ABOUT WALLSCREEN 2.5
Your WallScreen 2.5 fixed frame supports virtually all projection applications. The Velux finish is
designed to absorb any projector overscan. The WallScreen 2.5 features angled corners and a
beveled edge that brings the image area closer to the front of the frame.
The WallScreen 2.5 features snaps and brackets that move on the frame to allow for
adjustments. Rear projection is available as an option. The hanging bar is the standard mount.
Other options include the Wall Board Mount, the Eye Bolt Mount (Hanging), and Aperture Mount.
USING THIS MANUAL FOR INSTALLATION
The WallScreen 2.5 screen is designed for easy installation. There are no user-serviceable parts

PREPARING THE INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Note:Bolts and other fasteners for the screen are standard gauge and standard sizes used in the
U.S., regardless of the installation country. For this reason, sizes are in inches rather than metric
measurements.
UNPACKING
Be sure to unpack carefully in a clean area. Use special care when handling the screen so that it
does not become soiled or damaged. If you plan to repack your screen and hardware for
transportation to another location, you may wish to photograph or make a note of how it was
packed. Retain the packing material for future use, if desired.
⚠
CAUTION
Do not stand on the screen tube or store it on its end. This will cause screen damage. If you are
not planning to install the screen immediately, make sure it remains horizontal during storage.

FRAME ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect the frame members by matching the numbered dots on the ends of the members.
2. Secure the frame members with the supplied 5/16-18 x 1/2” hex head bolts (see Figure 1).

HANGING BAR MOUNT
NOTE: Professional mounting techniques should be used. Stewart Filmscreen cannot be
liable for substandard or faulty installations. Failure to comply with the instructions and
guidance contained in this manual may result in voiding your warranty.
To accurately position the frame, mount the hanging bar and temporarily hang the frame before
attaching the screen material. On the bottom of the frame, there are magnets you can slide to line
up the steel pucks with wall studs. If the wall is not perfectly flat, the force of the magnet may cause
the frame to bend. For this reason, shims can be placed between the wall and steel pucks so that
the frame remains straight. The screen should not be attached to the frame at this point (see Figures
3-6).
1. Identify the location of wall studs where you
can securely mount the hanging bar.
2. Use a level to accurately position the hanging
bar on the wall (see Figure 2).
3. Drill holes through the bar into the studs.
4. Use the provided screws or other appropriate
fasteners to secure the hanging bar to the wall
studs.
Note: A minimum of three (3) screws are
recommended to safely secure the frame.
More screws are needed for heavier screens.
5. Recheck to make sure the bar is level.
6. Hang the assembled frame, without the screen attached, on the hanging bar to ensure that it is
correctly mounted.
7. Mark the wall where you will mount the steel pucks to studs that will align with the magnets
fastened on the frame.
Note: Find studs that allow the pucks and magnets to be positioned approximately 12” to 24”
from the edge of the frame on each side.
8. Remove the frame. Drill into the studs and mount the steel pucks with the provided 2-3/8”
screws or other appropriate fasteners. Use shims as needed.
⚠
CAUTION
‣Be careful not to touch or scratch the viewing surface.

pucks mounted on the wall.
10. Remove the frame. Follow the steps for attaching the screen to the frame (pages 15-16).
11. Your WallScreen is now ready to hang in its final position (see Figures 3-6).

WALL BOARD MOUNT
NOTE: Professional mounting techniques should be used. Stewart Filmscreen cannot be
liable for substandard or faulty installations. Failure to comply with the instructions and
guidance contained in this manual may result in voiding your warranty.
1. Lay assembled frame face down
on a clean surface.
2. Fit wall boards to the outside of
the brackets already attached to
the frame.
3. Bolt wall boards to brackets using
the supplied 3/4” hex head bolts
(see Figure 7).
Note: Depending on the size of
the screen, the number of wall
boards may vary. Temporary
attachment of the wall boards to
the frame for the purpose of
positioning the frame and
brackets on the wall.
4. Without the screen material
attached, position the frame and
wall boards on the wall (see
Figure 8).
5. Make sure the unit is level and
plumb. You may need to use
shims between the boards and
the wall to achieve vertical
plumb.
6. Align the wall board holes with
wall studs, mark and drill holes in
the wall that align with the wall
board holes.

