Direct Fabrics luxury Pasco Velvet Curtain Fabric. This fabric is our premium polyester velvet. It has a lovely thick velvet pile. This is similar to old fashioned cotton velvets. 

We do not always pull velvet curtains up to the finished size, This is to prevent creases in the fabric when in transit. Your curtains will still be hooked but may need to be pleated up on site. We have a how to pull and hook guide avalible if needed. Just ask our team.

This fabric is incredible value and has a blackout coating so you do not need to line the curtains to get total light exclusion.

As the fabric is polyester is it more durable than cotton and can be washed like most man-made fabrics.

The Pasco velvet looks fantastic as made to measure curtains, blinds and soft furnishings. If you want made to measure curtains, just search above for pasco and we can make your curtains.

Stage Curtains Specification

• For our stage curtains we manufacture them to your exact specification, but an industry standard would to 1.5x fullness of the track width rounded to the nearest width. An example of this for a 500cm curtain track we use (500x1.5=750) / (fabric width 140cm = 5.35 so we use 6 widths of fabric to make the curtains. If your track was 450cm we would use 5 widths of fabric. So we try to make the curtains fit as closely as possible.
• The heading for our curtains is a snap hook which clips through your track loops, we can also offer tie tops and a standard pencil pleat heading, check below for more information or contact the team and we will be happy to help.
• We can use a chain weight in the hems to make them drape perfectly.

Headings Options for Stage Curtains: 

Pencil Pleat:

Pencil pleat is the traditional style of curtain heading that is a used in most windows and gives a lovely finish. You have the flexibility from the stitched in curtain tape which allows you to alter the height above your track and pole.

Webbing to snap hooks: 

 Webbing to Snap Hooks clips sewn into the heading tape that then clip straight into a stage track. Not all tracks are suitable for this. Please send over images of your current track if you need any help. 

Tie tops: 

Tie tops can be tied onto a pole or batten, great for backdrops and for curtains that need to be portable around different spaces.

Lining Options for Stage Curtains:

All lining options from Direct Fabrics are flame retardent certified to BS5867 and can be used in commercial enviroments.

Unlined:

Lined:

Standard polyester FR lining is a low cost option that provides extra fullness and helps your curtains drape better. It will provide additional shade on standard fabrics and on dimout and blackout fabrics it is used to add a more luxurious feel.

Blackout lined:

3 Pass blackout lining is Direct Fabrics choice for all curtains as it is 100% blackout, allowing you to control the amount of light coming into a room, making perfect for bedrooms and other dark enviroments. The 3 pass coating is very hard wearing and provides a thermal benefit aswell as making your curtain drape better.

This fabric is coated with a 3pass blackout coating. This means it has been sealed 3 times and to ensure that the material is totally blackout. The coating is an off white coating which reflects heat out of a window when the curtains are drawn. The 3 pass coating also adds thermal benefits with a heat retention when used over a double glazed window of 30%. Therefore your rooms will be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
