A night sky that stretches into the dark — the fastest way to add wow to a room.

Starcloth is a black, flame-retardant drape fitted with hundreds of tiny LEDs that twinkle like a night sky. It's the single most requested element in event draping, & Drape FX manufactures its own in Leicestershire — so we can supply any size, in classic white LED or full-colour Chameleon RGB.

Unlike the heavy starcloth of old, ours are LED & made from lightweight IFR fabric: no bulky cables, transformers or dimmers. A single feature wall creates an instant focal point for a stage or dance floor; a fully draped room becomes a sparkling constellation.

Classic starcloths combine white LEDs with IFR Molton CS curtains for a timeless starry backdrop. Chameleon RGB starcloths shift across the full colour spectrum — colour changes, twinkles & chase effects, all DMX controlled to match your theme or branding.

Alongside the cloths we carry a large stock of both Chameleon & Classic starcloths, door surrounds & exit signs, & all the rigging you need — including our pipe & base systems — so your whole installation comes from one place.
