Dazian Fabrics … experts in Home Theatre Screens, Screen Fabrications and Theatrical Draperies.
Bringing the movie experience into your home doesn’t need to imply “expensive”, so at
Dazian, we stock a large inventory and choice of projection screen materials to fit any budget
. We can fabricate a custom projection screen to your specifications, you can “do-it-yourself”
or we stock quality finished screens.
At Dazian, our Customer Service Representatives will help you build an environment that will
turn an ordinary room into a contemporary home theater. And since part of the ambience of
great home theater is designing a room that’s more than just a projector and screen, we
offer a large offering of Fire Resistant theatrical and blackout fabrics for draperies and
curtains. Our Fabrication Department can easily realize your plans or for our DIY friends you
can buy the fabric at great prices and have fun fabricating your own screen room.
Before making the decision on what screen to buy, here are a few terms and facts you
should know about projection screens.
Gain: Is a measure of a screens reflectivity.
Contrast: The capability to clearly reproduce the light and dark images and backgrounds or
the grey scale of an image.
Ambient Light: The light in a space that is either natural or artificial.
Resolution: The clarity of a projected image.
Uniformity: The screen performance when viewed from different angle off the center
(projection Axis). A comparison of the light from screen center to sides.
Aspect Ratio: The projection screens height and width, formatted for the projection source.
(Video, HDTV wide screen, overhead, slide or motion pictures)
Front Projection: A front projection screen is designed to project directly on.
Rear Projection: The projector is placed behind the screen and the light or image passes
through the screen material.
Front and Rear Projection: This screen can be used either as a front or rear projection.
This screen has the greatest flexibility and is used mostly in theaters that are capable of
projection in either direction. The screen is generally hung towards the front of the stage.
White Front Projection Screen: White is the most common color for a screen because it
allows the highest volume of light to reflect off the screen.
Grey Front Projection Screen: A grey screen will provide greater contrast and help bring out
the blacks. The downside is the loss of gain.
Grey Rear Projection Screen: Grey is a common color used in rear projection because it
provides contrast and prevents a hot spot from the projector lamp. Rear projection screens
have much higher gains than front screens and do not lose meaningful gain when grey.
Bone Front and Rear Projection: The bone color is a Hybrid to allow both front and rear
projection. These screens have higher gain from the rear.
Perforated Matte White Front Projection Screen: This screen is perforated with thousands
of small holes to allow sound to pass through the screen material. For screening rooms
with seating less than 20’ from the screen, this screen is not recommended because the
holes will be visible during projection. A micro perforated screen is available for fewer than
20’.
Acoustically Transparent Screen: This screen is used when speakers are place directly
behind the screen. Material that does not have acoustical transparency will block the sound
wave and create a distortion in the audio.
Is a higher gain screen better?
This is the most asked question about a screen.
It is important to understand what gain is and how it affects your image when purchasing a
front projection screen. In simple terms, gain is a measurement of how much light is
reflected back off the screen from the projector. As light is projected off the screen surface it
spreads out and forms a triangle or cone of light. The beam of light that is projected to the
screen forms a triangle of light as it reflects back into the room. This is the viewing cone. The
higher the gain the narrower the reflected cone. The narrower the cone the longer distance it
takes to widen. The less reflected light (lower gain) the wider the cone and the shorter
distance it needs to widen. This is important to you because the screen gain will determine
how far from the screen you will need to be to have a full viewing panorama (uniformity). This
uniformity will determine how many good viewing positions you will have in your theater. The
center seat will always be best and as each seat is placed off the center the screen image
will grow a little greyer and darker. With higher gain screens you will need to have your
seating start further back. This is because the cone is narrow and as you get further back
from the screen the cone widens and more seating positions are within the “uniformity”. A
lower gain screen will have a wider cone and you will need less distance from the screen to
have a fuller “uniformity”.
It is recommended that you choose a gain of 1 for screening rooms where your seating plan
is less than 20 feet from the screen.
Hint: If you desire a more reflective picture the best way is to increase the Lumens. To do this,
buy a projector with more lumens. This will give you a better result than screen gain.
What Gain do I need for rear projection screens?
Rear projection screens have a higher gain than front projection screens since the projector
light is penetrating thru the material and not reflecting off it. Gain also works differently in rear
projection and the cone effect is not a consideration. Most RP screens are around 3 to 4 gai
. There are now high tech nano technology screen materials that have gains over 6. These
screens are used in ambient light situations and are much more expensive then RP
material screens and have size limitations.
Should I build or buy a screen in a 16:9 Aspect ratio?
