In-ceiling screens: the discreet screen solution

A classic motorised screen is always visible, because the screen case is fixed either to the wall or the ceiling – so even when retracted, you permanently have a case hanging on your wall or ceiling. With an in-ceiling screen you don't have this problem, as it is simply integrated into the ceiling.

• Electric extension and retraction
• Easy operation via remote control or push-button switch – you'll find control units in our accessories category
• Almost invisible installation

• Requires mains power
• Higher cost
• More complex installation

Installation

An in-ceiling screen consists of the screen itself and a recessed mounting frame. This frame usually sits flush with the ceiling and has side flaps, so you can still service the screen whenever necessary after installation.

Different models require different cut-out dimensions. You will always find the relevant information in the respective product description or data sheet.
Likewise, details on the power connection can be found in the manual or the product description of each product.

If you already own a motorised screen, we also offer recessed mounting frames for some models. Simply get in touch with our customer advisers.

Your in-ceiling screen step by step

1. Buy your in-ceiling screen
2. Prepare the ceiling for installation (ceiling cut-out and preparation for the motor's power connection)
3. Once delivered, insert the in-ceiling screen into the prepared cut-out and connect it to the power supply

Using the celexon Professional Plus in-ceiling motorised screen as an example, we'll show you just how easy installation can be:

Step 1 - Loosen the screws on the mounting plates, slide the mounting plates towards the ends of the housing and fix them again

Step 2 - Drill four holes into the load-bearing concrete ceiling and insert metal anchors

Step 3 - Attach the mounting brackets and threaded rods to the anchors

Step 4 - Insert the screen housing into the ceiling cut-out and secure it using the threaded rods and nuts

Step 5 - Fix the screen with hexagon nuts and level it with a spirit level

Step 6 - Attach the access flaps: this gives you a result that is flush with the ceiling while still letting you access the screen later on

Why buy an in-ceiling screen?

An in-ceiling screen gives you all the advantages of a motorised screen, plus the option of making your screen disappear completely.

Whether you want to equip a classroom or give a conference room a modern look.

This screen solution blends perfectly into your rooms and, when retracted, disappears completely into the ceiling. Just like all our other solutions, it is available in many different formats, sizes and price ranges. From entry-level models to professional screens, we have it all!

If you already own a screen, please contact our customer service: for some screens, in-ceiling installation can be retrofitted. The in-ceiling frames required for this are easy to install and offer a secure, durable solution.

As with all screens, other factors also play a role here – you'll find more information in our screen guide.
