen the effect: massive, floor-to-ceiling glass walls that disappear completely, turning a living room into a screened-in porch (or an open-air deck) at the turn of a handle.

If you’ve taken a walk through the historic lakefront districts of Evanston lately—be it near Lighthouse Landing or the charming streets of Southeast Evanston—you might have noticed something different about the new renovations.
