Friends,
In what is a new endeavor for me, I am getting quotes for a new grand curtain and teaser. Over the summer, 1/2 of one of the panels fell due to dry rot.
I have two quotes. Both use 25oz FR memorable velour. However, one quote includes a liner which is "heavy weight Ranger Cloth FR color black." The claim is it will add life to the curtain and help protect it. It adds about another $2600 to the quote. My grand is a traveler about 51' wide, 22 ft high.
My question: Is the liner worth the expense? I go to about 5 or 6 other theaters in the area and I have never seen a liner like that. Is this type of liner common place and I just don't know it? My operations manager is willing to go for the extra $ for the liner, but I don't want to spend my school district's money like that (we need other drapes replaced as well) if it really isn't needed.
Would love to hear thoughts on this. Thank you.
