Get Your Cinema Screen Level
Spent money on a projector and screen? Don't bodge the installation with a wonky mount. Proper fitting makes all the difference to viewing quality.
💡 Pro tip: Screen height matters - center of screen should be at eye level when seated. Too high and you're craning your neck, too low and you're looking down.

🔧 DIY Tips
🔧 Tools needed
- Stud finder
- Drill
- Spirit level
- Screwdriver
- Cable for motorized screens
🎯 Key points
- Find studs or joists first
- Mark level line for brackets
- Use proper fixings into solid timber
- Check level before final tightening
- Cable routing neat for motorized
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Fixing to just plasterboard (falls down)
- Not checking level (wonky viewing)
- Screen too high (neck ache)
- Poor cable management (messy)
💡 Pro trick: For heavy screens, use toggles or cavity fixings as backup even when you've hit studs - belt and braces approach for expensive kit.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Viewing distance: Screen width should be roughly 1/3 of your viewing distance. Sit 3 metres away? Aim for a 1-metre-wide screen.
Cable hiding: For motorized screens, run power cable inside wall if possible, or use trunking to keep it tidy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fit any type of projector screen?
Yes - pull-down manual screens, motorized electric ones, fixed frame screens, whatever you've got. Ceiling-mount or wall-mount, both fine. Just need the right fixings for your wall/ceiling type.
How do you make sure it's level?
Spirit level across the mounting brackets before fixing permanently. Wonky projector screens are painfully obvious when you're watching, so getting it level matters.
What about motorized screens - how does the power work?
They need mains power, usually from a nearby socket or fused spur. I'll run cable neatly and make sure it's all safe. Some have remote controls, some wire to wall switches.
How long does installation take?
Usually 1-1.5 hours. Find studs or joists, mark up position, fix mounting brackets level, hang the screen, test it works (for motorized). Solid ceilings or tricky walls can add time.
Do I need to provide the screen?
Yes - you buy the projector screen you want. I'll install whatever you've chosen. Make sure it comes with mounting brackets if it's a wall or ceiling-mount type.
