Transform Your Event with Premium Velour Drapery

 


When it comes to creating a truly memorable event — whether a wedding, gala, conference, or stage production — the ambiance matters. Lighting, décor, staging — all of that sets the mood. But one often-underappreciated hero is the backdrop: when thoughtfully chosen, drapery panels can elevate any space from “ordinary” to “immersive.”

At Pipe & Drape USA, our Event Velour Drapery Panels are designed with high expectations in mind. They’re not just beautiful — they’re practical, safe, and flexible enough for a wide variety of uses.

In this post we’ll explore:

  • What makes velour drapery stand out

  • Key features & technical specs

  • Use cases and creative ideas

  • Tips for selecting, installing, and maintaining

  • Ordering & logistics information

What Makes Velour Drapery Special?

Heavyweight & Full Blackout

Unlike lighter fabrics, our velour option offers 100% blackout properties. This makes it ideal when you want to fully control light, hide unsightly backstage areas, or create dramatic contrast for lighting effects.

Inherently Flame Resistant (IFR)

Safety is nonnegotiable — especially in public venues and large gatherings. Each panel is inherently flame-resistant, satisfying fire code requirements without relying on topical chemical treatments. (All drapes ship with fire-safety tags and certificates.)

Clean, Professional Look

Velour drapery gives you a rich, plush appearance. The heavier fabric drapes elegantly and resists creasing more than lightweight materials. As stated on your product page, these drapes are also wrinkle-resistant for a polished finish.

Custom Sizes & Colors

To suit many staging scenarios, panels come in sizes from 15′ W × 5′ L up to 15′ W × 20′ L. You can also choose from a wide palette including black, white, grey, blue, red, beige, hunter green, navy, eggplant, gold, and more.

Pricing ranges from about US $210 for smaller panels to $520 for the full-length ones (before shipping).
Use Cases & Creative Ideas

Here are several ways your clients or event designers might put the drapery to work:

  1. Backdrops for stages or performance stages
     Use velour panels behind performers or speakers — the blackout effect helps lighting pop, and the plush texture adds depth.

  2. Room dividers & masking
     Hide storage areas, technical zones, or service areas. Create “hidden” zones behind the scenes while maintaining a clean foreground.

  3. Photo walls & selfie zones
     Draped panels of rich hues (navy, eggplant, gold) make elegant backdrops for photo ops. Accent with spot lighting or uplights for more drama.

  4. Trade show booths
     For booths where you want to stand out, pair velour drapes with branding, signage, or projection surfaces.

  5. Event entrances & walkways
     Create grand entrances by hanging drapery along aisles — the weight of velour gives a luxurious sense to fabric “walls.”

  6. Lighting & projection effects
     Use color washes, gobos, or projections onto the fabric. The blackout property ensures minimal “light bleed” from behind.

Tips for Choosing & Setup

  • Measure carefully. Always verify your ceiling height, rigging allowance, overlap, and mounting method (e.g. pipe & drape hardware).

  • Order samples. Even with accurate colors online, seeing a real swatch under your lighting is invaluable. You can request fabric samples.


  • Plan for fullness. A bit of pleating or extra width gives better drape. Ask your drapery provider or draping technician for their fullness ratio guidelines.

  • Rigging & support matters. Use proper uprights, crossbars, and supports rated for live loads, especially for overhead drapes.

  • Carefully transport & store. Fold or roll with padding to prevent creases. Steam or heat gently on site to remove wrinkles if needed.

  • Order in advance. Because these are custom sewn, turnaround typically is 1–3 business days (plus shipping).

Ordering, Shipping & Returns

  • Turnaround & Shipping: After production, typical shipping and handling adds multiple business days. Expect a combined timeline of several business days.


  • Nonrefundable / Final Sale: Because panels are custom sewn to order, they are nonrefundable. That said, the Pipe & Drape USA team handles every request case by case.

  • Fire Compliance: Every drape arrives with the required fire-resistant tag, and flame certificates are available on request — essential for venues and inspections.
