Smooth, Reliable Curtain Control
Effortless curtain movement starts with the right track system. At School Stage, we design, supply and install manual and motorised curtain tracks for schools, theatres and community venues of every size. Each system is engineered for strength, precision and durability — ensuring your stage curtains glide smoothly, safely and quietly show after show.
Whether you need a simple hand-drawn system or a fully automated motorised setup, our bespoke track installations combine ease of use, safety compliance and long-term reliability.
Integration & Control Options
Our track systems can be installed as stand-alone or integrated into your lighting, AV or automation control network.
Motorised units can interface with stage lighting cues or remote control panels, giving staff and technicians centralised, easy operation.
We also retrofit new tracks to existing drapes or update older manual systems to modern motorised control.
