Types of stage curtains

Main curtain (front tabs)The heavy front curtain that opens at the start of a show, usually splitting in the middle and drawing to each side on a track.
Pelmet or top borderA short fixed curtain across the top of the stage opening that hides lights and the track and frames the stage.
BordersHorizontal curtains across the stage that mask lighting bars and the ceiling from the audience.
Legs and wingsNarrow vertical curtains at the sides that hide performers waiting in the wings.
Backdrop and rear curtainA full-width curtain at the back of the stage, often black, or a plain backdrop for projection or lighting effects.

Fabrics

Main curtains are usually heavy velvet or a heavyweight woven fabric that blocks light and hangs in deep, even folds, in deep red, navy, black or the venue colour. Borders, legs and rear curtains are commonly black so they disappear under stage lighting. Plain light-coloured fabric suits backdrops used for projection.

Venues often have requirements for fire performance from the operator, insurer or authorities. Send us the specification you have been given at the start, and we will confirm what we can supply against it before quoting.

Tracks and operation

Stage curtains hang from heavy-duty tracks fixed to the ceiling or to the stage structure, sized for the weight and width of the curtain. Main curtains can be drawn by hand with a cord, or motorised so they open at the touch of a switch, which suits wide stages and venues where the same person runs lighting and sound. We check the ceiling or structure, the width and height of the stage opening and the clearance backstage at the site visit.
