First of all, I am jealous that you have a screen that large. Secondly, I can't speak from personal experience but I don't believe you are going to have an issue. Typically those screens work well when you want to flush mount speakers behind the screen. I considered buying the same type of material just to hide my speakers, but the cost wasn't worth it. I would be interested to know if you have any issues at all. IMHO I think you will be fine.

I found out today, that the screen I bought is a back projection screen, it's so the projector goes in the back. Anyone have experience with this? I want to use it as a frontal projection screen.

I believe there are settings on most projectors to use it as a rear projection system....

but if you want FP, then you probably need a new screen.