WALL BOARD MOUNT (CONTINUED)
7. Remove the boards from
the frame and attach them
to the wall using the
provided hardware or other
appropriate fasteners such
as lag bolts, wall anchors,
molly bolts, wood carriage
screws, etc. (see Figure 9).
8. Attach the screen to the
frame (see pages 15-16).
9. Attach the frame/screen
assembly to the previously
mounted wall boards on the
wall using the 3/4” hex head
bolts (see Figure 10).
Note: On some custom sized
frames, the use of additional
“back support braces” is
required. These vertical support
braces assure parallel top and
bottom frame member
alignment once the screen has
been attached to the frame. Do
not install the screen/frame
without required back braces.

EYE BOLT MOUNT (HANGING)
NOTE: Professional mounting techniques should be used. Stewart Filmscreen cannot be
liable for substandard or faulty installations. Failure to comply with the instructions and
guidance contained in this manual may result in voiding your warranty.
1. Attach the screen to the frame (see pages 15-16).
2. Use the Eye Bolt Mount to suspend the screen. Eye bolts are already secured to the frame
making your WallScreen ready for installation to an appropriate surface (see Figure 11).
Note: On some custom sized frames the use of additional “back support braces” is required. These
vertical support braces assure parallel top and bottom frame member alignment once the screen has
been attached to the frame. If back braces are included, do not install the screen/frame without
required back braces.
⚠
CAUTION
‣Be careful not to touch or scratch the viewing surface.
‣A false ceiling is
not

ATTACHING THE SCREEN TO THE FRAME (CONTINUED)
4. Place the frame over the screen, snap side down (see Figure 14).
5. Starting with the snaps on the top corners and then horizontally along the top while lifting the frame
with one hand, snap the screen into the frame. Gently allow the screen to stretch onto the snaps.
Do not jerk, wrinkle, or crease the screen material, as it can be damaged (see Figure 14).
6. Lift the frame to a vertical position to finish attaching the sides and bottom row of the snaps (see
Figure 15).
Note: If there are any wrinkles or puckers on the screen, the snaps on the frame can be adjusted
side to side. Lay the frame viewing side down on a clean surface. A movement of 1/16” to 1/8”
(1.6mm to 3.2mm) is usually sufficient to eliminate puckers.

CARING FOR AND CLEANING THE SCREEN
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
With reasonable care, you may expect many years of dependable use of your Stewart projection
screen.
FOR VINYL SCREEN MATERIALS ONLY
The surface of your screen is delicate, so we encourage you to keep your screen clean. Special
attention to these instructions should be followed when cleaning.
‣Avoid getting any foreign objects on the screen, as cleaning may prove very difficult. It may not be
possible to remove scratches, paint, ink, etc.
‣A draftsman-style brush may be used to lightly whisk away any loose dirt or dust particles. ( This type
of brush is usually available at office supply stores.)
‣For tougher spots, you can make a cleaning solution using a water-based detergent and warm water.
To make the solution, mix one-part Simple Green, 409, or another water-based industrial cleaner
with three parts warm water. Moisten a clean cotton cloth, or cotton swab with this solution, moisten
the stained area, and gently lift off the stain. Never use an aggressive scrubbing action as you could
damage the screen surface by removing the optical coating. Re-moisten the area with clean water
and dab dry with a clean sponge or cotton cloth. Any residual watermarks will evaporate on their
own in a few minutes.
‣Contact tech support at Stewart Filmscreen if you have questions about removing difficult spots.
VELUX™ COVERING
‣Use a lint roller to remove particles from the Velux, which is the material covering the frame.
‣A brush may be used to comb (lift) the nap of the Velux material to eliminate depression marks.
FOR NON-VINYL SCREEN MATERIAL
If you have concerns with one of our non-vinyl Stewart Filmscreen screen materials, contact tech
support at Stewart Filmscreen.
⚠
CAUTION
‣Do not use any other cleaning materials on the screen.
‣Do not use chemicals, solvents, or alcohol-based cleaners to clean the screen. Use only
commercially available, water-based degreaser or liquid dish soap.
‣Do not use chemicals, solvents, or liquid cleaners to clean the Velux covering.
‣Do not fold or crease the screen.
