Rose Brand Introduces 25oz Wizard Velour – Magically Blacker

Are you not happy with your current stage drapes?  Are they just not black enough for you?  Rip them suckers down.  Rose Brand has introduced a new magically blacker velour called Wizard Velour! Ok, let me clarify, no magic has been performed here.  They don’t have Harry Potter in some backroom chained to the wall mass producing Wizard Velour.  But it would be kind of funny as a pre req for graduation at Hogwarts… One semester of Wizard Velour Production. ANYWAYS…

Rose Brand recently introduced their latest stage drape fabric, 25oz Wizard Velour.  It is the blackest, most light absorbing, opaque, flame retardant, 100% cotton velour. With claims like that, it has to be magic!  Actually, it’s in the fiber.  Wizard Velour has a fine mercerized yarn at 1190 pile tuff per square inch.

You can pick up your very own yardage of Wizard Velour at www.rosebrand.com.  Cut yards run $28.75 a yard while uncut yards run $23.00.  By the way, you have to purchase that in a 55 yard bolt!

Side Note: iSquint.net does not recommend ripping or tearing down ANY stage drapes at any time or in any situation.  Come on, it’s just not safe!

Chauvet Introduces SparkliteLED Drape

Oh stary stary night… Yeah, I shouldn’t be singing… Looking to add a stary night scape to your next show?  Chauvet Lighting recently announced the release of their SparkliteLED Drape.  The new SparkliteLED Drape is similar to star back drops that you are use to using with either fiberglass or christmas tree lights poked through the curtain.  The SparkliteLED Drape is also very different from the afore mentioned star drops as well.

As you can guess from the name of the curtain, the SparkliteLED Drape uses LEDs within the curtain to give you twinkling stars. The drape uses 1/4 watt, 5mm tri-color LEDs. A section of drape, 20′ x 13′ holds 128 LEDs fitted into eight distinct controllable zones.

Just like a fiber star drape, the SparkliteLED drape requires a controller to operate the LEDs to control color, strobing and brightness across the different zones and sections.
