Description
Single Face Commando Melton Fabric is a versatile black drapery textile made from recycled cotton and viscose, weighing 450gsm (16 oz) and 140cm wide. Known in some regions as "Duvetyn," this fabric is highly opaque yet lighter and more economical than traditional velour. It is widely used in theatre, industrial shows, exhibitions, and special events for masking, backdrops, curtains, and sound control drapes.
With excellent light-blocking properties and acoustic qualities, this commando cloth is ideal for controlling light spill, creating fabric black boxes, covering stage borders and legs, and reducing sound reverberation.
