Two Types of Hanging Projection Screens

Hanging projection screens are very convenient to use in a situation where the screen will be getting a lot of use. Hanging screens are securely mounted on a wall or ceiling. They can either be a flat screen that remains hung or a pull up type of screen that rolls up into a casing that is also a part of the screen.

Hanging projection screens are probably one of the best known projection screens types. A couple good examples are movie screens and classroom screens. Movie screens are permanent frame style hanging screens. They are hung without the intention of taking the down. Classroom screens are often a pull down style of hanging screen. A typical classroom projection screen is mounted above the chalkboard and pulled down when needed and retracted into their casing when not in use.

Hanging projection screens may be easy to use, but they also require regular cleaning since they are exposed often to debris and dust in the air. A pull down style projection screen that has been open for a while should be cleaned before pulling it up as the debris that has settled on the surface could pose a risk for scratching on the screen surface when it is rolled up. A permanent mounted hanging screen should be cleaned to prevent the build up of debris which is damaging to the screen.

Hanging projection screens offer a way to eliminate storage concerns. They are not taken down and stored, but remain of the wall or retracted when not in use. This type of projection screen is very convenient for a situation where the projection screen will be used quite often or used on a regular basis.
