Company Overview

Grand Opening Doors is a privately-owned Australian manufacturing company located in Thomastown,

Victoria. As the only known company in Australia dedicated solely to the design and manufacture of

external timber bi-folds, we are uniquely positioned to provide a product and a service that is superior to

any other bi-fold manufacturer in the country. Founding Director, Lou Kotevski, has been producing doors

and windows for the domestic and commercial markets since 1988.

Production facilities encompass timber dressing in a state-of-the-art factory - with assembly, quality

control and storage in a separate area, where it is overseen by management.

With the last five years devoted to the perfection of external bi-fold systems, integrated screens and

production methods, they are now installed by a large number of builders as well as our own team of

installers right across Victoria. The results are simple and demonstrable:

1. Stronger profits per house-lot for builders

2. Dependable supply and installation, ensuring peace of mind for architects and builders

3. Excellent product differentiation and faster home sales though increased ‘wow-factor’

4. Dramatically reduced warranty call-outs for builders who had been using inferior softwood products

5. Enhanced property value for home owners

6. Enhanced lifestyle for homeowners & subsequent product referrals

Our clients range in size from individuals purchasing a single system, to large resellers procuring 400 units

per annum for on-sale to individuals and builders alike.


Bi-Fold Specifications We can produce bi-fold systems to almost any specification, but by way of example, we are currently

producing the following configurations:

Bi-Fold Specifications Continued All of our bi-fold systems are produced to the following material specifications:

The Best Timber

We use Victorian Ash Hardwood on all our bi-fold systems because it’s stronger, more stable, and longer-

lasting than imported timbers and certainly superior to softwoods like Pine, Cedar or Meranti. Vic Ash

Hardwood is far less susceptible to expansion or shrinkage caused by climatic extremes.

The Best Glazing

Our systems are designed to accommodate a range of glazing options, including:

• 6.38mm A-grade Laminated Glass – safer, stronger and with better sound reduction capability than

the 4mm toughened glass used by many others.

• Low-E Laminated or Toughened

• Double-glazed in a range of U-values – with any make-up, including various combinations of:

o Optional argon gas-filled

o Toughened, Low-E and Laminated Glass

o Up to 25mm overall thickness

o Spacer bars in a range of thicknesses

The Best Hardware

We build all of our systems using accessories and tracking systems from the Centor Eclipse range. These

are the highest quality components from an internationally respected supplier, offering a 10-year

guarantee.

E2 is a bifold door hardware system for door panels up to a

maximum of 40 kilograms. Available in an extensive range of

finishes, E2 is the smart choice for matching hardware to a

range of residential and light commercial applications which do

not require the extra panel weight capacity of E3 or the

substantial heavy door capacity of the E4 system. E2 offers all

the space-creating benefits of the larger systems in a refined yet

economical package.

wEaThErproof Impressive water performance ratings are achievable from both

outward and inward opening doors with the system achieving its

superior rain and wind resistance in part from the way it allows

door panels to close snugly against rubber weather seals.

Resistance to air infiltration up to 50 times better than a sliding

door and impressive acoustic sealing qualities are a resulting

bonus, particularly when E2 is used indoors. A floating wall pivot

is used to control door stile deflection and bowing on tall doors

caused by wind loads or climatic conditions.

provEn pErformancEProduced in the highest grade stainless steel, solid brass,

aluminium and engineering grade plastics, individual E2

components have undergone extensive laboratory testing

including cyclic testing to 50,000 cycles as well as corrosion

testing, structural testing and finite element analysis. Stainless

steel bearings are custom machined to fine tolerances and

machined wheels are individually precision ground to an

ultra-fine hone. Unparalleled performance is the result from this

top-hung design, with smoothness of function that has to be

felt to be believed.

Easy assEmbly, insTallaTion and adjusTmEnTWith a choice of quick-fix surface-mounted fittings or mortice

hinged components for more traditional joinery styles, assembly

and installation couldn’t be easier. Centor’s innovative hinge

system allows for equal-sized door panels regardless of the

configuration. Comprehensive instructions are included and drill

jigs are available to ensure precise placement of fittings. The

patented Surelock™ carrier pin locking system ensures that once

heights are set they stay set. Vertical and lateral adjustments can

be made by the end-user, simply using a screwdriver.

