Da-Lite Fast-Fold Skirt

The Da-Lite Fast-Fold Skirt is the ideal finishing touch for your projection setup, delivering a polished, professional aesthetic to Deluxe, Heavy Duty Deluxe, and Truss screen systems. Designed to snap securely onto the bottom edge of Fast-Fold screens, these box-pleated skirts shield cables, stands, and unsightly gaps while elevating the overall presentation of your venue, classroom, or corporate space. Crafted with practicality in mind, the Fast-Fold Skirt combines durable materials, easy maintenance, and a standardized height to suit a wide range of screen configurations. Whether you’re hosting a conference, academic lecture, trade show, or cinematic event, this skirt adds a touch of sophistication that frames your screen without distracting from your content. The standard 45" height ensures consistent coverage, while the Ultra Velour option brings flame retardancy and a refined look that enhances both fabric texture and color depth under stage lighting.

• Box-pleated, professional finish: The skirt’s classic box-pleat design creates a refined, theater-ready silhouette that hides cabling, supports, and the lower frame of your Fast-Fold screen. Snapped securely into place, it provides a neat, tailored look from every angle. This finishing detail matters for venues where first impressions count and where the audience’s focus should remain on the presentation rather than the screen’s edges. The precise pleating also helps the fabric drape evenly along the screen’s base, ensuring a uniform appearance even in high-traffic or frequently reconfigured spaces.
• Snap-on attachment for fast setup: Designed specifically for Fast-Fold screens, the skirt attaches quickly with snaps, reducing installation time and minimizing disruption during events. The snap mechanism holds the fabric taut and stable, resisting sagging or flutter in indoor environments with varying airflow. This simple, tool-free installation is ideal for technicians who need to deploy or remove skirts between sessions or at the end of a show, preserving your workflow and keeping schedules on track.
• Standard 45" height for universal coverage: The 45" skirt height provides broad, consistent coverage below the screen, delivering a clean, professional stage presence. This height is optimized to conceal under-screens components while maintaining accessibility for maintenance and cleaning. If your venue requires specific height adjustments, the skirt’s design accommodates a cohesive appearance across multiple screen types, helping you maintain visual uniformity in multi-screen setups or modular configurations.
• Ultra Velour option with inherent flame retardancy: For venues with strict safety standards, Da-Lite Ultra Velour fabric offers an inherently flame-retardant solution without compromising aesthetics. The plush texture of Ultra Velour adds depth to color rendering under lighting, giving your screen a luxurious look while meeting fire-safety requirements. The fabric’s rich tone and soft hand feel help reduce glare and reflections, contributing to a more comfortable viewing experience for audiences while preserving the screen’s contrast and image quality.
• Washable convenience and material durability: Da-Lite Ultra Velour skirts are machine washable, simplifying maintenance for high-use environments such as universities, conference centers, and rental houses. The combination of robust construction and washable fabric means you can refresh the skirt quickly between events, keeping it looking pristine and professional over time. Regular cleaning helps remove dust, oils, and smudges that can dull color and texture, ensuring the skirt continues to complement your screen system with minimal effort.

how to install Da-Lite Fast-Fold Skirt

• Prepare the screen: Set up or position your Fast-Fold screen on a stable surface or stage as you normally would for use. Ensure the bottom edge is clean and free of debris that could interfere with the snaps.
• Align the skirt: Drape the skirt along the bottom of the screen so that the pleats face outward and the snaps align with the bottom edge of the frame. Check that the fabric is evenly distributed on both sides of the screen to avoid kinks or tucks.
• Secure with snaps: Attach the skirt to the screen using the snap fasteners along the bottom seam. Begin at one corner and work your way across, ensuring each snap is fully engaged. If the skirt has multiple sections, connect them in sequence to maintain a seamless look.
• Adjust for fit: Once snapped in place, inspect the skirt for any sagging or misalignment. Gently pull along the edges to tauten the fabric, then re-snap as needed to achieve an even, wrinkle-free finish. Confirm that the pleats sit neatly and do not interfere with the screen’s movement or operation.
• Verify maintenance access: Ensure maintenance access to the screen’s base or any attached components remains clear. If necessary, adjust the skirt from the exterior to avoid obstructing ventilation or connectivity ports, then perform a final check under varied lighting to confirm the skirt’s appearance remains professional from all viewing angles.
• Care after use: For Ultra Velour fabric, follow care instructions for washing and drying when appropriate. Allow the skirt to dry completely before reattachment if you remove it for cleaning between events, preventing moisture-related odors or fabric stiffness.
