Velour & Lining Fabrics

The heart of theatrical softgoods are velours and liners. A main curtain is typically a heavy weight velour with a liner to make it light blocking. That allows full scene changes upstage of the main curtain. Legs, borders and mid-stage curtains are usually made of a complimentary velour. Often of a slightly lighter weight to help manage your budget.

We recommend that you purchase a sample of fabric if you're looking for a specific color. Once fabric is cut to size for your order, it can't be returned.

When you purchase a flame retardant fabric from us, we'll provide you with a certificate that indicates the flame retardancy tests that the fabric has passed. Keep these certificates on hand to show your fire marshal. It's best to check in with your fire marshal before making any large purchases of scenery or fabric in order to understand the fire safety requirements and to obtain pre-approval of the substrates and items you intend to use.

Flame retardant fabrics are labeled FR or IFR. FR fabrics have been treated to be flame retardant, while IFR fabrics are inherently flame retardant and the flame retardancy will not wash out. Note that we also sell flame retardants that can be applied as needed.