E2: BIFOLDING SYSTEM

SPECIFYING E2

For detailed component selection, including calculating size and number of door panels, specifiers can utilise Doorcalc, Centor’s free specification and ordering software. Doorcalc is available from www.centor.com.au

Architects and Designers can feel comfortable simply specifying “Centor E2” and leaving detailed component selection to the builder, joiner or fabricator.

door scrEEn compaTiblEE2 is fully compatible with the ES2 insect Door Screen, Centor’s

superbly effective, world-first screening solution for bifold-scale

openings.

sEcurENo externally accessible hardware can be removed when

E2-based doors are closed. Locking screw technology ensures

that E2 hardware cannot be removed from the track. Centor

dropbolts, door furniture and locksets complete the package.

unobTrusivE guidE channElOffset floor guides and floor pivots are a component option,

allowing the floor guide channel to be concealed beneath closed

doors. A range of ready-made door sills compatible with E2

simplify the installation of bifold doors in exposed applications and

ensure a stylish, seamless result.

accessible and to create a combined interior-exterior space which

as a result of the project’s location has created an broader

connection with the exterior urban environment.

The big opening brings light and outdoors inside. Were the

bi-fold doors crucial in this?

The Bi-fold doors were crucial for this project as they provide the

ability to open the entire living, dining and kitchen spaces to the

exterior. We were able to achieve this as the dwelling is located at

a first floor level and the open street is within meters from the

open living spaces.

What do you think the Centor Architectural systems added

to this project?

The Centor system added excellent lightweight door handling and

smooth glide operations. Weather tight seals for internal thermal

comfort was important to this project and Centor Architectural

systems were selected on their ability to satisfy this requirement.

Do you regularly specify Centor systems?

The products we chose are regularly reviewed against what is

available on the market, and we regularly specify Centor for our

projects based on quality, performance and best value.

Has there been any feedback from the client regarding

functionality of the hardware and the ease of operation?

Yes, the Client has been very satisfied with the project outcome

and the benefits of the Centor bi-fold door system.

Tell us about yourself and your practice.

K20 Architecture is a medium sized practice delivering sustainable

and innovative design outcomes. The creative idea of K20

Architecture rests with our vision to collaboratively and

respectfully work within our environment and with our clients. We

focus on undertaking projects with a social emphasis that

includes housing, community centres, hospitals and education

centres within both urban and rural areas throughout Australia.

The practice has a proven track record for project delivery, and

has developed a series of key service delivery systems and

policies. These include client project access, project review

systems, innovation and environmental policies, with the practice

operating carbon neutral.

What do you like best about being an architect?

As an Architect I really enjoy the thought process for design -

within which the expressions of our constructed thought can

positively contribute to our environment and well being within a

social and cultural framework.

What was your brief for the job?

The Brief required a design outcome which respected the cultural

and historical significance of Ward street by creating a space

linked to the immediate urban fabric in proportion and rhythm.

Why did you decide to use bi-fold doors?

Sliding doors were considered for this project, however bi-fold

doors were chosen because of their ability to open the façades

end to end. The design required that the total space be

CENTOR ARCHITECTURALCREATING WITH CENTOR

While Centor’s market-leading bifold systems were designed

to ensure an effective weatherproof barrier against the

harshest conditions, the appeal of flexibly dividing or opening

up space makes them just as popular for indoor applications.

Smooth-running performance and stylish looks make them an

easy choice inside, outside – or both!

crEaTing opTions



p: 136



As much as Centor has a reputation for innovative design and

flawlessly performing hardware, we can only take it so far. When

we hand over control of a new system to the industry we are

often pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm and creativity with

which architects, designers and specifiers take up the challenge

of harnessing its potential to create something truly unique.

Take the extensive use of Centor-equipped bifolds indoors in

this warehouse conversion, used by Brisbane sculptor Stephen

Hart as his studio and day-residence. Centor bifold technology

allows inspiringly outfitted study and kitchen spaces to be

swiftly and effortlessly separated from the noise and dust of the

workspace – defining or dividing space rather than revealing it!

No longer confined strictly to a rough and ready industrial zone,

Hart’s elegant expressions of creativity take shape in surrounds

which match his aesthete’s eye.

Creating systems so creative minds can get on with

the job – Centor Architectural.

door siZE calculaTion

To calculate the dimensions of the doors or openings

we strongly recommend using Centor’s “Doorcalc”

program, which is a Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet.

