This interactive curtain demonstration provided by one of our main trading partners JC Joels has been included for the benefit of those in need of some simple clarification regarding typical 'front of house' stage curtains

 

"Made to Measure" curtains

Stage Lighting Centre provides a full curtain make up service which can include visiting your venue to measure up width and drop and give advice on the most appropriate materials.
A wide variety of cloths are available including velevts for proscenium arches and bolton twill or wool serge for on stage drapes, all in a choice of colours.
The information we will need before quoting includes:
Width = Be sure to include overlap.
Drop = The distance from the curtain eyes to the floor.
Fullness = The amount of material gathered up with the width, commonly between 50% & 100%.
Hooks & Tapes = Sewn in tab hooks or tie tapes for professional curtains or rufflette hooks for smaller drops.
Base = Will your curtain need chain weighting.
Finally = The choice of material. We will be happy to lend you swatches with sample colours.
