Centor S4 Retractable Insect Screen System

Unique Hardware Solutions
Visit Website

The Centor S4 is a premium retractable insect screen system designed for large sliding and folding door openings, helping create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Unlike conventional fixed, sliding or pleated insect screens, the S4 retracts discreetly into its frame when not in use, leaving views open and the architecture visually unobstructed. When required, the screen glides smoothly across the opening with fingertip operation, stopping effortlessly at any position.

Centor’s unique load-balancing technology makes the S4 easy to operate from any height, while the screen mesh is securely retained within the frame to prevent blow-out in breezy conditions. The fully retained screen provides effective insect protection without compromising the view.

The S4 can be installed internally or externally and configured as a single, double, combination, XO or jambless screen, allowing it to suit a wide range of large architectural openings.

For projects requiring more than insect protection, the S4 system can also incorporate light-filtering or blackout blinds, providing an integrated solution for insects, sunlight and privacy.

Available in a range of screen mesh options and powder-coated aluminium frame colours, the S4 combines refined aesthetics, effortless operation and practical performance for premium residential and architectural applications.

Configurations & Options

The S4 is available in multiple configurations to accommodate different door layouts, opening sizes and architectural requirements.

Single
A single screen extends from one side of the frame to cover the full opening.

Double
Two screens meet at any point across the opening, providing flexibility for wider openings and different access requirements.

Combination
Different fabric types can be combined within the same system. For example, an insect screen can be positioned on one side while a blind is housed on the other.

XO / OX
A single screen covers a sliding door opening and stops against the door handle, with the opposite jamb integrated into the wall. XO and OX configurations are available to suit the direction of the opening.

Jambless
A single screen operates without an opposing jamb, providing unobstructed access to sliding door and window handles. The jambless configuration can also maintain views through corner fixed-lites.

Screen Mesh Options
Screen mesh is available in different weave styles to provide insect protection without the visual distraction of pleated or sliding screen panels.

Blind Options
The S4 system can incorporate light-filtering and blackout blind fabrics in a range of colours and patterns, providing an integrated solution for privacy and solar control.

Frame Finishes
The aluminium frame can be powder-coated in a wide range of colours to complement the surrounding doors, windows and architecture.

Installation Position
S4 systems can be installed internally or externally. External installations incorporate sill drainage to suit the installation environment.
