Finishing Styles Explained

Every impact screen uses the same high-quality material — the difference is in how the edges are finished. Choose the style that best fits your mounting setup.

Classic

  • Durable 2.5" black vinyl border around the entire screen
  • Metal grommets installed along the perimeter
  • Quick and easy mounting with bungee cords or hooks
  • The go-to choice for a straightforward installation

Classic with Flaps

  • Everything in Classic, plus sewn-in 7" nylon side flaps
  • Flaps wrap around your frame so you can tuck in safety cushions
  • Loop fastener strips along the flap edges for a secure hold
  • Hides the grommets for a cleaner, more finished look

Classic with Loop Fastener

  • Everything in Classic, plus a 1" strip of loop fastener along the edges
  • Attach curtains, barrier nets, or padding with hook-and-loop strips
  • Great for DIY builders who want maximum flexibility

Why This Screen

Pro-grade, piece by piece

Designed for Rooms with Ambient Light

Designed for Rooms with Ambient Light

Not every simulator room is a blacked-out cave. The High-Contrast Gray Impact Screen is specifically engineered for spaces where ambient light is a factor — garages, basements with windows, bonus rooms, or any area that isn't completely dark.

The gray surface rejects ambient light while maintaining rich, deep blacks that white screens simply cannot deliver in lit environments.

Superior Contrast Ratio

Superior Contrast Ratio

The secret is in the gray surface. While white screens wash out in anything more than complete darkness, the High-Contrast Gray delivers a dramatically better contrast ratio — deeper blacks, richer colors, and a more cinematic viewing experience.

Your simulator software, courses, and shot data will look noticeably sharper and more vibrant, even with the lights on.

No Blackout Room Required

No Blackout Room Required

One of the biggest challenges in building a golf simulator is controlling light. The High-Contrast Gray screen eliminates the need for expensive blackout curtains, window treatments, or dedicated dark rooms.

Play with the garage door cracked, the basement lights on, or in a room with natural light — and still get a great projected image.

Premium-Grade Construction

Premium-Grade Construction

The High-Contrast Gray uses the same heavy-duty woven construction as Carl's Place premium screens — tight weave, thick material, and reinforced edges. It's built to absorb the hardest driver swings while delivering a smooth, consistent projection surface.

Quiet ball impact, long lifespan, and the best image quality in less-than-ideal lighting — all in one screen.

Carl's Place High Contrast Gray screen in full enclosure setup

A high quality impact screen makes a repeated difference in your enjoyment of playing sim golf. I’m going on my 6th year of using one of their impact screens — quiet on impact, balls drop softly with minimal bounce-back.

Carl's Place High Contrast Gray screen with driving range displayed

It is flat as a board, the weave looks nice — sound is nothing that made me think about it, which is good. Excellent bounce back for a premium screen.
