Offering the fingertip operation synonymous with all Centor products, Centor’s F2 bottom-rolling system can be installed in any opening, including retrofitting into openings that formerly held sliding doors, and lower budget renovations. Living spaces can be transformed and the line between inside and outside blurred, with the F2 offering openings up to 11.4 m wide using Centor tracks, with wider openings possible using custom systems.
The Centor F2 transfers the door weight to the bottom, so there is no need for a strong overhead structural beam. This means folding doors can now be installed without structural adjustments.
Features and benefits
Centor asked the question ‘how can we help more people enjoy the benefits of bifolds?’ Centor’s latest folding innovation is the answer to this question, addressing all the problems previously associated with bottom-rolling folding doors.
- Operation: The Centor F2 glides thanks to sophisticated engineering. Articulated carriers compensate for imperfect openings, ensuring smooth operation.
- Tracks: Debris getting into tracks prevents other bottom-rolling systems from operating smoothly. The F2 combats debris with a seal over a concealed track, and sweepers on the carrier that act like a snowplough, keeping grit away from the mechanism. The tapered rollers and angled track also assist in grit removal.
- Sills: Most bottom-rolling systems have intrusive sills, while Centor F2’s low profile and unobtrusive sill allows for even smoother transitions between outside and inside spaces.
- Weather sealing: Doors using Centor technology included in the F2 system have been weather tested to Australian and international standards.
- Security: No externally accessible hardware can be compromised, offering a completely secure system.
- Adjustment: Like all Centor systems, the F2 can be easily adjusted to ensure doors are always a delight to use.

- Structural testing (include Finite Element Analysis simulation)
- Corrosion testing (including salt spray exposure)
