Stage curtains are rarely decorative afterthoughts. In theatres, schools, churches, and event spaces, they are working infrastructure — controlling sightlines, absorbing sound, managing light, and shaping how a room functions.
Equus Fabrics supplies stage curtains and masking drapes across Toronto and the GTA, working directly with schools, churches, theatres, and event venues that need reliable, fire-rated fabrics backed by real technical knowledge. This is core territory for us — not an add-on service.
Stage environments place very specific demands on fabric. Curtains must hang correctly, perform consistently, and meet fire regulations without compromise.
We regularly support projects that require:
Masking for side stages and wings
Front-of-house travellers
Borders and valances
Full-stage backdrops
Multi-purpose curtains for shared spaces
These applications demand the right fabric weight, not just the right colour.
Velour remains the standard for stage and masking applications due to its durability, light absorption, and acoustic benefit. We supply multiple weights depending on how the space is used:
15oz IFR Velour
Ideal for lighter-duty masking, schools, and smaller stages where ease of handling is important.
23oz IFR Velour
A widely used mid-weight option offering strong sound absorption and excellent visual depth for most theatres and churches.
25oz IFR Velour
Chosen for larger venues, deeper stages, and spaces where maximum acoustic and visual control is required.
Selecting the correct weight affects everything — from how the curtain tracks operate to how the room sounds during use.
Masking systems are often where experience matters most. Poorly specified masking can restrict movement, look uneven, or fail fire inspections.
We regularly supply:
Legs to mask wings and backstage areas
Borders to control vertical sightlines and lighting spill
Backdrops for depth, focus, and visual control
Travellers for flexible stage openings
Whether the space is a traditional theatre or a multi-use auditorium, masking needs to be planned — not improvised.
Our stage curtain and masking projects commonly support:
Schools & auditoriums
Church sanctuaries and worship stages
Community and professional theatres
Event spaces and rental companies
Many of these venues operate with limited downtime and long replacement cycles. Fabric choices need to be correct the first time.
All stage and masking fabrics we recommend for these applications are IFR (inherently fire retardant) and suitable for public assembly spaces, including those requiring CAN/ULC compliance.
We assist clients in selecting appropriate documentation and fabrics early in the process, helping avoid issues during inspection or installation.
Unlike suppliers who simply ship fabric, Equus Fabrics works directly with venues, designers, and fabricators to ensure the right outcome.
We offer:
Guidance on fabric selection and weights
Sample swatches for review and testing
Support for fabrication planning
Local access and ongoing reorders
Clients are welcome to visit our showroom to review velour weights and finishes in person — particularly helpful when comparing 16oz, 23oz, and 25oz options side by side.
We regularly supply stage curtains and masking drapes to venues in:
Toronto
Mississauga
Scarborough
Vaughan
Markham
Local supply matters when timelines are tight and spaces are actively in use.
Stage curtains are not generic products — they are functional systems. Equus Fabrics brings hands-on experience, dependable supply, and a clear understanding of how stage spaces actually operate.
If your venue is planning new stage curtains or replacing existing masking drapes, we’re happy to discuss the project and recommend the right solution.
