Customer Testimonials

Discover how projection paint solutions enhance both commercial and residential projection environments. 

The whiteboard wall paint was extremely easy to apply

The whiteboard wall paint was extremely easy to apply – and the customer service was accessible and helpful so I was delighted to give a review for this whiteboard paint and company! As a teacher you try to present as many different ways as possible to teach a concept and having the extra large dry erase wall helped us to teach concepts, facilitate games and student bonding and write instructions. We have no problem erasing everything with a multi purpose sponge eraser! It has been a HUGE learning tool for our classroom and we are forever grateful.

Turning Complex Workflows into Clear Action

At any one time I work on 8-10 initiatives and your dry erase marker paint has enabled me to better visualize what I need to do. It’s useful for brainstorming and process evaluation, so much so that we’ve recently purchased it for our marketing department. It’s a great fit for our company and a 5 start review for whiteboard paint.

Functionality & Performance

Does the Black Projector Screen Paint function effectively with blended projections?

In the realm of creating captivating and dynamic visual experiences, blending projections is a widely used method in various fields such as art displays, theaters, and extensive presentations. To ensure seamless and unified projections, selecting the right projection screen is essential. The projection screen paint presents an excellent option for blending multiple projections onto one surface. Its advanced formulation is tailored to enhance the blending process, yielding remarkable outcomes.

Successful blending requires precise colour fidelity, consistent brightness, and exceptional light diffusion to create smooth transitions between projected images. Smarter Surfaces projection screen paint was engineered considering these factors, enabling you to produce a cohesive and immersive visual display.

For larger screens, the black projector paint removes the necessity for heavy and costly physical screens, offering a more adaptable and economical alternative for blending projections. Transform any area into an engaging canvas where multiple projections can seamlessly merge, captivating your viewers.

What Makes the Projection Paints Acoustically Transparent?

The Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC) measures how much sound a material absorbs. Tests on a 12mm gypsum board showed identical results for both unpainted and painted surfaces (α = 0.04-0.07), with values varying slightly by sound frequency. This confirms that Smarter Surfaces paints are acoustically transparent, as they do not affect sound absorption.

Is the Black Projector Screen Paint Effective for Both 2D and 3D Projectors?

Our complete collection of paints is designed to work seamlessly with both 2D and 3D projectors, ensuring peak performance no matter the projection mode. When a 3D image is projected onto Smarter Surfaces paint, it effortlessly renders the desired effect, creating an immersive viewing experience when used with 3D glasses.

What Does It Mean for Black Projector Screen Paint to be ‘Polarity Preserving’?

3D projectors function by projecting two slightly different images that overlap on the screen. These images pass through specialized optical filters, which cause the light to be polarized differently for each image. When viewing the two images through specific 3D glasses, each lens obstructs one of the images, so your left eye perceives one image while your right eye sees the other. Thus, the projection screen used mustn't alter the polarity of the light when utilizing a 3D projector. All of Smarter Surfaces paint products are "polarity preserving," meaning that the image displayed will maintain the same polarity as intended, preserving the complete 3D effect. 

Safety & Environmental

What type of personal protective equipment should I use while painting?

When applying Black Projector Screen Paint, use the gloves provided in the kit. And, it is recommended to wear safety glasses. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during the painting process.
