Screen suggestions

I have an Optoma UHD60 projector and am looking to project it onto about 140'' screen mounted from above. The room is being built currently and will be done in about a month. I plan on using both blinds and blackout curtains, but I'm sure some light will come in, esp from the entrance to the room (this will not be in a basement) and I plan on watching things during the day, not just at night. If your budget is around $100 for the screen (I have a friend that can make a frame) is the Carl's Flexigray Screen Material the best option ? Has anyone with the same relative conditions used this and can advise? If not what is a better option for around that price range?

Also.. after reading many of the threads on here I am seeing Spandex might even be a better option than the Carl's.

Flexi-Grey "as is" or Flexi-White sprayed with Silver Fire (...the best choice possible...)

Simply put... The spandex is of a much lower gain. Unless someone has very specific reasons why spandex would be preferred under normal use, I personally would never suggest it unless someone did in fact specifically needed for acoustic transparency. If such was the case, then yes, absolutely spandex is a very preferred material and worse compensating for the loss of gain. If not... No way.
