Planning Pipe and Drape

One of our experts will help guide you through our custom pipe & drape process. Please review the questions below and be prepared to discuss them with our team so we can make recommendations on sizing, fabric and color.

SIZING

• What is the clear-height of the ceilings in the room? (this is the height of a building from the floor to the bottom of the lowest hanging item on the ceiling, such as sprinkler heads or lights)

• How high do you want the drape to go?

• What is the linear footage of the area you’d like covered?

• Would you like one long wall or individual sections?

• If you’d like sections, please provide the linear square feet of each section.

COLOR & FABRIC

• What color* drape are you considering? (We have Black, Gray, White, Ivory, Sheer White and more.)

• Is the pipe & drape decorative (to add color and texture, backdrops, etc.) or functional (to divide a room, conceal an area, etc.)?

Please note, we do not do pipe & drape outdoors.

*If you don’t see the color you’d like listed, please ask our team of experts.
