ECT Supply Holy Screens
ECT has been appointed by three separate installation companies to provide bespoke projection screens for installations into religious buildings.
Each screen has to be large enough for all the audience to benefit, as well as fitting into the unique architecture of the older church. ECT had less than two weeks to technically advise on and manufacture a projection screen, which would fit snugly between two pillars. “Being given the chance to work on a screen suitable for such an atmospheric setting was an interesting challenge,” said Adam Flawn-Thomas, MD.
One of the solutions used was to suspend the screen on hinges. The whole unit can then be swung into the wall when not required.
Project Audio Visual installed another ECT screen into a church, making it the centre backdrop. A remote control unit allowed the screen to be slip quietly out of site, returning the building to its original serenity.
The increase in demand for projection screens in religious settings has been put down to the fact that people are looking for entertainment, even when fulfilling their spiritual needs. Special events have traditionally seen hired projection screens used, however custom screens can be made to fit into any church nook or cranny, and hinges allow them to be swung back out of the way when not required.
