CASE STUDY | WINDOWS
BEFORE
AFTER
This system is ideal for situations where the
opening has been previously occupied by a
standard sliding door.
The second concern was whether replacing
the brick wall with bifold doors would
expose the home interior to unwanted
pests in summer months. With the help of
their Carinya dealer and their local builder,
they identified the perfect addition – a
Centor S1E screen. The retractable screen
disappears completely into the door
frame when not in use, and serves multiple
functions. It screens out insects, creates
privacy when needed, and can even be used
as a movie projection screen at night.
“The combination of the bifold doors and
the Centor screen has given us exactly what
we needed,” says Tamara.
Replacing both the old sliding door and the
brick wall with bifold doors has dramatically
increased the usable living areas, with the
added bonus of bringing more daylight to
the existing internal spaces and making the
area feel larger.
“It’s given us so much more space, given
us plenty of space to entertain, and it’s
definitely increased the value of our home.”
With the addition of a new pergola roof,
featuring opaque panelling, a new dining
setting and modernised travertine pavers,
the transformation of the outdoor living area
was complete. “This renovation has changed
the way we use our home and has truly
helped us make the most of our space,” says
Tamara.
