A very common question is “can I stick my electric screen to the ceiling?”  Many people fear it’s a complicated procedure when in fact, it’s not. Below are the links to the 2-most important bits of information. 1 – know your room and product dimensions; and 2 – follow the easy instructional video.

Transcripts:

• [15:44] Customer: Hi…would I need special mounting brackets for mounting a 120” VMAX 2 in the ceiling?  If so, which ones?
• [15:49]        Rick: the VMAX 2 is designed to be mounted on the wall or on the ceiling. You will not need any special after-market product.  It’s all there.
• [15:52] Customer: If mounted to the ceiling…what is the distance from the ceiling to the top of the viewing area on a regular screen and a 24″ drop screen?
• [15:55]        Rick: The casing gives it about 4 inches more. To be more precise, it is 3.5 inches.
• [15:56]        Rick: with a 24 inch drop it will be 27.5 from the ceiling to the top of the viewing area. Here is the dimensions table:

• [15:59]        Rick: For good measures, here is an instructional video we did on ceiling installations in general: https://elitescreens.com/elitetube/Spectrum_2_Ceiling_Installation.mp4
• [15:59] Customer: great…thanks.
• [16:06]        Rick: It was my pleasure to help; have a great day.
• [16:14] Customer: one more question…if we do need to drop it about 6″ from the ceiling…to avoid pipes…what brackets do we need?
• [16:15]        Rick: We do offer an aftermarket accessory for that. We have a 6” wall bracket to bring it out from the wall:  our L brackets the ZVMAXLB6-B are a good answer.  If you would like to go over more options regarding this,   please send me a picture of your proposed installation and I can assist you with more advice.
• [16:18]        Rick: Other options can be acquired from just about any hardware store.
• [16:19] Customer: ok…got it…thanks again..
• [16:20]        Rick: My pleasure sir.
• [16:20]        Rick: Thank you for choosing Elite Screens.
