Harkness makes screens for use as cycloramas in live theatre and opera productions, or Film and TV studios. These can be front projection, rear projection or combination front and rear projection. Multiple projected images can be blended, and screens can be used for lighting effects as well as projection.
We produce large custom screens for applications such as
Event screens, ideal for use with the current generation of powerful video projectors, provide a higher quality projected image than can be obtained using cloth. The screen can provide the entire set backdrop, which can be more flexible than using drapes and built-in screens. Harkness Screens provide the ideal surfaces to ensure the highest quality presentation for organizers and designers.

For many of the custom events for which Harkness makes screens, such as product launches, conferences, awards ceremonies and film premieres, the staging, lighting, video and projection equipment used is supplied by the Rental and Staging sector. Screen surfaces suitable for front projection, rear projection, combined front and rear projection, and also for special scenic or lighting effects, are available. Screens can be custom made to exact size and shape (including special shapes) or screen material can be supplied off roll. Harkness Screens does not itself rent screens, but contact us to be directed to a screen rental company.
Harkness Easi-Rects and Monoblox 64 are widely used in the rental sector for temporary screens used at exhibitions, conferences, training seminars, and more. A range of sizes and surfaces are available ex-stock. Folding screen systems are only available from our UK office.
