Fabric finish refers to the top and bottom of the drape. Our drapes are typically finished with a 4″ to 6″ pipe pockets that allows for the sleeving of the drape directly onto the hardware. Drapes in excess of 25’ in height also include grommets and ties allowing the drape to be tied directly to a pipe, such as truss or existing theatre pipe.

Headers or valance panels are available in these heights: 1’, 2’, and 3’. Custom heights are also available for an additional fee.

Our standard event drape panels most frequently rented are PolyTeQ and Velour. Our standard panel widths are designed to be set in 10’ increments. Our specialy drape fabrics come in a variety of widths based on fabric type, pattern and texture. Widths are listed on the drape products featured in the Drape Rental Section of the website.

The rental price for drape varies depending on a variety of factors including: choice of drape material–fabric type, height of drape panel, linear feet required, and whether labor and hardware are needed.

Typically, up to 16’ of drape can be ground supported from a temporary structure (pipe and bases). If it’s taller than 16’ it typically hangs from a structural piece of the building or has reinforced foundational support, from the ground up. With industry-standard structural support, we can install drape up to 22’ high.

Each venue (ballroom, barn, tent, country club, arena, office space, etc.) is unique, so, there are no set prices. To provide the optimum design for the venue, budget and experience desired, we offer complimentary reviews and estimates based on a careful review of the venue selected. Estimates for ceiling treatments vary based on many factors including: available rigging points, whether there is a need for a scissor lift, design and size of the desired ceiling treatment, fabric selection, lighting integration, etc.

We do have a minimum order charge for deliveries however this varies per market. Please reach out to your local sales manager and they will be able to provide additional information.

FR (Flame Retardant) refers to fabric that has been topically treated with a flame retardant solution. FR-treated fabric needs to be re-treated over time or during cleanings to remain flame retardant.

Both FR and IFR meet the industry standards set forth by the NFPA 701 Small Scale. Certificates are available upon request for all our rental drape.
