STANDARD BOX PLEATED VALANCE

Standard with 6” pleats on 12” centers for 50% fullness to match the front curtain. Other fullness and pleating is available. The valance is either TACKED UP to the rear of the proscenium wall or made with GROMMETS to be tied to a batten. Letters, emblems, and 6” fringe are available, as are slanted tops, peaked tops and custom cutouts.

ROUND TOP VALANCES

Round top valances can be made for the stage valance or for matching window draperies in the standard box pleated style. They usually require a paper pattern to be furnished to insure that the new valance fits the actual curvature of the opening.

PINCH PLEATING

Draperies are available with Double-fold pinch pleats (as shown to the right) in a range of fullness. 50% fullness has pleats on 6” centers; 100% fullness has pleats on approximately 4” centers. Draperies are shipped banded in folds with pins inserted or in a hardware bag. Triple-fold pinch pleats are not available due to the thickness of most stage curtain materials. Pinch pleat headings do not have the strength of box pleat headings. Round top or slanted valances are not available with pinch pleats.

HEADERS

When cyclorama curtains are parted for placement of a flat such as a door or window, a bare space is left immediately above the door or window. The HEADER is used to cover this space. A Single Header is 4’0” wide and a Double Header is 6’0” wide. Headers allow 6’6” from header bottom to floor and should be ordered at same time as rest of curtains to allow for color matching.
