  • Professional Finish: The pleated acrylic drapes beautifully, far better than simple cloths.
  • Clip Compatibility: Clips work best with Gopak tables; check your table edge thickness.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Derby Arena needed a fast, reliable, and  professional-looking solution to dress dozens of tables for a major business expo. Their existing linen was time-consuming to launder and  press, and  they wanted a safer, fire-retardant option.

"The Gopak valances were brilliant. The team had the entire hall set up in record time. The clips are straightforward, and  the deep blue colour gave the whole event a cohesive, premium feel. They looked fantastic and  stored away easily afterwards."

Robert Green – Operations Director

The switch to the Gopak CE881 table valance resulted in a 30% reduction in table setup time and  eliminated laundering costs for that event.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, unpack the valance and  allow it to hang for a short while to let the pleats settle.
  • Ensure the edge of your table is clean and  dry for the clips to grip effectively.
  • Space the plastic clips evenly along the top edge of the table, roughly every 30-40cm.
  • Hook the top seam of the valance securely onto the clips, ensuring it sits straight.

Keeping It Going

  • This product is wipe-clean only. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove any spills or marks.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the material and  its fire-retardant properties.
  • For storage, either hang the valance or fold it loosely along the pleats to maintain its shape.
  • Periodically check the plastic clips for any signs of stress or damage and  replace if necessary.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Table Dressing

Not sure what fits best for your venue? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Measure Your Tables

This deep blue table skirt panel has a 630mm drop, perfect for standard Gopak staging. Double-check your table height to ensure you get the right coverage.

Check Your Material

Fire-retardant acrylic is a fantastic choice for durability and  safety in public venues. It's a low-maintenance option compared to traditional linens which require regular laundering.

Consider the Colour

A banquet table skirt in blue offers a professional, corporate feel suitable for a wide range of formal events. For parties, you might consider brighter colours, but blue is a safe, versatile bet.

Fixing Method Matters

Clips are incredibly fast for repeated use in busy environments. They are far quicker than Velcro or other methods, saving your team valuable setup time.

Plan for Storage

To keep pleated valances looking their best, you'll need a good storage solution. Hanging them up or laying them flat is ideal to prevent unwanted creases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I wash this valance in a washing machine?

A: No, we strongly advise against machine washing. It is a wipe-clean only product to protect the material's pleats and  fire-retardant treatment.

Q: How many clips are included with each panel?

A: Each 1-metre panel is supplied with enough plastic clips for a secure and  tidy attachment to a standard table edge.

Q: Is the material see-through?

A: No, the deep blue acrylic material provides excellent, solid coverage, completely hiding table legs and  any items you might want to store underneath.

Q: Can these be used for outdoor events?

A: They are designed primarily for indoor use. While occasional, dry outdoor use is fine, prolonged exposure to sun and  rain can degrade the material over time.

Q: How do I join multiple panels for a very long table?

A: The panels are designed to be hung flush against each other. The pleated design helps to naturally conceal the join, creating a continuous and  seamless appearance.

Q: What specific tables does the Gopak CE881 table valance fit?

A: It's designed to perfectly complement Gopak's own range of staging and  folding tables, but the clips often work with other brands that have a similar table edge thickness.

Q: Is it easy to transport for a mobile catering business?

A: Absolutely. Weighing just 0.24kg per panel, it is incredibly lightweight and  easy to pack, carry, and  store, making it ideal for event professionals on the move.

Q: Will the deep blue colour fade in sunlight?

A: The colour is robust for indoor lighting. However, to ensure maximum longevity and  prevent any potential fading, we recommend storing it away from direct, prolonged sunlight.

Why Fire-Retardant Material is a Must-Have for Public Venues

You often see 'fire-retardant' on a spec sheet, but what does it actually mean for your business? It doesn't mean the material is fire-proof. Instead, the acrylic has been treated to be significantly less flammable. It will resist catching a flame, and  if it does ignite, it's designed to slow the spread of the fire dramatically. Think of it like a seatbelt for your event decor. You hope you'll never need it, but its presence is a crucial, non-negotiable safety measure that is essential for compliance in public spaces, protecting your property and, most importantly, giving people precious extra time in an emergency.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Schools & Colleges: Perfect for dressing stages during assemblies, prize-givings, and  open day events.
  • Hotels & Conference Centres: To create a uniform, professional look for buffets, seminars, and  registration desks.
  • Community Halls & Churches: An ideal choice for quickly smartening up trestle tables for fairs and  functions.
  • Exhibition & Event Organisers: A lightweight, reusable conference table dressing panel for stands and  presentation areas.
