Projector mounted to your ceiling at the perfect distance and angle for your screen. Cables managed neatly, image centered and level, ready for your home cinema experience.
### The Home Cinema Feel
Big screen, dark room, surround sound - **proper home cinema setup is brilliant**. But the projector position is critical. Too close/far and the image is wrong size. Not centered and it looks terrible.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Every projector has a throw ratio that determines how far from the screen it needs to be. Before buying, check your room can accommodate your chosen projector and screen size. I can advise if you're unsure.

### Why Precision Positioning Matters
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Image perfectly fills screen | Image too big/small for screen | | Centered horizontally and vertically | Off-center, keystone correction needed | | Securely fixed to joists/solid ceiling | Wobbles, plasterboard fixings inadequate | | Cables neatly routed | Cables dangling everywhere |
**Critical measurements:** - Throw distance (projector to screen) - Screen width (determines projector position) - Ceiling height (affects cable routing) - Screen center point (for alignment)

This thing's hanging over your head, it needs to be solid. ### Step 3: Hang & Align Projector attaches to bracket, I adjust the angle until image is centered and level on screen, then run cables neatly.

Good to Know
> 🎬 **Screen mounting too?** If you need both projector and screen fitted, we can do them together in one visit. I'll ensure they're perfectly aligned to each other. **Cable lengths:** HDMI cables degrade over long runs (5m+). For longer distances, consider HDMI-over-CAT6 extenders or optical HDMI cables. I can advise based on your room. **Ceiling types:** Plasterboard ceilings need finding the joists or using serious cavity anchors. Solid ceilings are straightforward but harder to drill. Lath and plaster needs care. **Exeter's old houses:** High ceilings are actually perfect for projector mounting - plenty of clearance. The thick ceilings are solid for fixing too, just harder to drill through.
Frequently Asked Questions about Projector mounting in Honiton
How do you work out where to mount the projector?
It's all about throw distance - the gap between projector and screen. Your projector manual gives the formula based on screen size. I calculate the exact position so the image fills your screen perfectly without distortion.
Can you hide the cables?
Cables can be surface-run in trunking (included), or chased into walls/ceiling for complete hiding (charged separately like TV cable hide). HDMI and power need to reach the projector.
What about mounting to a sloped ceiling?
Most projector mounts have adjustment for ceiling angles. I can fit to sloped/vaulted ceilings - the mount compensates to keep the projector level and aimed correctly.
Do projectors need special fixings?
Projectors are heavier than you'd think (3-10kg typically). The ceiling mount needs solid fixings - ceiling joists are ideal, or proper cavity anchors rated for the weight if it's plasterboard.
How long does projector mounting take?
Usually 1-1.5 hours including cable routing and image alignment. If we're hiding cables in walls/ceiling, add another hour or so.
