Scrim, also known as Sharkstooth Scrim, is an open weave material that is used to produce a reveal effect on stage. How do you do this? Its all in the lighting. To make a scrim look opaque, it must be lit from very sharp angles, either from the sides or the top, and the area behind the scrim must be completely dark. Once the area behind the scrim is lit, the audience will be able to see through the scrim. Remove all the lights shining on the scrim and scrim will seem to disappear. Lighting is the most important factor in making this work, but you must also consider what is being revealed, how close the scrim is to the audience and the other actors or scene it is trying to reveal.
Scrim is available in FR (fire retardant) cotton and IFR (inherently fire retardant) poly in a variety of widths and colors. Please see our catalog or contact our sales department for pricing and availability

Leno or filled scrim as it is sometimes called, is used as a lighting backdrop, similar to a Muslin Cyc. Lights are shined onto the Leno and the Leno will take the color of the light. Because of Lenos texture, light is diffused and softened, making this fabric very popular with lighting designers.
