Elite Screens Announces Partnership with the Projection Screen Store for the Sale of Manual and Electric “Roll-Up” Screens to the Commercial Market.

Elite Screens ProAV provides a wide variety of “roll-up” projection screens for the commercial integrator channel. In order to reach this highly specialized group of AV professionals, it’s essential for manufacturers like Elite to partner with industry pros who have the requisite know how to propel the channel forward. For this reason, Elite Screens is proud to partner with Projector Screen Store.

“The teams at ProjectorScreenStore.com are extremely knowledgeable and professional.” Said Doni Myers, Sales Manager for Elite Screens Inc. “They are dedicated to recommending the appropriate ELITE SCREEN product for any customer’s setup.” Having the right product isn’t enough. There must be that human touch in the form of industry veterans who can come into an installation and tell the facilities manager what would work best and how the end results will surpass their most optimistic expectations.

The dynamic application of retractable (aka. “Roll-up”) projector screens introduces a level of versatility to the equation so that regardless if it is a small training room, conference room or other large venue, the open wall space is not limited to only one function. Perhaps that room’s wall space has windows, your whiteboard or other features of your day-to-day operations. Simply put, a retractable wall/ceiling projection screen presents itself when needed and disappears when you have other needs for your valuable workspace. Retractable screens may be motorized or non-electric (manual).

Manual (aka. Non-electric) are ideal for structures that are not adequately wired to support electronic devices or it is simply preferred to have one less device drawing from your power supply.
