Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 29, 2013 2:48 pm Hi guys, I got my windows and bi-folds delivered today however I think they are made wrong. I am planning to get S1e centor retractable screen which will be fixed in front of the bi-fold door when looking from the inside. Eg. I am standing in the living room facing the bi-fold door. the order will be retractable screen then bi-fold. However for my bi-fold doors, there is timber reveal all the way around, just like a normal window reveal. Now this is strange because if I then fix the retractable screen in front of the bi-fold, obviously there will be two sliding tracks on the floor, one for bi-fold and one for retractable screen, however because there is timber reveal for the bi-fold all 4 sides, it would mean that there will be a BIG GAP between the two tracks. Therefore I was wondering if anyone has bi-fold + retractable screen installed could please post some photos to see whether their retractable screen is build abut with the bi-fold, meaning the two sliding tracks are stuck together leaving so gap in between. Should i get window company to take it back and cut all the timber reveal to make it flush with the aluminum? Also, another question is, since retractable screen is installed in front of the bi-fold, does that mean the wall for that side would be extra thick? because we would need to pack the wall to make it flush with the retractable screen. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Cheers Re: Please show me your bi-fold and retratable screen 2Oct 29, 2013 5:04 pm I don't know if this helps but I have a couple of pics. We have timber bi fold and the centor screen. In this first pic if you look closely you might be able to see black on the side? That is the screen which retracts into the door jamb which I think is the aluminium bit that you can see? We are having gyprock reveals but the builder said he will need to put some western red cedar around so there is no gap. This is a closer pic of the system that I took by mistake but may help.
