Projection Screen Framing….for Home Theater, Digital Signage or Commercial? TRaC Associates offer multiple options to fit your needs

Posted in Articles by Dave Benedict on the November 24th, 2008


Choosing the right projector screen for the right application is not always easy.  Likewise, once you have chosen the screen, you must make a choice on the right screen mounting hardware for the site installation. This is critically important for the décor and appearance of the installation site.  TRaC Associates not only offers different screen options but also different framing hardware and consultative guidance on what to choose.

 

Installations against a wall typically require a permanently framed option.  A black frame always does well, with or without light absorbing black frame felt.  But the frame doesn’t have to be black; you could choose a color of your choice…  TRaC offers standard aluminum frames in black or custom colors.

 

Trade shows and corporate events might also use a traditional black frame on a back wall.  However, if you want a rear projection screen, perhaps flying above the viewer’s eyes, you may want something less “heavy” in appearance. 

 

Frameless panels work well, suspended only from guide wires, or self standing table tops.  But for some of the best, and brightest rear projection screen foil materials (or two way images) you may want it to be “floating in air”. Tubular brushed aluminum frames hold the screen material flat and taunt, for a perfectly flat projection surface. 

 

Their high tech appearance and light weight purvey a modern, architectural and simplistic appearance, without the visual appearance of a heavy picture frame solution.  They also allow simple disassembly and packing in tubes for shipments to another location.

 

For a retail window, you may want a screen affixed directly to the window or a clear substrate.  Or perhaps, consider a temporary screen that could be moved to another location at a later date.  TRaC can offer both alternatives.  Permanently fixed to a window, or simply suspended behind it. 

 

We have had several installations of rear projection screens flying in large retail stores in a similar fashion to POP printed banners.  These were held only in hanging/holding strips at the top and the bottom of the projection screen in-store or at window sites.

 

Call us for assistance to tackle the aspects of the installation site and techniques.  We can help.
