Decorative molton red | Have custom dimensions with eyelets and hemmed pocket

decorative molton cut with straight edges

Here you can get the molleton fabric as a straight cut by the metre in the desired length and width. The side edges are cut straight, but not hemmed. Simply cut decorative molleton is perfect for further processing, for example for frame covers, shirting etc.

for mounting: For mounting cut fabrics, we recommend Holdon Clips, which you can buy in the shop in the Midi and Mini versions. Alternatively, you can staple the decorative fabrics; we also have the appropriate staplers in our range.

Decorative molton with a simple hem

When using molton fabrics as decorative fabrics in theatre or event applications, hemming molton is the simplest way of finishing them. You decide whether the fabrics should be hemmed all around or only on individual edges. There are also two hem widths to choose from: the standard hem measures approx. 2.5 cm, the extra-wide hem approx. 5 cm (the extra-wide hem is only possible on the bottom edge).

for attaching: Hemmed molton fabric can be easily attached with Holdon Clips, which, depending on the version, can hold up to 70 kg of fabric with their patented snap-in system. Molton can thus be stretched taut without annoying wrinkles.

Decorative Molton with eyelets and reinforced edge

The fabric is provided with rustproof stainless steel eyelets, optionally at 25 cm or 50 cm intervals. Please note: the greater the distance, the fewer the folds in the curtain. The inner diameter of the eyelets is 16 mm (outer diameter 32 mm). When sewing the eyelets, a belt strap is sewn in for stabilisation and the edge is hemmed.

The 25 cm eyelet is also available with an enclosed (not firmly sewn on!) tie band (length approx. 33 cm), which can be used to easily hang curtains. This variant can only be selected for the top edge.

for mounting: Mounting eyed molleton is extremely easy. You can use tie-tapes, narrow bars, steel cables or similar to quickly mount the fabrics on trusses, stage elements, bars or frames. Decorative fabrics with all-round eyelets can be tightened using bungee cords or cable ties.

Decorative molton with eyelets incl. included tie tape (not sewn on)

Here, the decorative molton is also equipped with rustproof stainless steel grommets (inner diameter 16 mm, outer diameter 32 mm), the grommet spacing is 25 cm. A webbing strap is sewn in to reinforce the edges. In addition, ties are included with this variant (not sewn to the fabric!). One tie per eyelet. This allows the decorative fabric to be tied to trusses, bars, etc.

Decorative molton with lead tape for weighting

A weighted lead tape is sewn into the lower edge of the fabric. The lead tape is used for weighting, so the molleton fabric hangs smoother and tighter.

Decorative molton with hemstitch, 3 cm or 9 cm in diameter

There are two versions of the hemstitch (also called tunnel hemstitch) to choose from: a hemstitch with a diameter of approx. 3 cm (5 cm laid flat) and a hemstitch with a diameter of approx. 9 cm (15 cm laid flat). This finish is inexpensive and versatile.

Molton with a tunnel hem can be hung taut or gathered as needed.

for mounting: Rods or steel cables can be pushed through the hem.

Decorative molton with hook and loop tape in 2 widths

A fleece tape is sewn onto the upper edge of the molton, while a complementary velcro tape with a self-adhesive backing (included in the scope of delivery) can be attached to stage elements, studio equipment or even walls as required. The molton with hook and loop tape can be hung up and taken down as needed. You can order decorative molton with hook and loop tape in either 2 cm or 5 cm widths. The hook and loop tape is black; white hook and loop tape is used for white molton.

A]2 cm wideVelcro/fleecetapeis sufficient for attaching Molton up to 4 m high. Decorative fabrics over 4 m high should be provided with a 5 cm wide Velcro/fleece tape.

for attachment: The fleece tape is sewn firmly onto the fabric, and the matching self-adhesive velcro tape is simply stuck onto the desired surface. Important: The surface should be clean, dust-free and grease-free. And press firmly to achieve optimal adhesion!

Decorative molton with crinkle tape or heavy-duty webbing tape

Decorative molton with crimped tape creates beautiful folds. The crimped tape consists of a drawstring and a loop tape. The drawstring is used to adjust the folds: the tighter the fabric is pulled together, the stronger the folds. The loop tape is used for hanging with hooks. Gimp tape (approx. 2 cm wide) is used for up to 3 m in height, for longer curtains we sew extra robust heavy-duty tape that is 3 cm wide. The gimp tape is chosen by our sewing department to match the colour of the fabric (black, white, beige, bordeaux or light grey), the heavy-duty tape is white.

for hanging: Molton with crimped tape is hung using hooks (standard plastic roller hooks or special stainless steel hooks), which are simply hooked into the individual loops.

: The width of the fabric is reduced by the crimping. Therefore, please multiply the actual width required by a factor of 1.6 to 2.0, depending on how much you want to crimp the curtain later, and order this value in the configurator.

Example: You need a 2 m wide curtain and would like to have it heavily ruffled. 2 m x 2.0 = 4.0 m. So you order the curtain with a width of 4.0 m in the configurator, but the ruffling reduces it to 2 m.

Decorative molton with fold tape for an even fold

In this case, a pleat tape is sewn onto the back of the curtain, which, when pulled together, creates even triple pleats. The pleat tape is 5 cm wide. The pleat tape also has a loop tape for hanging with hooks (plastic roll hooks or stainless steel hooks). The pleat tape is made of transparent plastic material.

for installation: Hooks are suitable for hanging, either conventional plastic roller hooks or stainless steel hooks. From a curtain height of 3 m, we recommend stainless steel hooks because of the heavy weight of the stage molton.

: This configuration uses fabric at a ratio of 1:2.5, i.e. 2.5 m of fabric is needed for a 1 m wide curtain. When ordering, please specify your required width; the configurator will automatically calculate the amount of fabric needed for processing!