To manually calculate door sizing for an opening, follow

the following steps:

1 Prepare a basic sketch of your door opening (see worked

example), to visualize clearances and check sizes.

2 The calculation is based on all panels being equal width,

using half-offset hinges (Patent Pending). Note that the

allowance between each panel is 4mm although hinge

thickness is less – this allowance has been determined by

consultation with fabricators as the best approximation

for calculation. Clearance between hinges and hinge

pins, coupled with the pressure from compression seals

accounts for the allowance being larger than the nominal

hinge flap thickness.

3 Recommended clearances are as follows:

• Jamb to panel (door closed) 7 mm

• Panel to panel (door closed) 4 mm

• Top of panel to head 5 mm

• Bottom of panel to sill 5 mm for straight guides

10mm for concealed guides

Check against your door layout:

The panel height is the opening height less the nominal top

Used singly, or paired together to allow for an infinitely adjustable opening position, Centor’s Door Screen units are ready for action as soon as temperatures allow for open doors, the rest of the year they can be rolled back out of view – a revolutionary response to unpleasant flying pests for those who hate to compromise on style.

CONSIDERED DESIGNThe considered design of Centor’s Door Screen systems mean they complement any bi-fold opening. Integrated into the architecture of the door frame itself and functioning so simply and smoothly the systems feel integral to the structure, not something tacked on as an afterthought.

Load Balancing Technology™ (LBT™) (patent pending) allows for the sort of effortless fingertip control synonymous with Centor products. There’s no crude spring-loading to fight against, no cumbersome latches or locks just a simple magnetic catch. One hand anywhere on the handsome, ergonomically-designed lead-stile set’s the screen in motion. Let it go and the screen glides smoothly to a stop, remaining firmly in the chosen position until further pressure is applied.

Load-balancing also means far greater mesh tension across the screen, eliminating any tendency for sag, while Tight Technology™ manufacturing techniques ensure control of the horizontal edges of the screen so they remain straight and tight across the widest spans. A built-in shock absorption system means visitors taken in by the screen’s unobtrusiveness damage only their pride! Should a strong wind gust cause the mesh to blow out of the top or bottom channels the screen is designed to self-feed back onto the roll as it is rolled away.

The issue of insect screening has long been a limiting factor to external door specification in the modern-day building

and renovation industries. The desirability of uninterrupted views and unrestricted movement in the summer months

had to be balanced with the need to eliminate insects. Centor Architectural’s new Door Screen systems are superbly

effective, world-first screening solutions for bi-fold openings.

The systems have also stood up to impact testing with a 17kg punching bag 100 times, wind testing to 20kph and considerable pushing, poking and prodding to simulate real life usage. Centor’s usual ten year warranty against manufacturing defects applies to all Door Screen components. PetScreen Lite, the tough PVC-coated polyester mesh chosen for the screen systems, is hardwearing and resistant to damage from pets. The mesh is easy to clean and can be replaced.

AUSTRALIAN STANDARDSCurrently there is no Australian Standard specifically for external bi-fold doors, however Australian Standard AS 2047-1999 Windows in Buildings – Selection and Installation specifies materials and performance requirements for external windows and doors. The wind load, weather and operational performance specified for other types of external windows and doors could reasonably be expected to apply to an external folding door system used in the same application. Centor recommends that all users obtain a copy of AS 2047 and AS 4420 from Standards Australia.

Centor has tested an ES2 Door Screen folding door system to the applicable requirements of AS 2047-1999 in a NATA certified testing facility (Test No. AZT0100) and obtained the results shown in the table above.

This performance data is an indication of the ratings that can be achieved with appropriate door design and manufacture. Centor does not manufacture complete door systems but supplies both the folding hardware and outer frame incorporating ES2 to door manufacturers for assembly and construction. The Centor technical department can assist manufacturers in the design and testing process for doors incorporating Centor Door Screen systems to ensure the required performance criteria for a complete assembled folding door system meets similar standards.

WARRANTY Centor’s usual ten year warranty against manufacturing defects applies to all Door Screen components.

In developing the Door Screen systems, Centor’s designers have catered for anything that modern life might throw at

these sturdy products. Manufactured entirely in stainless steel, brass and reinforced engineering polymers the systems

have undergone cyclic testing to 50,000 operations in a laboratory and been extensively exposed to dust, mud, sand

and corrosive atmosphere.

