My supplier has as of this morning ten pieces of the 12x5 and 6 of the 10 x 5. in stock.

I left a message for my Sales Rep after talking to the order guys.. They told me 2 bucks a sq ft at the order desk.. That is about retail from what I understand. My sales rep will typically beat that by 25 to 50%

So Ron what's the price?

I got a price from the nice girl at Rona today. $328 for 1 sheet of 5 x 12 and two sheets of precut 2.5 x 12.
After I hung up ( she woke me up ) I realized I'd only need one 5 x 12 and one sheet of 2.5 x 12. That would cover my wall except for 6 inches. Which works 'cause I intend to put my Centre channel speaker there.

Can you beat that price Ron? How much you figure shipping would be?

I went to the local Home Depot to order my sheet of 5'x10' last year and it was around $85.00 Then they wanted another $20 for delivery to the store. Wilsonart has a distribution center in Dallas so I just went by and picked it up. Can't recall the thickness, probably 1/16"

I think I paid just about what drice paid. I got my 5x10 sheet from a local wholesale supplier. Maybe it was $90 or so. I think that was a few bucks more than Lowe's/HD, but the wholesale supplier had it in stock while the big box stores had to order and were saying 10-14 days.

I picked it up from the wholesaler rolled up into about a 36" diameter roll, so I suppose the box would have to be about 36x36x60... or maybe 30x30x60. Considering how light it would be, I wouldn't think shipping would be too bad. It would be all 'dimensional weight' because of the size. I get a great deal on FedEx Ground, but I don't know how all the BS import/duty stuff works.

AR, why do you need more than the one big sheet for the screen?

I'm covering my whole wall (8x12) (-well 12 x 7.5' )with wilsonart. I haven't decided what my final screen size will be, probably 9.5 feet wide. I'm going to game at 4:3 and watch wide screen too. I haven't decided if I'll leave my projector where it is or move it back another couple of feet.

When I figure out the final size I'll hang drapes to mask it off.

Ron,
Do you have a spray rig? The original recommendation for the DW was for a large non-spray screen. It is a great no-nonsense screen, but I think spraying a screen will still give you better results.

If you want to spray, then get a good piece of MDF and some Behr UPW. This will give you a better screen than the DW.

I went by a hardware supplier to pick up some hinges today in Dallas and they have a huge stock of Wilsonart and will sell single sheets to individuals. Below is the info

Rugby Industrial Products
4541 Leston (near Regal Row and 183)
214-638-5761

Interestingly while I was waiting I started talking to a guy who has a cabinet building shop and I had told him that I used the Designer White for a projector screen and he said that he has done the same for the screen in his office's conference room.

I called the swedish importer of wilsonart 2!! times to get the same answer both times. Wilsonart HAS NO 5x10 or 5x12 they say.
Only the 4x8 Sad

They must be lying? ot have wilsonart stopped making them bigger?

I want a link to someone other in europe or eventually US that can ship on roll of 5x10 or 5x12 to sweden..
