Fabric, printing and custom fabrication for events, exhibitions, trade shows, theatrical productions and branded environments across Canada.
Custom Event Fabrics, Printed Backdrops & Fabrication for Events, Exhibitions and Productions
Every successful event begins with transforming a space.
Whether it’s a convention centre, hotel ballroom, trade show floor, theatre, wedding venue, product launch, casino, school, or corporate conference, fabric remains one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to completely change the appearance of an environment.
At Equus Fabrics, we supply event fabrics, custom printed textiles, pipe and drape systems, digital graphics, and fabricated drapery solutions throughout Canada and the United States. From elegant sheer installations to large-scale branded backdrops, our team helps event professionals create environments that are functional, visually impactful, and installation-ready.
Unlike companies that simply rent drapery, we manufacture, print, sew, and fabricate many of the materials used to build the finished event environment.
Event Fabrics Designed for Visual Impact
The event industry utilizes a wide range of fabrics depending on the desired appearance, lighting conditions, and installation requirements.
Crystal Organza remains one of the most popular decorative event fabrics because of its ability to reflect light while maintaining a soft translucent appearance. It is frequently used for ceiling treatments, decorative layering, wedding installations, and hospitality events where lighting plays a major role in the design.
Voile continues to be one of the most versatile event fabrics available. Its wide-width construction allows decorators and production companies to create large seamless backdrops, room dividers, ceiling drapery, and stage environments without excessive panel seams.
For projects requiring softer movement and elegant layering, chiffon provides a flowing appearance that works particularly well within wedding environments, gala events, hospitality installations, and decorative stage treatments.
When complete light control is required, Fire Velvet, IFR Velour, Duvetyne, and blackout fabrics provide deeper visual richness while concealing equipment, staging infrastructure, and backstage areas.
The choice of fabric ultimately depends on how the space needs to perform as much as how it needs to look.
Custom Printed Event Fabrics
One of the fastest-growing areas of event production is custom printed fabric.
Large-format fabric graphics allow event organizers to transform ordinary spaces into branded experiences while reducing the weight, shipping costs, and storage requirements associated with rigid signage.
At Equus Fabrics, we can digitally print custom designs, colours, patterns, logos, photography, scenic imagery, sponsor graphics, and branded environments onto selected event fabrics.
This allows event planners and production companies to create:
custom stage backdrops,
step-and-repeat walls,
trade show displays,
corporate branding,
photo opportunities,
conference stages,
retail activations,
hospitality installations,
and large-scale decorative environments.
If you can design it, we can generally print it.
Many clients use our printing capabilities to create event environments that simply cannot be achieved using stock fabrics alone.
Pipe & Drape Systems & Fabrication
Beyond supplying fabrics, Equus Fabrics can also assist with complete pipe and drape solutions.
Pipe and drape systems remain one of the most effective methods of creating temporary walls, room divisions, stage masking, trade show booths, hospitality environments, and portable event backdrops.
Our workroom can fabricate custom panels for pipe and drape systems in virtually any height, fullness, or finish required by the project.
Because fabrication, printing, and fabric sourcing can be coordinated through a single supplier, event companies often find the process significantly easier and more efficient.
Most fabrication projects are completed approximately two to three weeks following final approval depending on project scope.
Digital Graphics & Specialty Materials
Not every event application requires fabric. Did you know Equus can digital print on any fabric of your choice?
For projects requiring rigid surfaces, wall graphics, branded installations, sponsor displays, or specialty visual elements, Equus Fabrics also supplies selected printable vinyl materials suitable for commercial environments.
Many projects combine printed fabric and vinyl graphics to create layered visual environments that balance portability, durability, and visual impact.
This approach is commonly used within trade shows, corporate activations, hospitality environments, and convention centres where branding requirements are constantly changing.
Fire-Rated Event Fabrics
Many public venues require fabrics suitable for commercial assembly environments.
Selected event fabrics are available for projects requiring CAN/ULC-S109 and NFPA 701 compliance depending on the fabric selected and the requirements of the venue.
Certificates and supporting documentation may be available upon request.
This is particularly important for hotels, convention centres, casinos, schools, theatres, municipal buildings, and hospitality environments where fire code documentation is often required before installation approval.
