Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harrogate Conference Centre in North Yorkshire needed a fast and  effective way to tidy up their modular staging for a series of high-profile corporate events. Their existing solution was time-consuming and  looked worn.

"The Gopak stage valance panels were brilliant. Our crew had the entire 20-metre stage front skirted in under 15 minutes. They look incredibly smart, and  the fire-retardant certificate is essential for our compliance records. The difference in appearance is night and  day."

Robert Miller – Operations Manager

The upgrade directly contributed to positive feedback from two major clients and  streamlined their event setup process, saving an estimated 30 minutes of labour per event.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the edge of your Gopak stage is clean and  free from dust before attaching.
  • Start at one corner, securely attaching the first clip before moving along the length.
  • Align the top of the valance with the top edge of the stage for a neat, level finish.
  • For longer stages, slightly overlap the ends of each 1-metre section for a continuous look.

Keeping It Going

  • To clean, simply wipe down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store the valance either gently rolled or neatly folded to protect the pleats.
  • Periodically check the plastic clips for any signs of stress or damage.
  • Ensure the valance is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Stage Skirting

Not sure what fits best for your venue? Here are a few things to think about before you buy.

Measure Your Stage

First, check the height from the floor to the top of your stage to ensure 230mm is the right fit. Then, measure the full perimeter you need to cover.

Check Safety Compliance

For any public space—schools, halls, hotels—fire retardant material is not just a feature, it's a safety essential. Always prioritise it.

Consider the Attachment

Clip-on systems like this are fast and  durable. Other options like Velcro can wear out over time and  collect fluff and  debris.

Match Your Aesthetic

Black is a versatile, professional choice that works almost anywhere. Pleated designs offer a classic, textured look compared to flat panels.

Think About Storage

If you're constantly setting up and  tearing down, a lightweight, easy-to-store option like this will save you time and  storage space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many valance sections do I need for my stage?

A: Each section is 1 metre (1000mm) wide. Simply measure the total length of the sides of the stage you wish to cover, and  that's how many you'll need.

Q: Will this fit a stage that isn't made by Gopak?

A: It is specifically designed for the Gopak staging system. It may work with other stages if they have a similar solid edge for the clips to grip onto, but we can't guarantee a perfect fit.

Q: How do you clean the pleated material?

A: The acrylic material is easy to care for. Simply wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the fabric's finish.

Q: Is the material heavy or difficult to handle?

A: Not at all. Each 1-metre section weighs only 0.2kg, making it extremely lightweight and  easy for one person to manage and  install.

Q: Is the stage fascia trim 230mm completely opaque?

A: Yes, the material is opaque and  designed to completely hide the stage legs, framework, and  any cables stored underneath.

Q: How durable are the plastic clips?

A: The clips are made from a robust plastic designed for repeated use, providing a secure grip time and  time again.

Q: Can I use this stage skirting outdoors?

A: It's primarily designed for indoor use. Outdoor conditions like rain and  dirt could damage the material and  affect its appearance over time.

Q: Do the pleats stay in place after storage?

A: Yes, the material is designed to hold its pleats. Storing it neatly rolled or gently folded will help maintain its crisp appearance.

More Than Just a Pretty Fascia: Why Fire Retardant Material Matters

When you see 'fire retardant' on a spec sheet, it's easy to gloss over, but in a public space, it's one of the most important features. This doesn't mean the valance is fireproof; nothing truly is. Instead, think of it like a fire blanket versus a regular tea towel. If a stray spark from faulty equipment were to hit it, the specially treated acrylic material is designed to resist ignition and  slow down the spread of flames significantly. This crucial delay can be the difference-maker, giving staff and  visitors vital extra seconds to react and  evacuate safely. It’s a core part of your venue’s due diligence and  provides critical, unseen protection for every single event.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Schools & Universities: Ideal for adding a professional touch to assemblies, drama productions, and  graduation ceremonies quickly and  safely.
  • Hotels & Conference Centres: Essential for creating a sleek, uniform look for business conferences, weddings, and  banquets.
  • Community Halls & Churches: An affordable way to smarten up temporary staging for fairs, concerts, and  community gatherings.
  • Event Hire Companies: A durable, reusable, and  easy-to-transport event display valance 230mm for trade shows and  client events.
