Elite Screens IHome112HW2-E16 Evanesce 112" In-Ceiling Projector Screen

The Elite Screens Evanesce IHome112HW2-E16 is built for the install where the screen itself should be invisible until the moment it's needed. At 112 inches diagonal in a 16:9 format, it delivers a true cinematic viewing surface — 54.9 by 97.6 inches of MaxWhite FG fiberglass-backed material with a 1.1 gain and 180-degree viewing angle that accommodates wide seating without the hot-spotting issues common on high-gain materials. When retracted, the entire assembly disappears into the ceiling cavity, leaving a clean architectural finish that no wall-mount or drop-ceiling screen can replicate. The 16-inch black masking drop frames the image properly without requiring additional trim work.

From an integration standpoint, the Evanesce is well-equipped for both residential and light commercial installations. The swift tubular motor is controlled via included IR and RF remotes and a 3-way wall switch, with a 5-12V trigger for integration with projector control systems or whole-room AV processors. NFPA 701 flame retardancy, GreenGuard Gold certification, and Plenum Rating mean it meets building codes for commercial, educational, and government spaces without additional modifications. The tradeoff is installation complexity — this screen requires ceiling cavity access and proper rough-in, and is a job best left to a professional AV installer. It is also explicitly incompatible with ultra-short-throw projectors, so throw distance planning is essential before specifying this screen.
