Bringing Quality to the Surface

We visually inspected all of our materials for high-quality color rendition and contrast so you get the best product. Factors to consider when making your screen surface selection include:

Surface Types
Screen surfaces can be divided into two types of materials—Supported (non-tensioned and Unsupported (tab-tensioned).
  • Supported (Non-Tensioned): The viewing surface is laminated to a woven Fiberglass base. This base provides a flat viewing surface due to the weight and thickness of the material.


  • Unsupported (Tab-Tensioned): The viewing surface is vinyl only and has no Fiberglass base. These material must be tensioned on all four sides to provide superior flatness to the viewing surface. When tensioned properly, unsupported materials give a higher resolution image and better picture quality, therefore, when applicable, we recommend using this material for the highest quality presentation.
Screen Materials
Both the MW-16 and Hurley Superglo have set the standards for the Motion Picture Industry for over 60 years. These surfaces are versatile and well suited for most multimedia projection presentations.
