The Full densities come in 60” (1.52m) rolls, the Half in 65” (1.65m) and the Quarter comes in 72” (1.82m) as a raw fabric, or made to order finished rag in any size for sale, or for rental from a huge variety of stock and custom sizes.

Silks

China Silk: Often referred to as “Half Silk,” this lightweight, slightly translucent natural silk fabric is used for medium diffusion. This silk drapes beautifully and is offered in warm white and black only in 45” wide(1.14m) as a raw fabric, or made to order finished rag in any size for sale, or for rental from a huge variety of stock and custom sizes.

Standard Size Chart

Half Silk: This fabric is a poly version of “China Silk,” It has a similar density as the natural fiber. This silk drapes beautifully and is offered in white at 45” width (1.14m)

Polysilk: Known as Full Silk in the film business. This man-made fabric is denser and softens and spreads the light more than the “China”. Black and white Polysilk is available in 60” (1.52m), and 130” (3.30m).

Quarter Silk: This lightweight fabric offers a very thin diffusion, just to knock the edge off. Available in 118” (2.99m) widths in black and white.

Muslins

Ideal for cycloramas, large painted backings and ceiling flats, it is commonly used as a lighting medium. It may be used both for bouncing where it gives off a soft light without any hot spot, or, as a very soft diffusion material. Our heavyweight muslin is offered in “Bleached” and “Unbleached” (natural) and is available in a variety of seamless widths; 9’ (2.74m), 12’ (3.65m), 20’ (6.09m), 33’ (10.05m) and 39.5’ (12.03m) as a raw fabric, or made to order finished rag in any size for sale, or for rental from a huge variety of stock and custom sizes.

Frosts / Hi-Lite

Full Soft Frost: This frosted vinyl product offers a light soft glow and holds its diffusion properties even when wet, making it perfect for wet weather applications. In 72” (182.88cm) wide as rolled fabric, or finished rags in any size for sale, or for rental from a large variety of stock and custom sizes.

Half Soft Frost: Just like its denser cousin, this vinyl product is a lighter density for a less soft glow. Available in two widths; 48” (121.9cm) or 96”(243.84cm) by the yard. Finished rags in any size for sale, or for rental from a large variety of stock and custom sizes.

Hi Lite: Similar to the Soft Frosts, this vinyl product is even lighter, and has the least dense diffusion, similar to a cross between Hampshire Frost and Opal, yet unlike these plastic diffusions quieter in wind, and so perfect for use on camera cars. Available in 78” (198.1cm) wide as rolled fabric, or finished rags in any size for sale, or for rental from a large variety of stock and custom sizes.
