Contour Curtain is made as a single panel with great fullness, usually about 200% of the curtain width. While the Contour Curtain has lift lines, similar to an Austrian or Brail, in the case of the Contour Curtain, each lift line is independently operated. The curtain is raised and lowered by a series of draw lines attached to the bottom edge of the curtain and running through rings on the back to pulleys attached on the batten above the curtain. As each of the lift lines act independently, by varying the lift on the individual lines, the curtain takes on many different contours. One of the most common ways of utilizing a Contour Curtain is to provide lift the center lines enough to provide an opening. This allows a performer to make a dramatic entrance, framed by a gorgeous scalloped curtain.
