Choosing a curtain track? There’s more to consider than you might think.

Manual or motorised?
Wipe effect or centre overlap?
Straight or curved?
Lightweight or heavy drapes?
Rope or chain operated?

The right system depends on your fabric, the movement you want and how the curtains will be used.

Not sure where to start? Our curtain track overview helps you compare the options and find the right fit for your setup.

The fabric is chosen. Now, how do you hang it? And does it need to move?

Beyond fabrics and curtains, ShowTex also develops hardware to suspend and move drapes, projection screens and other scenic elements.

From fabric weight and movement to mounting and safety requirements, there's quite a bit to consider. Our specialists help you find the right combination of tracks, motors and controls for your design.

There's nothing quite like building a pavilion for a World Expo. 🌍

We've seen it first-hand, collaborating with creative and construction teams on numerous installations at Expo 2020 Dubai and Expo 2025 Osaka.

And now, the next one is taking shape.
📍 EXPO 2027 Belgrade.

Our team is already on site in Serbia, working on several exciting projects. But there's plenty more to come, and we'd love to hear what you're planning.

Working on a pavilion for Belgrade? Let's explore what we can create together.

Moving panels. A changing stage.

White panels of projection fabric play a central role in the stage design for ’ Falling Apart Together tour. As they move into different formations, the projected visuals transform the look and feel of the stage throughout the concert.

And when the show ends? The whole setup travels to the next venue.

Floating 3D visuals, with the musicians still in full view. ✨

For Geoffrey Secco’s Concert sous hypnose: ORIGINES, ShowTex projection tulles create the illusion of images floating in front of the three musicians, without obscuring the performers.

Suitable for touring, the tulles travel from venue to venue as part of an intriguing show combining live music, hypnosis and projected visuals.

Curious about creating a similar effect?

Een leeg podium. Licht aan. Doek erin. En ineens is alles anders. ✨

Tijdens het Gala van het Nederlands Theater 2026 vormden de geschilderde achterdoeken van ShowTex het decor voor de winnaars, de speeches en het applaus. Doeken met een geschiedenis: sommige dragen zelfs een brandweerstempel uit de jaren dertig.

Dit jaar kregen ze opnieuw een plek in de schijnwerpers. Een ode aan het theaterambacht én een mooi voorbeeld van wat hergebruik kan opleveren.

Maar wat kan een doek eigenlijk allemaal doen? Neem een kijkje achter de schermen en ontdek hoe textiel, licht en vakmanschap samen een podium tot leven brengen.

Robyn’s Sexistential Tour has been keeping us busy!

A stage design that travels the world needs more than good looks. For Robyn’s tour, custom-curved curtain tracks and stage drapes are made to handle repeated load-ins, performances, load-outs and transport from one venue to the next.

And along the way, ShowTex teams across Europe and the US help keep things running smoothly.

If these photos already spark your imagination, imagine seeing it all come together live!

Golden fringes, moving lights and a little sparkle ✨

For Sombr’s live performance at the BRIT Awards, golden SlitDrape created a shimmering backdrop that changed with the light. Its lightweight metallic fringes caught and reflected the stage lighting strand by strand, shimmering with every gentle puff of air.

Same stage, different mood as the sun goes down.

For Froukje’s outdoor concerts, the backdrop was designed to work with whatever the evening brought. Daylight, stage lighting and even the breeze all changed how the combination of matte PVC strips and silver fringe looked and moved.

The whole setup travelled with Froukje on a custom-curved track throughout her summer solo tour.
