Productions in Canada move fast — and waiting weeks for U.S. shipments of stage fabric, duvetyne, or IFR velour can slow everything down. That’s why more film studios, theatres, and production crews across Canada are turning to Equus Fabrics, a Canadian supplier with local inventory and dependable turnaround times.
From blackout drapery to printed backdrops, we supply the fabrics productions use every day — without customs delays, border fees, or unpredictable shipping costs.
Film sets, theatres, and event crews rely on fabrics that are durable, flame-rated, and consistent. We supply commonly requested production materials including:
• IFR Velour (Permanent Flame Resistance)
Rich pile, excellent light absorption, and available in theatrical weights suitable for curtains, masking, and stage drapery.

A workhorse fabric used in sets, lighting control, masking, film rigs, and backstage applications.
• Blackout Fabrics
Ideal for studios, theatres, AV setups, photography environments, and educational spaces.
