Dimensions and sizing options
Available in 13×16 and 13×22 foot panels, these black drapes offer flexibility for a range of stage widths and ceiling heights. The 13×22 panels are well suited for tall backdrops or proscenium masking, while the 13×16 panels work effectively for side legs, wings, and lower ceiling environments.
Material and light absorption
The drapes are constructed from a heavy-weight commando cloth or similar dense woven fabric that provides deep, non-reflective black for effective light masking. This makes them ideal for theatrical productions, concerts, and corporate events where controlling sightlines and minimizing light bleed is critical.
Hanging and rigging
Panels feature sewn-in grommets or a top pocket along the header for easy attachment to pipe-and-drape systems, truss, or batten. Their standard 13-foot width allows multiple panels to be hung side by side with minimal overlap to create seamless coverage.
Common applications
Black drapes are a production staple used for masking backstage areas, creating dark backdrops, and defining performance or presentation spaces. They are equally at home in theater, live events, trade shows, and broadcast studios requiring a clean, dark surround.
