These curtains are perfect for home theatres. Finish off your home theatre or cinema room in style with these high quality curtains.

Both 300gsm and 365gsm cotton velvet fabrics are treated with fire retardant, which means they burn more slowly than regular fabrics, reducing the spread of fire. Cotton velvet curtains that are 300 and 365gsm comply to Building Code Australia (BCA), AS1530 Part 2 and 3, and have been tested by the Australian Wool Testing Authority (AWTA).

The lighter duty 200gsm velveteen and satin drapes are the most cost effective and suitable for non-permanent applications, including wedding decorations and stage backdrops — best paired with our drape support systems and pipe & drape accessories for a complete freestanding setup, and support components for larger multi-panel backdrops.

Home Theatre Curtains & Stage Backdrops — Which Option Suits You?

If you're setting up a home theatre, the fabric weight matters more than the colour. Our 300–365gsm cotton velvet gives a fuller, denser drape that's better at absorbing light spill around the screen — ideal for a permanent, full-wall setup. If the room is smaller or you don't need a permanent fixture, the 200gsm velveteen is a lighter and more affordable option. When measuring, add extra width and drop so the curtain closes fully without gaps, and leave stack-back space if you plan to open it during the day.

For events, weddings and photo booths, the same 200gsm range works well as a stage backdrop since it's quick to hang and easy to pack down for one-off use. Venues and theatres with recurring events are usually better suited to the heavier 300–365gsm fabric for durability and fire-retardant compliance. If the venue has no existing rigging, our drape support systems and pipe & drape accessories let you set up a freestanding backdrop, and support components help extend coverage for wider stages or multi-panel setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric is best for stage curtains?

It depends on use. Our 200gsm velveteen and satin drapes are the most cost-effective choice for temporary setups like weddings and short-run backdrops. Our 300–365gsm cotton velvet is better suited to permanent installs, theatres and venues that require fire-retardant compliance. Theatre curtains — also commonly searched as theater curtains — typically use the heavier cotton velvet range.

What is the difference between 200gsm velveteen and 300–365gsm cotton velvet drapes?

200gsm velveteen is lighter, more affordable, and designed for non-permanent applications such as wedding decorations and stage backdrops. 300–365gsm cotton velvet is heavier, fire-retardant treated, and compliant with Building Code Australia (BCA) and AS1530 Part 2 and 3, making it the better choice for permanent theatre and venue installations.

Are your stage and theatre curtains fire retardant?

Our 300gsm and 365gsm cotton velvet curtains are treated with fire retardant, which slows the spread of fire and complies with Building Code Australia (BCA) and AS1530 Part 2 and 3, tested by the Australian Wool Testing Authority (AWTA). This fire-retardant treatment applies specifically to the 300–365gsm cotton velvet range, not the lighter 200gsm velveteen drapes.

What curtains are best for a home theatre?

Heavier 300–365gsm cotton velvet curtains in black are the most popular
choice for home theatres, offering fuller coverage and helping control ambient
light around the screen. Measure with extra width and drop so the curtain
closes fully without gaps, and allow stack-back space if you plan to open the
curtains during the day.

Can stage curtains be used as stage backdrops?

Yes. Our 200gsm velveteen and satin drapes are the most cost-effective option for use as stage backdrops, particularly for temporary events, weddings and photo booths. For larger or multi-panel backdrops, pair the drapes with our drape support systems and support components for wider, sag-free coverage.

Can I use these stage drapes with a pipe and drape system?

Yes, our stage drapes are designed to work with pipe & drape accessories and drape support systems for a complete freestanding setup. This is the most common way to hang backdrops in venues without existing rigging, and support components are available if you need to extend coverage for larger backdrops.
