  • 11:08:37 AM       SUSAN – Hi, I am considering Elite Screens Evanesce Tab-Tension, 120-inch 16:9, Tensioned In-Ceiling Projection Screen but i’m concerned about the install.
  • 11:08:56 AM       SUSAN – We are trying to get it setup in an existing room.
  • 11:09:20 AM              Rick – Sounds like a fun project. What are your concerns?
  • 11:09:46 AM       SUSAN – There is a horizontal beam going across the room.
  • 11:09:54 AM       SUSAN – what is the dimension of the casing
  • 11:11:19 AM              Rick – I’ll be glad to assist but I want to make sure that you are installing your in-ceiling screen parallel with the ceiling joists, and not across them.  If there is a beam bisecting the room, I recommend making sure that the screen is installed parallel to it either in front or behind depending on the room dimensions. Just a moment and I’ll get the product dimensions.
  • 11:12:14 AM       SUSAN – Sorry, yes it will be parallel to the beam.  I just wanted to make sure it would fit between the joists.
  • 11:13:21 AM              Rick – The screen’s case length is 117 inches long and including the bottom flange into the measurement makes it 119.4 inches.
  • 11:15:14 AM       SUSAN – what’s the height
  • 11:15:18 AM       SUSAN – and width
  • 11:16:44 AM              Rick – the height from the bottom of the unit fully opened will be 71 inches.

  • 11:21:07 AM              Rick – Correct.  C1 is the width of the housing and C2 is the distance for the expansion bolts.
