Maltbury Staging will use PLASA Focus: Leeds 2011 to launch its new, Backdrape system for weddings, parties and theatres. The system comprises curtain and aluminum support systems -also known as pipe and drape systems or backdrops - which, says the company, transform performance and event spaces. Two different types of Backdrape systems are offered, Performance and Event. Both systems include aluminium uprights on steel bases; extendable aluminium cross-bars which hook onto the uprights; drapes which thread onto the cross-bars; and storage bags for safe and portable storage.

The Event Backdrape system has been specifically designed, says Maltbury, "to transform a simple venue into a sophisticated and beautiful area on a budget". Event Backdrape comes with shimmering ivory drapes, suiting it to backdrops for weddings, parties and other special events. The Event Backdrape can be set up without tools. It is fixed at 10ft high and has an adjustable crossbar which can be secured anywhere between 6ft - 10ft.

The Performance Backdrape uses telescopic aluminium uprights to create a robust backdrop between 7ft and 12ft high without additional parts or clamps. Designed for theatres and performance venues, it uses strong steel baseplates to safely support thick wool serge drapes. Telescopic crossbars are adjustable between 6ft and 10ft with smaller crossbars available on request.

All Backdrape parts are modular, allowing users to mix and match parts to create the best frame for the application.
