Screens

Fixed Screens

"The fixed screen is the "crème de la crème" in Home Cinema. The projection screen is stretched, like in a cinema, over a metal frame. Nothing is more like having a cinema at home than going into a room and finding a pristine screen stretched out on its frame. If, on top of that, you install a system of electric curtains, the setting will be perfect. In addition, this configuration has the significant advantage of keeping a perfect tension on the screen, which, thanks to this, never creases or buckles. It is evident that such an installation is only possible if you have a room entirely dedicated to your Home Cinema, as the permanent sight of a screen is not always very graceful. It’s for this reason that electric and manual retractable screens were invented.

There are several ways of stretching a screen on a frame, whether it be in steel or aluminium.

- by bordering the screen material with eyelets every 15cm and lacing the screen to a frame with the aid of a marine chord,
- by inserting a tubular structure in a hem stitched around the edges of the screen,
- or by including female press studs all around the edges of the screen, with corresponding male press studs on the frame itself. The advantage of the latter system is to be able to dismount it quickly. "