Not content to stand still, Centor looks to the future with improved availability and an ever-expanding range. The ES2 Door Screen is available through a growing number of Centor-approved manufacturers listed on the regularly updated Centor Architectural website www.centor.com.au. Full-size working displays can be viewed in the showrooms of approved manufacturers who will be pleased to quote for Centor-equipped doors incorporating the ES2 system.

Several major industry players are in the set-up phase for aluminium door production incorporating ES2, while ES3 – the same system adapted to suit doors using medium-heavy Centor E3 bi-fold hardware – will come on line in early to mid 2007.

CENTOR ARCHITECTURAL – PUSHING THE BOUNDARIESEver since Centor founder Frank Spork first turned his attention to producing superior sliding door tracking, Centor has prided itself on being ahead of the pack. The many patents awarded to Centor for our sliding and folding systems are seen as badges of honour – proof positive that Centor got there first! The ES2 insect Door Screen for bi-fold scale openings, is the latest world-first solution brought into being by the desire to see the end-user get the most from their built environment.

The level of demand for a bi-fold scale screening system which didn’t compromise on style was obvious even at the

prototype stage. An enthusiastic industry reception for the ES2 system confirmed the strength of the concept, while

winning the prestigious Best Product award at Design Build 2006 was proof positive that Centor’s design team had

succeeded in bringing the vision to life.

The screen and blind allows homeowners to have control of

their living environment like never before. The S1E Eco-Screen™

is entirely built into the window or door frame, retracting

horizontally into the frame when not in use.

The combined screen and blind provide a two in one solution

for openings up to 3.7 metres wide. The screen prevents

insects entering the home while allowing breezes to pass

through. The blind seals the opening in the frame, controlling

heat gain and loss.

The double screen or blind provides extra large opening up to

7.4 metres wide the opportunity to be screened from insects

without obstructing views or covered with a blind for thermal

control and privacy.

Blind

In summer, the thermal control blind can be used during the day

to prevent solar heat gain, similar to double glazing, but with the

added benefit of shading. When not required, the blind retracts

into the door frame. Centor’s patent pending Load Balancing

Technology (LBT™) allows the blind can be operated effortlessly

with fingertip operation and requires no locks or latches.

During winter, the thermal control blind can be used in the

evening to significantly reduce heat loss through the glazing.

Thermal loss is greatly diminished as the fabric is contained

inside the frame box.

The thermal contol properties of the blind provide cost effective

and eco-frienly solutions by reducing reliance on heating and

cooling systems.

The thermal blind is available in blackout, privacy and

shade fabrics.

The S1E insect screen is the largest and most robust fully

retractable screening system on the market.

This effective, world-first screening solution for openings up to

to compromise between uninterrupted views and unrestricted

movement in the summer months and the need to eliminate

annoying pests all year-round.

Used singly, along with the S1E blind, or as a double screen to

allow for adjustable opening positions, Centor’s S1E insect

The considered design of Centor’s S1E Eco-Screen™ means

it complements any large opening. The system is available in

custom colours and real wood veneer finishes, its hardware

integrated into the door frame itself, rather than tacked on as an

afterthought. A range of Centor innovations ensure the whole

package functions simply and smoothly.

Load Balancing Technology™

Load Balancing Technology (LBT™) (patent pending) allows

for the sort of effortless fingertip control synonymous with

Centor products. With no crude spring-loading to fight against,

the screen’s lead-stile remains firmly in any chosen position until

further pressure is applied. Load-balancing also means far

greater tension across the screen or blind, eliminating any

tendency for sag.

Tight Technology ™

Tight Technology™ manufacturing techniques ensure control of

the horizontal edges of the screen so they remain straight and

tight across the widest spans.

Shock Absorption

A shock absorption system allows visitors taken in by the

screen’s unobtrusiveness and near invisibility to walk away with

no more than a surprise – and no system damage.

Self-Feeding Mechanism

Should strong winds blow the screen out of the top or

bottom channels the mesh will self-feed back onto the roll

as it is rolled away.

Windows

Banks of casement, double

hung and bifold windows are

all ideal applications for the

S1E screening solution.

French Doors

S1E is an ideal solution for

screening even the largest

French doors. Use a combined

screen and blind for a

complete screening solution.

Bifold Doors

S1E Eco-Screen™ is

ideally suited to use with

the full range of Centor

bifold systems.

