453 Integrated Double-swing Window

With its clean look, equal-sized panels and simple lines, the Centor 453 Integrated Double-swing Window perfectly frames any view. The ideal complement to our 403 French Door, it features the same thermally-improved aluminum construction. 

For inside-outside living without the compromises, the Centor 453 Integrated Double-swing Window incorporates built-in screens and shades to control insects, sunlight and privacy. Our shades also enhance the thermal properties of the door, with independent tests showing that the blockout shade improves the U-value by 17% when drawn across the opening.

Features
Access AutoLatch™

Centor’s latest locking innovation, the Access AutoLatch™ is available on doors that are Florida hurricane rated. It replaces the traditional entrance handle with a concealed version that’s hidden from view in the door stile.

Interior of the Access AutoLatch
Interior
The lever is simply lifted to open the doors from the inside. A ‘signifier’ on the face of the panel hints at the lever’s location.
Exterior handle
Exterior
On the exterior, a slimline vertical pull-handle allows panels to be opened with ease.
Integrated screens and shades

Built into the window frame, our innovative integrated insect screens and shades are a world-first offering. They allow homeowners to enjoy inside-outside living without the compromises traditionally associated with large openings – insects, glare and loss of privacy.

Centor screens for Integrated Windows are built into the window frame
Screens
Choose between two mesh types to keep even the smallest insects out of your home, like Deb: “Although there are a lot of midges near the moorland, we really didn’t expect to need it very much. It’s been so useful though!”
Centor shades for Integrated Windows retract from sight into the window frame when not in use
Shades
Available in three patterns and a range of colors, choose our retractable light-filtering or block-out shades, like Gillian: “I didn’t want any curtains in my house, but I wanted the capability to occasionally block the light out and to close the windows off at night.”

The Design Pressure (DP) rating represents the maximum positive and negative wind load that a window or door can experience without breaking, deglazing or permanently distorting. The DP Rating is expressed as a positive and negative pound per square foot measurement (+/- psf). The Centor Integrated Folding Door was tested to a structural load of 67.67 psf and achieved a DP + /- 45 psf rating. The Centor Integrated Folding Door was tested in accordance to AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S2/A440-08,-11.

Thermal

The National Fenestration Rating Council is a non-profit organization that establishes objective window, door, and skylight energy performance ratings to help you compare products and make informed decisions. Centor Doors have been tested in accordance with NFRC 102-2010.  

Double glazed: U-factor as low as 0.29 Btu/h ft²-°F
Triple glazed: U-factor as low as 0.23 Btu/h ft²-°F
