S1 Screen 

Weather Shield partnered with Centor®, a leading screen manufacturer, to offer the S1 Screen for Multi-slide, Lift-slide, and Bi-fold patio doors. Centor is the first manufacturer to offer a retractable insect screen and solar shade with virtually effortless fingertip operation. 

Load Balancing Technology™ allows for effortless fingertip control with no crude spring-loading to fight against.  The screen’s lead-stile remains firmly in any position until it is moved to the desired location.

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 mechanism helps prevent system damage by redirecting impact away from the screen.
