Hi

I just installed a motorised screen 3m wide and 2,20 high. It is a used screen from a conference center and when I look at it itīs bulging quite a lot here and there.

Is this "normal"? Does it go away by time ( the screen hasnīt been used for quite a while)?
Is there some tricks to flatten it out?

Best regards Per

i ended up with wrinkles on my motorized screen. the suggested that i let it hang unrolled for a few days. that helped but in the end i got a replacement. talk to the company and see if they have any suggestions.

given my experience, i'd get a tensioned motorized screen next time. we have one at work and it's great.

If possible, leave it unrolled for a couple of WEEKS. If the wrinkles will come out at all, that will do it.

We got a brand new motorized screen at the office, and it wasn't nice and flat until a couple of weeks had passed. It's pretty flat now.

Tab-tensioned is definitely a better choice, but like everything else, the better it is, the more money.

Yep. Without a tab-tensioning wires on the sides it's pretty much a crap-shoot.

Ok

Itīs much flatter now after a couple of days but I need to stretch it in the lower corners because it hangs in the middle.

Thank you for you replyes.