16:9 is becoming the most popular aspect Ratio. This is the ratio for wide screen movies.
Your projector is set up for this aspect as well as the video aspect of 4:3. This is a personal
choice. Many Home Theater enthusiasts prefer to have a choice of 4:3 and 16: 9 and built a
screen to accommodate both. Having both allows you to watch televised programming
without the distortion of wide angle (16:9) projection.
Do I have to darken the room to get a good picture?
With front projection screens the darker the room the better. Think of the movie theater you
attend the lights are always turned down.
How do I block out the light that comes in through the windows?
The best way to block out the light is to cover the windows with blackout material, blackout
drapes or blackout blinds.
How do I know what is the maximum size screen that will work in my screening room?
The size of your screen will depend on several factors. The first consideration is the
projector you purchase. All projectors will give you the specifications. A truism is that the
further away the projector is from the screen the larger the image. Therefore the length of the
screen room is a consideration as well as the projector. If you have a hard time
understanding the specifications that come with your projector a simple way to measure
your screen size is to place the projector in the spot where you will install it, widen the lens,|
set the aspect Ratio, and project onto your wall. You now can measure the height and width
of the wall and that will be the maximum size of the screen.
If you are building your screen from Projection Material order the size you need. If you plan to
buy a screen, get the measurements of the screen and adjust your projection to fit the
largest available manufactured screen.
With the large number of screen available and the different screen materials how do I
know which screen will work for me?
Many of the exotic screen material are designed for professional uses that are very specific.
The best is to keep it simple. If you have a choice of putting your budget towards a screen or
projector it is better to invest in a higher output and technically current projector.
Screen Materials
We offer you several choices of Front Projection Materials that have been tested for
projection and color balance. All these materials are Fire Rated and meet NFPA 701 Small
Scale testing standards.
Home Theater Screen Material – Front Projection:
This is value screen material that has a 1 gain with a fairly wide uniformity.
If you are on tight budget you will not go wrong with this projection material.
It comes in two widths: 54” and 110”, so you can choose the width that best suits your
screen. This material is non-directional so that you can use the material either horizontally or
vertically.
54” wide $9.50 per linear yard
110” wide $22.50 per linear yard
White Matte Non-Perforated – Front Projection:
This is the same material we build our theater screens with. It has a 1 gain and a very wide
uniformity. This material is perfect for large and small rooms since its projection cone will
allow 180 degrees of viewing surface. The clarity and contrast are up to theatrical standards.
54” wide $31.10 per linear yard
Grey Matte Non-Perforated – Rear Projection
This Grey Rear Projection cinema or theatre screens offers an unusually high gain with a
wide viewing angle. The specially textured surface reduces light wash.
86” wide $59.95 per linear yard
Acoustical Transparent – Front Projection
If you are planning to place your speakers behind the screen this acoustically transparent
screen material will do the trick. You will experience no sound distortion and still get a
screen with a 1 gain and great viewing angles. Color and clarity are excellent.
80” wide $25.00 per linear yard
Trapeze Plus™ (Stretch Fabric) – Front & Rear Projection
Dazian developed a unique stretch fabric screen material that is both a front and rear
projection surface. It’s widely used in rock concerts, trade shows, TV award productions,
stage, film and DJVJ productions. The characteristic that make it so versatile is the 10 foot
wide width that stretches up to 14 feet for an extra large seamless viewing surface. Trapeze
Plus™ allows for easy up and easy down installation. If you are on the road, pull it out of the
bag, stretch and hang it with no wrinkles. Trapeze Plus™ is washable and inherently fire resistant.
120” wide (10 feet) $25.95 per linear yard
Screen Goo (Paint)
Screen Goo is a revolutionary paint system that’s designed for painting a projection screen
directly on a wall. Screen Goo will produce a gain of 1 and have a very wide viewing angle.
The benefit of this product is that you can easily apply it with a roller, directly to your wall
without building a frame. (If you have the skill with paint sprayer this technique also works
well.) The product is purchased in combination of a base coat and top coat. Screen Goo is
not designed to cover blemishes or other imperfections on your wall surface so it will be
necessary for you to repair your wall before applying the paint. A solution to an imperfect wall
is to paint the Screen Goo on a tightly woven fabric and then fasten the fabric to the wall. We
have several wide-width fabrics and different price points that work well with Screen Goo.
(108” White FR Muslin and 54” or 110” FR 3-Pass Foam)
We stock 3 formulas of Screen Goo for front projection and 1 formula for rear projection. Our
stock includes a variety of sizes and complete kits that include every thing you need to apply
Screen Goo.
