Why choose Centor screening systems?
There are many reasons to choose Centor retractable screening systems. Centor screens offer unobtrusive insect protection for large openings up to 7.6m. The robust system is both versatile, and a delight to use – opening and closing with just the touch of a fingertip. The Centor insect screen won’t spoil your view, with sheer mesh that disappears when not in use.
Where can I buy Centor screens?
You can buy Centor screens from select window and door manufacturers in the UK and Europe. Call us on 0121 701 2500 to find your nearest supplier.
How tough are Centor screens?
Centor has exhaustively tested the screens to ensure they can endure real-life use. The screen system has withstood cycle testing to 400,000 operations, and been exposed to dust, mud, sand and salt spray. It has also stood up to impact testing with a 17kg punching bag 100 times, and considerable pushing, poking and prodding to simulate real-life use.
What do I do if I have a problem with my screen?
The operating mechanism of the Centor screen is not user serviceable. If you have any concerns about the manner of operation, then please contact us on 0121 701 2500 for further advice. Attempting to self diagnose the fault (beyond cleaning the bottom track) is not recommended, so please give us a call – we’d love to have a chat.
Can I combine a screen and a blind in the one system?
Yes. Centor’s S1E Eco-screen has the option of combining a screen and blind in a two-in-one system. A combined system can be installed in openings up to 3.9m wide and 2.4 m tall. Visit the Blinds page for more information on the benefits of installing a Centor blind with your screen.
Who should install Centor systems?
For best results, Centor recommends your screens be installed by a qualified tradesperson who is familiar with the system. If buying your screen from a door manufacturer, they may either offer an installation service or be able to direct you to qualified tradespeople in your area. You can also find contractors in the phone book, online or in printed advertisements. You should consult the relevant government body to ensure the contractor you hire to install your screens is appropriately licensed.
What maintenance is required?
Centor screen systems require just simple maintenance. In general, all that is required is regular cleaning to keep tracks clear of grit. For full details, visit our Maintenance page.
Do Centor screens come with a warranty?
Yes, Centor screens come with a five-year warranty. For full details, visit our Warranty page.
What finishes are Centor screens available in?
Centor screen systems come in a range of finishes to suit any door or décor, with frames available with real wood veneer, clear anodised, or custom powdercoat options.
