When it comes to professional blackout and stage masking, nothing beats duvetyne fabric. At Equus Fabrics, we carry FR duvetyne in both black and white, available by the yard or by the full bolt. Whether you’re outfitting a theater, building a film set, or covering truss and gear at a live event, duvetyne delivers the performance, look, and fire safety you need.
Duvetyne is a heavyweight, 100% cotton fabric with a brushed matte finish. Unlike shiny synthetics, it absorbs light rather than reflecting it. That’s why it’s been the go-to fabric for stage, film, and event professionals for decades.
It’s also flame retardant, tested to meet NFPA 701 (USA) and CAN/ULC-S109-14 (Canada). That means it performs reliably in venues where fire-rated textiles are required — from concert halls and theaters to convention centers and broadcast studios.
We stock duvetyne in three common weights:
9 oz – light masking, temporary use (most popular)
12 oz – medium weight for stage skirting and pipe & drape
16 oz (Commando Cloth) – maximum opacity, favored for blackout, stage masking, and draping
Width: 57 inches
Bolt Size: 50 yards exact
Most people know duvetyne in its classic deep black, perfect for stage masking and blackout. But we also offer white duvetyne, often used in film and photography to bounce light or soften scenes. Both options share the same cotton texture, easy drape, and flame-retardant treatment.
At Equus Fabrics, we understand every project is different. That’s why we sell duvetyne in two ways:
By the Yard – Need just a few yards for skirting, equipment covers, or a small backdrop? We’ll cut to your exact length.
By the roll – Larger projects and rentals benefit from full 50-yard rolls. Buying by the bolt gives you the best cost per yard.
Blackout & Light Control – Absorbs light with minimal reflection
Flame Retardant – Certified to NFPA 701 & CAN/ULC-S109-14
Durable & Easy to Work With – Cuts cleanly, drapes well, long-lasting
Versatile – Perfect for stage masking, pipe & drape, speaker covers, truss wraps, film and AV sets, darkrooms, and backdrop creation
Whether you’re a distributor, production company, or venue, Equus Fabrics makes it easy to get the right duvetyne for your project. We stock black and white duvetyne in 9 oz, 12 oz, and 16 oz weights, with fast shipping across Canada.
