Unique Ideas for a screen in your home.

What is a really big screen? Well a 65” LCD on the wall is big, but for a really big screen experience there are a couple of better ways to go….

Starglas Rear Projection

When it comes to unique large screens, no one does it better than K&W Audio.  Stewart Filmscreen, a supplier to K&W Audio has come up with a rather inspired surface as their latest offering, called Starglas, a glass surface that allows for rear-projection. What makes Stewart Filmscreen Starglas unique is the fact that, when used properly, you can view huge images in full lighting conditions, making a Starglas installation more like massive plasma or an LCD then a front-projection system.  It’s like viewing the film on the world’s largest plasma, and looks like a sheet of glass. 

Going one step further, you can even use Starglas outdoors for a unique home theater experience by your pool, deck or barbecue.  Don’t worry about damaging or marring your Starglas surface either - its tempered glass is rated for commercial applications and can be cleaned via hose or perhaps a little more prudently, with Windex.

The performance and cool factor of Stewart Filmscreen Starglas just blows all other display devices and surfaces out of the water, in sizes from 126 to 204 inches.  You can install it in all sorts of unique ways indoors too. Suspended on steel cables, (effectively floating in space), on a table top or even  in a floor and, provided you can mount a projector properly it creates a very cool James Bond-like effect. 

Starglas runs about $300 per square foot, which is quite a bargain, considering the benefits it provides over a huge plasma or LCD display, which retail for easily six figures.  There is a caveat regarding Starglas though.  It will require our professional design expertise, as for the right result you need to cut a hole in your wall behind the screen to hide the projection source. The proper location is dependent on a few factors we need to establish, including your projectors particular specifications. So, the initial design for the room element is best left to professionals. While not as simple as the picture-hanging technique, often used for flat-panel displays these days, the performance and cool factor of Starglas blows all other displays out of the water. 

Cabaret

Another elegant creation offered by Stewart Filmscreen is this innovative approach to roll down screens.  This stylish offering allows for the creation of media rooms and home theaters within dens, recreation rooms, or any other home living spaces, and they can be hidden away at a moments notice.  With Stewart Filmscreen’s Cabaret the video screen is housed in a stylish aluminum valance, available in various finishes. It can be customized to taste with various colors, fabrics & even accented with mood lighting that shines from the top of the valance in your choice of cobalt blue, or white to further enhance the space. 

This unique customization level allows the screen housing to become a beautiful enhancement to any multimedia environment, while keeping the video screen completely out of sight when not in use. Its sleek and contemporary design makes it possible to install a front projection system into any size space, with any décor and blend into the environment. 

The housing can be as wide as 16 feet, while the screen it houses can be smaller, and descend from any point along its length. That gives the designer the ability to install the housing like a valance, and ensure the screen drops only where it looks its best. Another great feature of the Stewart Filmscreen Cabaret is that it can be installed above a flat panel television or a picture frame too. When the screen is lowered, it won’t touch either.  The versatility of this unit allows it to feel at home within a traditional suburban living room or a sleek and contemporary loft.

The icing on the cake is the fact that Stewart Filmscreen produces the finest quality absolutely best performing theater screen available, so all that leading edge style has the highest possible performance as well.
