Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Playhouse in Bath needed a smarter way to manage its bustling foyer queues during interval and pre-show rushes. Their old, retractable tape barriers felt cheap and constantly needed replacing.
"The Bolero red barrier system immediately elevated the look of our lobby. It feels so much more in keeping with the theatre's character. Our patrons know exactly where to queue for the bar, and the whole space feels calmer and more organised, even when it's packed."
Michael Davies – Theatre Manager
The change resulted in a more efficient bar service, reducing queue times and increasing front-of-house sales by an estimated 10% during peak periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack your new canvas barrier and the included fixing accessories from the box.
- Position your barrier posts (sold separately) to map out your desired queue or walkway.
- Simply use the clips on each end of the barrier to securely attach it to the loops on the posts.
- Stand back and adjust the post distance for a taut, professional-looking finish.
Keeping It Going
- For day-to-day dust or minor spills, a quick wipe with a clean, damp cloth is all you need.
- For a deeper clean, the polyester fabric is fully machine washable – just follow the care label instructions.
- Periodically check that the metal clips are functioning correctly and are free from debris.
- When storing, roll the barrier neatly to prevent deep creases from setting in.

The Bolero Standard: An Investment in Customer Experience
Choosing Bolero furniture and front-of-house equipment is about more than just filling a space; it's a strategic decision to invest in your customer's journey from the moment they arrive. This canvas crowd control barrier is a prime example of their philosophy. It’s built not just to direct traffic, but to communicate quality and care. The durable polyester and robust fixings signify a product made for the rigours of a commercial setting, reducing the long-term cost and hassle of replacing inferior alternatives. Furthermore, the built-in BS5852 fire retardancy demonstrates a commitment to safety and compliance that goes beyond the surface level, protecting your business and your patrons. This isn't just a barrier; it's a statement that you value professionalism, safety, and a polished guest experience, reinforcing your brand's reputation with every person who walks through your door.
Explore more from BoleroMore Than Just Fabric: Why BS5852 Fire Retardancy is a Must-Have
Seeing 'BS5852 Fire Retardant' on a spec sheet might seem like technical jargon, but it's one of the most important features for any public-facing business. In simple terms, it's a British Standard that proves the fabric has been treated to significantly resist ignition from a flame, like a match or a lighter. Think of it as an insurance policy woven directly into the material. In the unlikely event of a fire, this treatment prevents the barrier from catching light easily, slowing the spread of flames and giving your staff and customers crucial extra time to evacuate safely. It’s not just about protecting property; it’s about meeting your legal and moral duty of care, ensuring your venue is as safe as it can possibly be.
