Total light control — deep blackout for projection, film & immersive events.

When an event needs darkness — for projection, LED walls, film screenings or a dramatic reveal — blackout draping delivers it. Heavy, light-absorbing wool serge blocks daylight from windows & doors & lines a room to create a controlled, cinema-dark environment.

Blackout is essential for AV-heavy conferences, product launches with big reveals, immersive experiences & any event where projection or LED screens need to look their best. It also doubles as masking, hiding walls & windows behind a clean black finish.

Our free-standing systems let us black out marquees, glass-walled venues & daylight halls without any fixing to the building, & our technicians install to the tight tolerances that good projection demands.
