Da-Lite Lace and Grommet Screen Surfaces - Manual (Page 2)

2
Da-Lite Lace and Grommet screens are custom made to meet
the requirements for large surface installation of a relatively
permanent nature. Great care is taken in the production of these
screens to assure extreme serviceability and excellence of
picture reproduction. Maximum overall size is based on
fabric type.
The Lace and Grommet screen may be ordered in the fabrics
listed below – all of which are flame retardant and mildew
resistant. Trimmed with a strong 2-1/2" webbing and grommets
spaced uniformly every 6 inches. Lacing cord, included at a
slight extra charge, is laced through grommets and fastened to
hooks on frame. . . providing a completely wrinkle-free surface.
No frames are furnished, but suggestions for their construction
are provided on page 3.
Lace and Grommet style screens are not recommended unless
the stage has a fly loft for safe storage of the screen when
it is not in use.
Screens are priced per square foot on overall screen sizes, which
are 5" larger each way than picture area. When ordering Lace
and Grommet custom made screens, please give the following
dimensions:
1. Overall size, including black webbing.
2. Net picture area, excluding black webbing.
Approximate shipping weight, 1/2 lb. per square foot.

Manufacturer's Precaution
Suggested Methods Of Installation
Each Da-lite Screen is carefully inspected, wrapped and packed
in a manner that insures delivery to destination in first class
condition. Careless handling of screens during installation can result in screen surface being wrinkled, torn or damaged.
Da-Lite Screen Company does not assume responsibility
for such damage.
Conditions in theaters vary so greatly that no set of instructions
would be complete for each theater. The following suggestions,
regarding the installation, when supplemented with proper care
and good judgment in meeting local conditions will result in a
rapid and satisfactory installation.
Installing Screen to the frame: First, and most important, is to
handle the screen in a manner to prevent its being wrinkled
during installation.
Safest method is to lay the frame flat on a clean floor and unroll
the screen inside the frame. Tie it in at all four corners to ensure
centering in the frame. Then lacing should be installed around all
four sides. Do not attempt to draw lacing tight until after the
frame is raised to a vertical position.
When necessary to install the screen to a frame already erected,
and one that cannot be taken down, it is necessary to stand the
rolled screen on end in front of the frame and tie it at frequent
intervals to the top of the frame as it is unrolled.
Before starting the actual lacing, we recommend tying the screen
to all four corners of the frame to insure its being spaced properly
inside the frame.
Things to Remember: Practically every installation will have its
own individual problem. For instance, you may find in using your
old frame that it is not large enough to lace the screen on the
inside, in which case you would place the hooks on the front and
outer edge of the frame. For this purpose we recommend using
roofing nails every six inches, leaving one-fourth inch out of the
wood for the lacing cord.
