Centor Retractable Screens
Centor has solved the problem of screening large openings with its horizontal retractable insect screen system. Openings as wide as 7.6 m can now be effectively and unobtrusively screened, with the robust system operating with just the touch of a fingertip.
The Centor screen completely retracts into the door jamb when not in use. The mesh is sheer, and there are no grills or horizontal bars to detract from the view. The screen is barely noticeable when in use, and completely disappears when you don’t need it.
The screens were designed specifically for use with folding doors with the aim of preserving the vistas created by a bi-folding opening.

The screen can be opened and shut from any height on the stile, so even small children can operate it. With no crude spring loading to fight against, the screen remains firmly in any chosen position across the opening. This is thanks to Centor’s patent pending Load Balancing Technology™.
Centor designed its screens specifically to solve the problem of protecting the large-scale openings created by its folding door systems. With the ability to screen openings up to 9m wide and 3.2m tall, there are very few openings Centor can’t protect from insects.
Retractable Screens enable you to leave your doors open more often, increasing ventilation and reducing air-conditioner use.
After final manufacture dimensions are determined (following site measure or agreed with the builder) the screen system is manufactured by Centor to the precise measurements and pre-cabled. The Centor screen system is supplied to us in kit form which is then delivered to site and reassembled and fitted by us to our door system. Since the Centor Screens are fitted to the interior, installation of the screen is usually done in conjunction with the fitting of door system, whether by the builder or by us.
The S4 Screen (superseding the S1 Screen) enables homeowners with large door openings to enjoy the luxury of inside-outside living without the traditional compromises – insects, glare and loss of privacy. Operating with just a fingertip, Centor’s unique load balancing technology allows screens and blinds to glide smoothly across the whole door opening to effortlessly stop at any desired position. When not in use, the screen or blind retracts discreetly into the frame removing visual distractions to the view outside whilst also protecting it from damage, dust or dirt. This is especially important for a seasonally used product.
