Projector Screens in Calgary, AB — Free Shipping Included
TrueThrow ships cinema-grade projector screens directly to Calgary with free shipping, no brokerage fees, and delivery in 5–7 business days. Calgary homeowners regularly choose larger screen sizes than most Canadian markets — the city's large suburban homes and culture of dedicated basement entertainment spaces make it one of our most active markets for 110"–130" screens.
Calgary's Home Theater Advantage
Calgary's housing market is characterised by large detached homes — particularly in communities like Signal Hill, Tuscany, Cranston, Mahogany, and Evanston — where finished basements with 9-foot ceilings and 25–35 foot depths are standard. This gives Calgary homeowners access to screen sizes and throw distances that simply aren't possible in a downtown condo.
For a dedicated basement home theater, you don't need an ALR screen — you need a large, flat, neutral surface that maximises the projector's native contrast in a dark environment. That means either the Matte White Screen (best colour accuracy, widest viewing angle) or the High-Contrast Grey Screen (best black depth when the room can't be fully blacked out).
Basement Home Theater Setup
Calgary basements typically allow for:
- Screen size: 110"–130" diagonal comfortably fits a 25+ ft deep basement with a standard 1.2:1–1.5:1 throw ratio at 3–4 metres
- Ceiling height: 9 ft ceilings leave ample room for a ceiling mount at standard height with a 130" screen and bottom edge at 60–70 cm from the floor
- Room width: 130" diagonal in 16:9 is approximately 288 cm wide — fits comfortably in a 14+ ft wide basement room
For the projector, a ceiling mount at 3–4 metres is the most common Calgary basement configuration. Standard throw projectors (Sony VPL-XW55, BenQ W4000i, Optoma UHZ65) work excellently in this setup paired with a TrueThrow fixed frame screen.
Above-Grade Living Rooms
Not every Calgary buyer is installing in a basement. For main-floor living rooms with natural light, the Grey Crystal ALR Screen or Black Crystal ALR Screen handles ambient light from windows and overhead fixtures. For UST laser projectors on a TV credenza, the Fresnel ALR UST Screen is required.
New Builds — Planning Ahead
If you're purchasing or building a new home in Calgary and planning a home theater room, consider rough-in planning during construction:
- Run HDMI and power conduit to the ceiling mount location before drywall
- Position the screen wall opposite the ceiling mount with 3–5 metres of throw distance
- Plan for a dedicated 20A circuit near the projector mount for a clean installation
- TrueThrow screens ship with the mounting hardware for standard stud and drywall installation — no specialist AV contractor required

Frequently Asked Questions — Calgary
Do you ship projector screens to Calgary?
Yes — all TrueThrow screens ship free to Calgary and all of Alberta. Delivery is 5–7 business days. No customs or brokerage fees.
What size projector screen is best for a Calgary home?
110"–120" for a finished basement, 120"–130" for a dedicated theater room. Calgary's large suburban homes make bigger screens more practical than most cities. See our Screen Size Guide for exact throw distance calculations.
What is the best projector screen for a Calgary basement?
For a dark basement, the Matte White Screen (best colour accuracy) or High-Contrast Grey Screen (best black depth). ALR screens are designed for ambient-light rooms — they're less necessary in a dedicated basement theater.
