STRATUS Festoon System

If you are looking for a curtain that – as in a theatre – disappears elegantly upwards into the fly tower, but you do not have a ceiling height of 20 m, STRATUS is the perfect solution.

The system stands out for decades of proven reliability, an easily replaceable curtain, and custom‑made production tailored precisely to your individual requirements.
Stainless, non‑combustible steel bands with rounded edges ensure maximum safety, high load capacity, and exceptionally quiet operation during repeated winding and unwinding cycles.

STRATUS consists of a self‑supporting, lightweight 4‑point truss structure with an integrated winding shaft. The modular system design allows for easy expansion or adaptation. The winding drums are flexibly adjustable, enabling different band spacing widths to be implemented without difficulty.

Fast installation and dismantling, together with easy transport, also make STRATUS ideal for mobile applications.

As standard, the system is available in the characteristic “cloud” appearance as well as in a smooth version. Special shapes, such as curved or polygonal designs, can be realised on request and fully customised to your specific needs.

The configuration is customised individually – technical values are adapted to suit your requirements.
