Q: How do I store my stage drapes and theatre curtains when not in use?
A: Specialty Theartre recommends that you carefully fold your stage curtains to limit wrinkes. Drapes should then be stored in canvas bags or canvas storage hampers but preferably not in plastic bags due to potential moisture and condensation issues.
Q: How do I remove wrinkles from theatre curtain and stage drapes?
A: Specialty Theatre recommends hanging your stage curtains, wall drapes or backdrops for a few days prior to your performance, concert or show. This should allow the wrinkles and folds to "hang" out of the fabric much like you might do with a wool suit. The warmer the temperature, the quicker this usually happens. The weight of the fabric usually pulls the wrinkles out pretty effectively.

Q: What does it mean if a fabric is NDFR?
A: NDFR stands for Non Durably Flame Retarded. These fabrics are chemically treated with a water soluble retarding solution. All fabrics classed as NDFR will withstand at least 5 water free dry cleaning cycles without effecting flame retardancy. If these fabrics are wetted in any way, it is essential to retreat the fabric to meet flammability requirements.
Q: Can theatre curtains be treated for flame retarding in situ without removing them from the venue?
