The Theatrical Reveal

Shark tooth scrim creates the classic theatrical lighting effect. When lit from the front, the fabric appears opaque — hiding whatever is behind it. Switch the lighting to behind the scrim, and it becomes transparent, revealing the scene. This reveal effect has been a staple of theatre productions, concerts, and events for over a century.

What makes our scrim different is that it's marine-grade polyester. Standard theatrical scrim is delicate cotton that disintegrates outdoors. Ours is made to get wet and stay outside permanently — making it perfect for outdoor events, art installations, and permanent architectural features.

  • Front-lit: opaque, hiding what is behind
  • Back-lit: transparent, revealing the scene
  • Marine-grade polyester — permanent outdoor use
Colors & Sizing

Available in white and silver, with roll widths of 120" and 144" (12ft). Panels can be seamed together for any size — making it practical for large stage backdrops, outdoor projection surfaces, and building-scale art installations.

White scrim provides the strongest contrast between opaque and transparent states. Silver scrim offers a subtler effect with a more neutral appearance when front-lit.

  • White: strongest reveal contrast
  • Silver: subtler, more neutral appearance
  • Up to 12ft wide rolls — seamable for any size
Theatre Scrim Applications

Theatre productions, concerts and events, outdoor projection, art installations, stage backdrops, and decorative architectural applications. Because our scrim is marine-grade, it opens up possibilities that standard cotton scrim can't handle — permanent outdoor features, rain-exposed installations, and year-round architectural elements.

Custom-cut from giant rolls and shipped to your door. Ships in 3–7 business days.
