Fabric for the Stage.
Fabric for the Ward.
We supply flame-rated fabric for two worlds — the theater house and the hospital ward — by the bolt or cut to your dimensions, certified to NFPA 701 and shipped with its paperwork. Need the panels made up? We handle that too.

How We Work
Spec, sample, quote, cut, delivery. No fabric is cut before you've approved it.
1. Spec
Send us your dimensions — track length, finished drop, fullness, fabric, and any code requirements. Rough numbers are fine to start; we confirm everything before cutting.
2. Sample
We ship physical swatches so you can check color, weight, and hand under your own lighting. Stage light and hospital fluorescents flatter fabric very differently.
Request a sample3. Quote
You get an itemized quote — fabric, any make-up, and shipping — with the current lead time stated up front.
Start a quote4. Cut to order
We cut your fabric to length and railroad it to spec. Need finished panels — hems, fullness, webbing, grommets, mesh tops? We'll make them up too, exactly as the room calls for.
5. Delivery
Your order ships nationwide with its flame-certification paperwork included — documentation for your fire marshal, not just our word.

Our Story
Fred Krieger entered the textile business in the 1950s and, in 1979, put his own name on the door — Fred Krieger & Co., supplying innovative textiles to the theatrical industry that became widely used in theaters across the nation. His son Dan joined in 1983 and leads the family company today, upholding the honest, caring business ethic it was built on.
Today the company serves two rooms — the theater house and the hospital ward — with the same discipline: flame-safe fabric, cut and certified with care, and dimensions taken seriously. A well-stocked warehouse means zero-day lead times on many fabrics, and every order runs the same route: spec, sample, quote, cut, delivery.
Two Rooms, One Standard
Stage velours and cubicle fabrics are held to the same bar: tested flame performance and construction that survives daily use.
Safety on Paper
NFPA 701 documentation ships with the fabric. Your fire marshal and facilities team get the certificates, not just assurances.
Cut to Your Order
Order fabric by the bolt or cut to length — and when you need finished panels, we make them up to your dimensions: drop, fullness, mesh height. Stock sizes are a convenience, not a limit.
