Project Overview
Herdman Blinds was appointed to design, supply, and install heavy-duty stage curtains at Manor Drive Academy. These blackout stage curtains were manufactured using fire-retardant fabrics to ensure compliance with UK school safety standards while delivering a professional performance space.
This project highlights our expertise in providing school stage curtains and child-safe blinds solutions across the UK.

Key features included:

- 100% blackout fabric for complete light control during performances
- Fire-retardant curtains tested to British Standards
- Professional finish to enhance the school’s assembly hall and stage area
