Know before you buy
The trap door is motorized to open automatically as the screen begins its descent. Once the screen is fully retracted, the door closes to conceal the unit, providing a clean, flush look against your ceiling.
The tab-tensioned system applies consistent lateral tension across the fabric, which prevents curling at the edges. This ensures the screen surface remains perfectly flat, providing a distortion-free image that is essential for high-resolution projection.
The case measures 14-1/16 inches high by 11 inches deep, so you will need to ensure your ceiling plenum has sufficient clearance. The sliding mounting brackets offer some flexibility during installation, but it is recommended to verify your ceiling cavity dimensions before purchasing.
The unit is designed for easy upkeep, featuring a bottom access panel that allows you to service the motor or screen fabric without needing to remove the entire case from the ceiling. This makes long-term maintenance significantly more manageable in professional settings.
Matte White is the standard for controlled lighting environments, while Gray helps improve contrast in rooms with some ambient light. The Ambient Light Rejecting material is specifically engineered to maintain image quality in brighter spaces by reflecting projector light while absorbing off-axis glare.
Yes, the closure panel is contractor-finishable, meaning it can be painted or treated to match the surrounding ceiling material. This allows the screen to blend seamlessly into your venue's interior design when not in use.
