Life Style Section 6: About Elite Screens 6.1 Company Description Elite Screens Inc. is a California based company that specializes in making quality commercial and home-theater projection screens for the retail and custom install sales channels. Our company began as an innovative venture into the projection market by manufacturing veterans from the AV/IT industry. Elite Screens quickly established itself as an entry level commercial and home theater screen manufacturer. This was accomplished by making a quality product cost effective with a focus on mass-producing screen material, sizes and aspect ratios that were most commonly preferred by AV customers in general. We focused on uniformity with what would match the mainstream demographic while including extra features that are not usually included by other manufacturers. In time, we progressed from just retail sales into the realm of custom installer/integrator manufacture as our numerous reviews and awards will attest. We stand behind our product and are so certain of customer satisfaction with the quality of our product that we offer a 2-year manufacturer's warranty which is twice the industry standard. In our continued devotion to excellence in products and service, we are committed to implementing green practices with our production. We have adopted manufacturing methods that promote conservative regulation of our energy needs.
