EW

Centor EW is an external bifold window hardware system for windows with a maximum sash weight up to 20 kilograms. EW is suitable for a range of smaller residential and commercial openings including counters and serveries, as an alternative to conventional windows in bedrooms or living areas, or anywhere the larger panel capacity of one of Centor's bifold door systems is not required. EW bifolds come complete with aluminium and timber lineal kits and can be fully factory assembled prior to installation. The first folding window system to offer a fully integrated retractable insect screen, EW successfully brings the functionality and style of bifold technology to smaller-scale openings.

Weatherproof
Impressive water performance ratings are achievable from outward opening windows with the system achieving its superior rain and wind resistance in part from the way window panel to close snugly against weather seals. Resistance to air infiltration up to fifty times better than a sliding window, and impressive acoustic sealing qualities are additional benefits.

Screening
The EW flyscreen system is fully integrated into the window system and can be fully retracted for unobscured vistas. The chain-operated system can be operated with one hand and provides for easy access over benches or furniture.

Proven Performance
Produced in architectural grade stainless steel, solid brass, aluminium and engineering grade plastics, individual EW 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 individually precision ground to ultra-fine clearances. 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 adjustment
EW has been designed to be fully assembled and fitted in the fabricator's factory allowing simple site installation of the finished unit. Whether assembled in the factory or on site, installation couldn't be easier with complete kits for four popular configurations, comprehensive instructions and drill jigs available for the surface-mounted fittings. Patented Surelock adjustment mechanisms allow vertical and lateral adjustments to be made with a screwdriver, while care has been taken to ensure adjustment is possible from inside the building in elevated applications.
