Jordan O'BrienAWE Europe is extending its distribution deal with Draper, with the UK-based distributor now set to stock both fixed and tab tensioned electric models featuring an ambient light-rejecting fabric – ideal for home cinema installations.
Draper ReAct is an ambient light-rejecting fabric that enhances colour and contrast in situations where a complete room blackout is either not possible, or not desired.
The Clarion fixed screens are available as standard in a range of sizes, from 92in to 133in, ensuring users will get the perfect screen for their home cinema environment.
There are also Adaptive tab-tensioned electric versions ranging from 86in to 104in with virtually any other screen size available in both models to order.
“We are enjoying a great relationship with Draper and identified the amazing ReAct fabric as being a perfect product for many home cinemas” comments Stuart Tickle, managing director of AWE.
“This fabric enables end users to enjoy superior performance in ambient light, which is ideal for a multipurpose space where some lighting is desired. Not everyone wants or can achieve total blackout!”
On the Clarion fixed frame version, a black Vel-Tex covered aluminium frame forms an attractive 3.8cm border around the screen. Without the need for snaps or tools, the fabric attaches seamlessly to the frame to form a perfectly smooth viewing surface. The Vel-Tex finish promises to eliminate all reflections on the silver/grey screen which has the same 1.0 gain as a matt white screen.
Draper has a comprehensive product range, including fixed frame, on-wall and in-ceiling solutions. They are manufactured with checks for quality, consistency and uniformity from start to finish.
To ensure optimum picture quality in differing viewing environments, Draper screens include a number of specifically engineered fabrics, including Matt White, acoustically transparent NanoPerf and ambient light-rejecting ReAct versions.