Sliding Doors

Large sliding doors and stacker

doors are an ideal application

for Centor’s S1E screen. Most

door openings can be covered

by a single screen unit.


In developing the S1E Eco-Screen™, Centor’s designers

have catered for anything that modern life might throw at this

sturdy product.

Materials

S1E is manufactured in stainless steel and reinforced

engineering polymers. PetScreen Lite, the tough PVC-coated

polyester mesh used in the insect screen, is hard wearing and

resistant to damage from pets and children. The mesh is easy to

clean and can be replaced (service call required). The blind is

available in blackout, privacy and shade fabrics.

Screen Maintenance

Screen fabric should be cleaned with a soft brush or a damp,

soft cloth.

Tracking should be regularly cleaned to prevent the build-up of

dirt and debris. A vacuum cleaner fitted with a nozzle is effective.

Operating mechanisms are fully self contained and do not

require maintenance other then keeping clear of dirt and debris.

The inner-Brisbane home, created between two heritage-listed buildings on what was once an old car park, is full of unique touches including a central open air grassed courtyard surrounded by rooms and living space.

But the beautiful home was attracting some unwelcome visitors – mosquitoes.

“When I designed the house there was nothing available that screened the opening to the courtyard without being invasive. It was important that nothing obstructed the relationship between the house and the open outdoor space.” James said.

The availability of the S1 screening system from Centor Architectural three years later excited James so much he reemployed the builders to make some adjustments.

An architecturally designed retractable insect screen for large doors and windows, the S1 system includes single span screens up to 3 metres high and 7.4 metres wide which retract invisibly into the door frame.

As they can be fitted to any existing door or window, James was able to design them into his existing home with minimal adjustments made to the foundations.

“Builders removed small sections of timber and flooring to install the tracks and storage space for the screens.

“As there are no panels or mullions in the screens there is nothing to impair the view or break up the scene.”

James feels the screens are almost unnoticeable. “After you’ve looked into the courtyard there is no memory of the screens you have just looked through. Even inside, we feel we are living in a veranda space,” James said.

James’ screens are 4.35 metres wide and 2.4 metres high and are located at both ends of his courtyard, protecting the kitchen area at one end and the living space at the other.

“Because we didn’t need the screens for security, only comfort, we hope to leave them open for nine months of the year.”

With the Queensland summer months being a favourite for mosquitoes after dark, James finds the screen invaluable in protecting his family when needed.

The system is also easy for James’ young family to use. “It slides effortlessly with one finger allowing you to control the house and still enjoy the breezes, fresh air and outside noises.”

“There is a trend to use big doors and this creates a need for security and the weather to be managed in another way, so that the doors aren’t always being opened and closed.

“Wonderful screening is more important than wonderful doors. Prior to the arrival of the S1, I couldn’t find nice clean screening that also kept the house open.”

James’ home won the Robin Dods Award for Residential Architecture at the Queensland Architecture Awards in 2006 and went on to place second nationally. His seven year old business is renowned for designing unique residential homes which blend with Australia’s tropical lifestyle.

Architect George Hazell has transformed this Queenslander located at Woolongabba, which overlooks Brisbane’s river district and CBD. The existing walls and windows hid the views and intercepted the flow of refreshing breezes through the home.

The brief for the renovation project was to open up the space and replace the tiny existing windows with one large opening, capturing the full extent of the stunning surrounds.

An opening 2.7m high and 7.4m wide was created using concealed steel beams, completely changing the look and feel of the home. Centor’s A14 sliding hardware was used with a set of four aluminium door panels, opening the kitchen and dining room onto a large deck off the back of the house.

The question was, “How do we screen the opening to maximize the Queensland lifestyle?”

“On past projects a series of bifold shutters have been used with an integral flyscreen. These however obstruct views and require a whole second series of tracks and frames.”

It was when George heard about Centor’s S1 screen he knew his problem was solved.

“I was excited to hear that Centor had developed a stand alone screening system which could be used with any given opening and door system.”

“The S1 screen pushed the boundaries of current screening technology. It was purpose made for the opening with the aluminium frame fully recessed into the floor, ceiling and jambs, making it the largest screen of its type in the world.”

The S1 screen is perfect for the Australian way of life, connecting inside and outside. It lets summer breezes and sounds through while keeping pests out.

“The system also has added flexibility, acting as a filter for the harsh sun on glary days and as a wind buffer when breezes are stronger.”
