Manual pull-down screen:
Pull-down screens are our best-selling screens: they're versatile and almost invisible once the screen is retracted into its case. A spring mechanism pulls the fabric back into the case after a gentle tug.
We offer pull-down screens with black, white and silver cases and in three different formats (4:3, 16:9, 16:10).

Which fabric and size suit your room depends on seating distance, ambient light and projector – tell us your key details and we'll work it out with you.

Motorised screen:
A motorised screen is the most elegant way to install a projector screen in a room. They usually come with a remote control and a wall switch, so you can lower the screen comfortably from the sofa. It's even easier with a trigger, which links the projector and screen so that both switch on at the same time. We have electric screens in various colours and in 4:3, 16:9, 16:10 and 21:9 formats

Tensioned screen
A motorised tensioned screen is the best way to achieve an invisible living-room installation and a perfectly flat image. A cable tensioning system on each side and an extra-heavy bottom bar keep the fabric slightly tensioned at the sides, constantly evening out waves or bulges. The waviness typical of motorised screens without a tab-tension system is thus permanently prevented, giving you a home cinema experience otherwise only found with a fixed-frame screen.
The fabric of a tensioned screen is not a rigid woven material but a slightly elastic fibreglass fabric. We always recommend these screens wherever a perfect image matters.

Fixed-frame screen:
A fixed-frame screen is distinguished above all by the perfectly flat surface of its screen fabric. That makes it indispensable wherever perfect quality of the projected image is the priority. We recommend this type of screen in combination with high-end home cinema projectors and short-throw projectors

Tripod screen
A tripod screen is probably the most flexible way to set up a screen, because a tripod screen doesn't need to be installed. Straight out of the box, it can be set up within a few minutes and moved easily from room to room.
We offer tripod screens in various sizes and qualities.

Portable screen
A portable screen is of interest to anyone who values maximum mobility and quick set-up. This portable screen can be pulled out of its case very quickly and is supported by a scissor mechanism on the back of the screen. Whether at home, in a restaurant or in the office – portable screens can be used anywhere. A cheaper alternative to the portable case screen is the tripod screen

In-ceiling screen
An in-ceiling screen is the perfect combination of a large image and an invisible installation. The screen is recessed into the ceiling using an in-ceiling installation box, after which only a small slot is visible from which the fabric descends. Most recessed screens are installed in conference rooms, but we recommend them wherever an invisible installation matters – including home cinemas or living rooms.

Tabletop screen
A tabletop screen is the ideal solution for quickly setting up a presentation environment in a client's conference room or a friend's living room. The screen case is pulled apart and the rolled-up fabric is tensioned by a scissor frame. We offer tabletop screen models in various sizes and shapes. Together with a small portable LED projector, you can reduce your projection equipment to a minimum.
