A floor rising projector screen is one of the most elegant and space-saving solutions for modern home theater and UST projector setups.
Unlike ceiling-mounted screens, it rises smoothly from the floor cabinet, making it ideal for living rooms, offices, and conference spaces.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to install a floor rising projector screen step by step and share professional tips for the best viewing experience.
What Is a Floor Rising Projector Screen?
A floor rising projector screen is a motorized screen that extends upward from a slim floor cabinet.
It is especially popular for:
- ultra short throw (UST) projectors
- living room laser TV setups
- modern home theaters
- conference rooms
This type of screen offers a clean appearance and does not require wall or ceiling mounting.
Many models are also available in ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) materials for bright-room performance.
Tools You Need Before Installation
Before starting, prepare the following tools and accessories:
- tape measure
- level ruler
- screwdriver
- power outlet
- projector remote control
- UST projector
Having everything ready will make the installation process much easier.
Step 1: Choose the Right Position
The first step is to decide where the screen cabinet will be placed.
For best results, position the screen:
- directly in front of the seating area
- on a stable and flat surface
- close to a power outlet
For UST projector setups, the projector is usually placed directly in front of the screen cabinet.
Make sure there is enough space for the screen to rise smoothly.
Step 2: Measure the Projector Distance
This is one of the most important steps.
Different projectors have different throw ratios, so always check the manufacturer’s specifications.
For most UST projectors, the distance between the projector and the screen is relatively short.
For example:
- 100 inch screen → approx. 20–35 cm
- 120 inch screen → approx. 30–45 cm
Use a tape measure to ensure accurate positioning.
Incorrect distance may cause image distortion.
Step 3: Connect Power and Test Screen Movement
Plug the floor rising screen into the power outlet.
Use the remote control or smart trigger to test the screen movement.
Check whether the screen:
- rises smoothly
- stops at the correct height
- remains flat
A high-quality floor rising ALR screen should have excellent screen tension and flatness.
Step 4: Align the Projector Image
Turn on the projector and align the image with the screen.
For UST projectors, this step is especially important.
Adjust:
- horizontal position
- vertical height
- keystone correction
- focus
The projected image should perfectly match the screen borders.
Step 5: Fine Tune Screen Leveling
Use a level ruler to make sure the screen cabinet is perfectly horizontal.
Even a slight tilt may affect image alignment.
If necessary, adjust the feet or base support.
