02  /  Soft goods, supported

One workshop. Five services. The full life of the drape.

TSA runs the full stage-drape service lifecycle in-house: hire, custom fabrication, installation, fire retardant treatment and maintenance. Every drape is flame retarded to AS 1530 standards, documented for audit, and supported Australia wide.

Drapes are not a one-time purchase. They need fitting, treating, inspecting, repairing, retreating, replacing - and sometimes, on short notice, hiring. Pick the service you need today, or hand us the long-term relationship and we'll keep the paperwork, the audit cycle and the spare-stock conversation off your desk.

Across the lifecycle

Identify

A Venue Systems Health Check tells you what is hung, what is rated and where every drape stands.

A drape is not a purchase, it is kit you run for decades. The Health Check tells you where it stands; the service cycle keeps it there.

Built for your sector

Already working in your world.

Whatever you run, the way a drape is specified, made and rated changes with the room. Find the approach built for your venue.

The workshop behind TSA soft goods

Reveal Drapes & Soft Goods, by TSA.

Australian-made soft goods for over two decades, since 2001. In-house machinists, full lifecycle - design, manufacture, install, maintain, hire. Folded into TSA in 2023. Same workshop, same craft, now backed by the scale of TSA. See the heritage on stage in our Moulin Rouge soft goods project, fabricated and installed in-house. The workshop-side detail - how each piece is made, and in which fabric - sits on the Reveal Productions site.

04  /  Common questions

Straight answers, before you call.

Which service. Whose drapes. How long. What's in the report. The questions we get most.

Start with what you have. New venue or replacement set? Custom Fabrication. Drapes already hung but the FR certificate has lapsed or never existed? FR Treatment. Drapes in service and the annual audit is due? Maintenance & Inspection. Short-term production or touring need? Drape Hire. If you're not sure, send us the brief and we'll point you at the right starting service.

Yes. Our maintenance, inspection, and FR treatment services are not limited to drapes we manufactured. We inspect, repair, clean and retreat soft goods from any supplier - flame retarded to AS 1530 standards - then hand back a written compliance report.

Yes. The hire fleet exists to cover exactly this. While custom fabrication runs in the workshop, we can supply fire-rated hire stock to keep the stage dressed and the show on. Coordinated through one account manager so the changeover is clean.

Turnaround depends on volume and condition, but most stage drape FR treatment jobs are returned within two to three weeks of receipt at the workshop. Urgent audit deadlines can usually be accommodated - flag the date when you enquire and we'll work to it.

Drape-by-drape inspection, repair notes, cleaning recommendations, FR retreatment status to AS 1530 standards, and a written compliance summary. The format is built for auditors, insurers, and venue managers - keep it on file, hand it over at renewal.

Yes. Soft goods are made and treated in-house and delivered nationally, with installation and inspection crews covering venues Australia wide - metro, regional and touring.

Tell us what the stage needs.

A drape, a treatment, an install, an inspection, a full programme. Send us the brief - we'll come back with a quote and a date that works around your show schedule.
