Draper Screen Fabrics: Samples Available Upon Request
There are two basic types of projection screen materials:
1) Textile Backed (Supported ) Projection Screen Surfaces: Fiberglass Matt White, Panamax, Glass Beaded, AT1200, ATGray, High Contrast Gray In this group, the reflective surface is laminated to a woven textile base. The screen surface hangs suitably flat because of the stability of the material and the weight of the bottom dowel. Good for all types of projection.
2) 100% Vinyl (Unsupported) Projection Screen Materials: M1300, M2500, Cineflex, HiDef Grey, Flexible Matt White These projection screen materials are called unsupported vinyl. They are typically used in fixed wall projection screens or roller screens with tensioning capabilities. These materials must be stretch or tensioned to provide a flat viewing surface. Unsupported vinyl's that are flexible are used because they will provide a flatter viewing surface than a more rigid supported vinyl. These unsupported vinyl projection screen materials are great for the DIY home engineer. Simple frames can be created with std wood products that allow the DIY engineer to created a fixed wall projection screen frame at a fraction of the cost of a complete solution.
