Draper Access Series E

The screen uses two independent motors: one motor lowers the projection surface, while the second motor automatically opens and closes the ceiling panel. This allows the entire unit to retract completely into the ceiling, leaving a clean, flush finish when the screen is not in use.

Yes, professional installation is strongly recommended. Because this is a ceiling-recessed unit designed for integration into the structure of your room, it requires precise carpentry and electrical work to ensure the case is mounted correctly and the ceiling panel operates smoothly.

The screen uses a fiberglass-backed material that relies on the weight of the bottom dowel to maintain tension. While it provides a reliable, flat surface for most standard home theater setups, it does not have the side-tensioning cables found on premium tab-tensioned models.

The unit comes standard with a wall switch interface. If you prefer remote control operation, you will need to purchase a compatible third-party control system or a Draper remote kit separately.

This specific model is not rated for 4K or 8K resolution. It is best suited for standard 1080p projection setups where a high-quality, reliable surface is the priority over ultra-high-definition pixel density.

Yes, the case is designed for early-phase mounting. You can install the housing during the initial construction and add the screen mechanism later, which helps protect the screen surface from dust and damage during the final stages of your renovation.
