Buy Duvetyne Fabric in Canada
Duvetyne is the industry standard for light control, stage masking, and blackout applications. Made from heavyweight, brushed cotton, it absorbs light rather than reflecting it — making it essential for theatres, broadcast studios, film productions, and event venues.
As a Canadian fabric wholesaler, Equus Fabrics keeps duvetyne in stock locally, helping you avoid cross-border delays, duties, and uncertainty.
What Is Duvetyne Fabric?
Duvetyne or commando is a 100% cotton fabric with a matte, brushed surface designed to eliminate glare and reflections. Unlike shiny synthetics, duvetyne absorbs light cleanly, making it ideal for controlled lighting environments.
It is widely used for:
-
Stage masking and skirting
-
Pipe and drape systems
-
Film and television sets
-
AV and broadcast studios
-
Speaker covers and truss wraps
-
Darkrooms and photography backdrops

Black & White Duvetyne Options
Black Duvetyne
The classic choice for stage masking and blackout. Deep matte finish absorbs light with minimal reflection.
White Duvetyne
Often used in film and photography to bounce or soften light while maintaining the same cotton texture and drape.
Both options offer the same durability, handling ease, and flame-retardant performance.
Buy Duvetyne by the Yard or by the Bolt
We understand that every project is different, which is why we offer flexible purchasing options:
-
By the Yard – Ideal for small projects, skirting, equipment covers, and short runs
-
By the Bolt (50 yards) – Best value for large installs, rentals, and recurring use
Buying by the bolt provides the best cost per yard and ensures consistency across large projects.
