The durability of a screen does not only depend on the quality of the material but also on the processing and on-site conditions. After several years of use, a projection screen may develop weak spots due to normal storage and use, many of these will be hard to see when projected upon but some may start to show over time. Additionally, screens can be damaged by careless handling and by being stored and moved in a cold environment. Years of constant cycles of hanging, removing and storing, such as is common practice in repertory theatres, will inevitably cause some damage to a screen, shortening its lifespan. Extreme temperature fluctuations from temperatures around 105° F (40° C) to temperatures just above freezing will certainly damage a PVC screen.
