Everything starts with a good foundation. Pipe and drape begins with 6 lb. to 62 lb. bases, as dictated by the height and weight of the drape. As required, sandbags are added for extra safety and stability. We stock a wide range of Inherently Flame Retardant (IFR) fabrics, from sheer to heavyweight velour, that can be used for everything from basic pipe and drape to a grand entrance or a traveler track reveal.

NO HUMPS

Most pipe and drape competitors use traditional upright hardware which causes the drape to “hump”, as demonstrated below. Using our No Humps hardware, your drape lays flat on the horizontal, creating a smooth, straight look.

As shown in the photos below, standard hardware creates a “hump” at every point where a horizontal meets a vertical. Most of our  Rental Stock utilzes the flush top as shown on the right with ” NO HUMPS”.

Both new Sale Hardware, and your old standard top uprights can be retofitted with “8 Way Repair Ends” to offer tha same flexibility.

Now, with our Cashmere drape hanging on, you can see what the final product looks like with and without using our hardware.
