Which Ceiling-Recessed Projection Screen Should You Choose?

If you've been browsing our site for a while to plan your Home Cinema setup, you couldn't have missed it:
we've launched the CeilingScreen X Tensioned.
It's the ceiling-recessed projection screen that incorporates our latest innovations, both in terms of usability and installation. 

Here is an overview of the differences and advantages of each model, so you can determine which ceiling-recessed projection screen is right for you.

Which Ceiling-Recessed Projection Screen to Choose Based on Ceiling Plenum Space

The amount of space a ceiling-recessed projection screen occupies inside the false ceiling is a critical consideration when planning a designer Home Cinema.

If the false ceiling is already in place and only a few centimetres are available to conceal the projection screen, every centimetre counts.

The CeilingScreen X Tensioned requires 14 cm of plenum space in the false ceiling.

The available space in your false ceiling is therefore a key factor in choosing the right ceiling-recessed projection screen.

Which Ceiling-Recessed Projection Screen to Choose Based on How the Fabric is Concealed When Rolled Up

Our Home Cinema integration solutions are designed for everyone who wants to enjoy a true cinematic experience at home without compromising their interior décor. To ensure the motorised projection screen disappears completely when not in use, each model uses a different approach:

The CeilingScreen X Tensioned features a finishing plate that covers the mechanism's visible components.
This leaves only the screen's bottom bar visible, which, once rolled up, tucks neatly into the single visible slot.
The integration is extremely discreet, with only a slight additional thickness created by the finishing plate layered over the screen's components.

If you're looking for the most discreet motorised projection screen available, the CeilingScreen X Tensioned is the screen for you.

Which Ceiling-Recessed Projection Screen to Choose Based on Custom Sizing Options

Custom manufacturing is another factor that sets our two models apart.
The CeilingScreen X Tensioned is made from folded steel — a construction method that does not lend itself to affordable custom sizing.

The CeilingScreen X Tensioned invisible projection screen can therefore be personalised in terms of screen fabric size.

The retractable CeilingScreen X Tensioned offers virtually unlimited customisation:
the screen fabric size, the casing length, and even the casing colour can all be personalised.

So if your project calls for a high degree of customisation, the CeilingScreen X Tensioned will most likely be the best choice.

Which Ceiling-Recessed Projection Screen to Choose Based on the Mounting System

The way the projection screen is mounted in the false ceiling differs depending on the model chosen.

The CeilingScreen X Tensioned is mounted exclusively using the standard fixing system.

Maximum Size of the Recessed Projection Screen

The maximum size of the recessed projection screen may also influence which model you choose.


The CeilingScreen X Tensioned supports projected images up to 4 metres wide.
If your projection room requires a very large projection surface,
the CeilingScreen X Tensioned is the recessed projection screen to go for.

Whichever of our two retractable projection screen models you choose,
