Pipe and drape rentals in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, and Chicago.
Nothing sets the mood of an event more than the perfect lighting and ambiance.
But it can be hard to get the mood just right when the designated event space has unflattering fluorescent flickering lights and generic beige office walls that throw off the color scheme. No matter what you try, nothing takes the eye away from the sight.
A pipe and drape rental company may be what your need to solve this issue.
A pipe and drape backdrop can set the tone for events such as weddings, parties, and corporate outings that require tradeshow booths. With the right pipe and drape kit, opportunities for use are endless.
If you're looking for ambiance for your event, read this guide on everything you need to know about pipe and draping.
What Are Pipe and Drapes? Why Choose It?
Pipe and Drape consist of curtain-like fabric held by piping support beams. The fabric can be made out of various materials. You can opt for a Poly Premier fabric or choose between Banjo Drapery or Performance Velour.
The piping is sturdy steel and aluminum metal connected both horizontally and vertically to support the hanging of the fabric.
It may seem simply made, but these details are essential when setting up an event. If not done correctly with exact specifications, the party atmosphere can be thrown off course.
This fabric renting system is portable, easier to install, and less expensive than complicated setups that are thrown away right after an event is over. It not only saves you money but also frees up your time to focus on key elements of a function.
Pipe and drapes are also versatile and can be used in many ways in one event. A pipe and drape rental can be used for things such as:
Privacy: for events that need portable changing areas or room division
Backdrops: where photos are taken, or reflection for light is needed
Showcasing: perfect for events that want to showcase a cake area or special eye-catcher
Media Viewing: displays a video montage without need for a projector screen
Most importantly, the pipe and drapes are there to impress your guests and make sure the moment is filled with so many happy memories that you won't even remember what color the original walls are.
What Comes in a Pipe and Drape Rental?
Renting drapery can extend on the look you are striving for in an event. It may not be a lot to it, but certain factors are important the display fulfills its role safely.
What it includes may not always be the same, but generally, you are offered standard rental supplies, which are upgradeable.
Those standard rental supplies include:
Firstly, the draping; which comes in multiple colors and opacity for a unique look.
It also includes the bases, steel foundations that hold the integrity of the piping. You can always opt for those bases to be covered with fabric material.
You can expect the horizontal and vertical piping pieces, which come in many widths and sizes in the package as well. Keep in mind the more fabric used, the more pieces come with the piping.
You can choose to upgrade the looks with colored lighting that shine on the fabric and illuminate the room, which can cut out overhead venue lights. Or perhaps you may decide on displaying a monogram of a business along with the drapes.
Whatever you choose, pipe and drape kit professionals are there to ensure you have everything you need, even if they have to assemble the display for you.
What's the Pipe and Drape Rental Process?
With all the small moving pieces to decide on, renting a pipe and drape backdrop can seem daunting. On the contrary, the rental process is surprisingly easy as long as you follow the proper steps.
Are you looking for more utility over style for your trade show booths? First, you need to select the fabric that will enhance the theme or aim of the event. Choose a uniform masking drape for privacy.
Maybe you are the opposite, and you're looking for a statement for the backdrop of a grand entrance? Select layering fabrics that blend well together.
Next, you need to map out the exact look of the display. Keep in mind small details like drape ties, and zoom out on the big picture items, like the light brightness and the special effects display.
It's crucial to measure out all the spacing beforehand by getting a copy of the specs of the space. If your vision is to have a 10' waterfall display, but the ceiling only reaches a height of 8', it can be troublesome, especially if the piping requested is not enough or not adjustable.
You should also make notes on what needs covering and what does not. Windows, for example, should have blackout draping if sunlight is an issue.
Lastly, you'll need to budget for the rental quote provided and place the order. The more complex the display is, the higher the quote and the longer it could take to get all the necessary equipment.
By planning ahead, you'll achieve the showstopping display you've always envisioned.
