IFR Velour, Duvetyne, Stage Drapery & Custom Theatre Fabrication

Theatre fabrics do more than frame a stage. They shape how a performance space feels before a production even begins.

From school auditoriums and performing arts centers to churches, hospitality venues, casinos, film productions, and concert staging, theatre fabrics help control light, improve acoustics, soften architecture, and create the atmosphere productions rely on.

At Equus Fabrics, we supply commercial theatre fabrics across Canada and the United States with a focus on IFR velour, duvetyne, blackout fabrics, scenic drapery, and custom stage solutions for modern performance environments.

Whether the project requires traditional stage curtains, portable masking systems, decorative event drapery, or custom printed scenic fabrics, our team helps productions source fabrics designed for both visual impact and long-term commercial performance.
