Do floor-rising projector screens need ceiling installation?

No. A floor-rising screen stores in a housing at floor level and rises upward on activation - no ceiling mount, no ceiling penetrations required. This makes floor-rising screens the right choice for concrete ceilings, rental properties, heritage buildings, and any space where ceiling drilling is not permitted.

How does a floor-rising projector screen work?

The screen fabric is stored inside a floor-level console housing. When activated (via remote, wall switch, or smart home integration), a motorized mechanism drives the screen upward to its full extended position. When not in use, the screen retracts back into the console, leaving the room looking completely clear.

What is the difference between a floor-rising and a ceiling-mount motorized screen?

Ceiling-mount motorized screens deploy downward from a ceiling housing and are mechanically simpler, easier to service, and typically more reliable long-term. Floor-rising screens deploy upward from a floor console and require no ceiling work. Choose floor-rising when ceiling mount is not physically possible or when aesthetics require the housing to be at floor level.

How much floor space does a floor-rising screen console require?

The floor console sits 15-20 cm above finished floor level when retracted. Its footprint matches the screen width plus the housing frame. Most installations leave the console surface-mounted against the wall; some recess it flush into a floor cut-out for a fully hidden result. Plan the console position to align the screen centre with your projector throw axis.

Motorized Floor-Rising UST Projector Screen (HBSI TPU) — TrueThrow

Electric Floor-Rising

The Ultimate Living Room Cinema Screen

Electric and motorized projector screens hide completely when not in use and deploy silently on demand — no ceiling mount, no wall bracket, no permanent installation visible in the room. The TrueThrow HBSI TPU rises from a sleek floor console at the touch of a button, transforming any living room into a cinema-quality viewing environment in seconds.

The HBSI TPU is the only motorized projector screen in Canada engineered specifically for ultra-short-throw laser TVs. Its lenticular carbon-black ALR fabric rejects ambient ceiling light while the motorized floor-rising mechanism eliminates the ceiling work of a traditional drop-down electric screen. Variable-height stops let you fill any aspect ratio — 16:9, 2.35:1, or a custom ratio — from a single screen without wall modifications.

Available from 84″ to 130″ diagonal, the HBSI TPU ships direct-to-door across Canada with no brokerage fees and includes a 1-year warranty. Our engineering team advises on floor-console placement and UST laser TV compatibility before you purchase.

Why Choose a Floor-Rising Electric Screen?

A floor-rising motorized screen is the cleanest solution for living rooms and open-plan spaces where a permanently visible screen would disrupt the décor. When not in use, the screen retracts fully into the console at floor level, leaving the wall completely bare. Compatible with Hisense TriChroma, Samsung The Premiere, LG CineBeam, AWOL Vision, BenQ V series, and all other major UST laser TV brands.
