What is the lifespan of an AIRSCREEN?

Very much like a car, lifespans depend on the owner. Of the thousands of our unique products sold into more than 135 countries, there are plenty of AIRSCREENS with 10 years and more on the frames. The white projection surfaces can be replaced separately when they become too unattractive after many years. A customer from Switzerland wrote to us in August 2025: „Hello, we've been operating AIRSCREENS of various sizes for over 20 years. Now our largest one is reaching the end of its lifespan. We acquired it second-hand and it's probably over 30 years old...“ Still any questions?

What about wind?

The screens have been tested in very high winds. To avoid any risk, do not use your AIRSCREEN in winds exceeding 38km/h or 24mph. A conservative approach to public and equipment safety is your strongest tool in maintaining the safety of your audience and is key to any risk management strategy relating to public events. When there is severe weather approaching on radar, deflate the AIRSCREEN. Use your tablet, computer or smartphone to keep an eye on approaching conditions.

Does it have to be dark to see a picture?

Not completely dark, but it should be at dusk when you start the movie. Outdoor movie projection is similar to the technology you see in a movie theater. The difference is that instead of turning out the lights, the sun goes down. 

What's better - the airtight or the classic model?

Go classic when you operate the AIRSCREEN in rough environments. The frame of the classic model pardons sharp objects such as sharp stones and glass. With our noise-cancelling blower flight case, the permanently running blower will not disturb the audience. The classic model inflates and deflates quicker and is considered to be the heavy duty choice by professional AV companies.

Go airtight or nano if you are typically in clean places or operate indoors screenings and want or enjoy absolute silence, the airtight models up to 24ft or 7.32m screen width are the right choice for you.

Why is the AIRSCREEN projection surface so flat and absolutely winkle-free?

Our special theatrical projection screen material together with the tensioning bungees will guarantee a perfect and wrinkle-free projection surface like in the indoor theaters. Even after storage, there will be no visible wrinkles or imperfections in the projection.

Does the AIRSCREEN support rear projection?

Rear projection is great for keeping the projector out of the audience area. With your AIRSCREEN you can easily exchange the front to a rear projection surface. But go for a real rear projection surface or a real front projection surface. It's a compromise we don't recommend if other vendors try to sell one surface that claims to be front and rear at the same time. Go for two different surfaces for the best results.
