Stretch Fabric Stage Design

Church stage designs are centered mostly on lighting which will more than likely be your most expensive component to your stage. To complement your lighting and big investment, it is important to select a material that is light receptive and complements your lighting in multiple ways.

Traditionally used to achieve angelic shapes, stretch fabric has become even more popular with houses of worship due to its low-cost and durability. Our Flat Panel Sails offer a variety of shapes and dimensional flexibility that many have found to be a great solution for nearly all types of stage design. However, as more and more churches have found success with our stretch fabric, they’ve incorporated even more of our products into their set.

For instance, our projection screens come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to add video and provide artistic projection opportunities. Our Panel Wall Tiles are a powerful solution to your background on stage. These come in a variety of stock geometric shapes and sizes and can incorporate projection screens into them. If you’re looking for a circular projection screen, our Full Moons are a perfect framed circle ranging in a variety of diameters. These screens can be very helpful in achieving depth and work extremely well with lighting or projection. As with any stage design, combining multiple elements will allow you to create an atmosphere that is full of depth and creativity.

At Stretch Shapes, we use IFR Stretch Fabric that is engineered for safety, durability and high performance stretch. The IFR Stretch Fabric is inherently flame retardant (IFR), and will remain so even after repeated deep cleaning. It passes NFPA 701, CSFM Title 19, B1, ASTM E84 and CAN/ULC-S109-03 standards. This means you can feel comfortable installing our stretch fabric in your house of worship.

We manufacture all frames to work flawlessly with our stretch fabric, allowing you to project video or reflect light.

Stretch Shapes can fabricate a complete stage design or even smaller elements that you want to incorporate into your set. Whatever you’re after, our team of designers and fabricators are here to help you achieve the look you want.

Dye Sublimation Printing

We also offer dye sublimation printing on all our stretch fabric products. This means you can take any of our stock or custom products and brand them to your specific church. Many organizations have created beautiful stages by printing a large flat panel sail or décor scrim and complimenting it with other shapes on each side. This is a way for you to create a unique stage that will be unlike any other.

Our printing capabilities also let us do Pantone color matching so we can match up your church’s color scheme onto any of our stretch fabric products. Stretch Shapes will always provide you with an accurate proof that will display what your graphic will look like when it’s printed on. With our dye sublimation printing process, we can print at 150 dpi, which is extremely high for dye sub printing. This will allow you to achieve rich, photo realistic prints that will help make your church stage design really pop.
When thinking about church stage design ideas, it is important to keep in mind a few things and to understand just how Stretch Shapes can help you along the way.

Color Sets the Mood

Warm colors, like yellow and red convey warmth, energy and intimacy. They’re frequently associated with fire and heat as well. Cooler colors, like blue and green convey peace, strength, growth and grandeur. They’re often associated with water, sky or ice. Neutral colors, like black or white convey mystery or sophistication (black), or purity and softness (white). These colors can also help apply focus onto other colors.

Stretch Shapes currently stocks 24 colors for you to choose from when designing your next church stage or church stage backdrop. Using our panels in white and leveraging lighting allows you to choose any color you like by simply controlling the color of your lighting. Whatever your color choice is, Stretch Shapes has a solution for you.

Church Stage Lighting

Using church stage lighting helps focus attention, set moods and like color, help communicate emotion. Illumination naturally draws the eye toward it and away from darkness. Using colored lighting, you can control each of these, however you choose. All of Stretch Shapes’ products are light receptive and can be used to achieve numerous lighting effects. This allows you to come up with a very contemporary church stage design idea.

Designs and Shapes

Geometric shapes like squares, circles and diamonds communicate structure, order and efficiency. Organic shapes, are generally asymmetrical with more curves and uneven surfaces. With the right lighting, they can be more comforting and natural feeling. Keep in mind too that the shape of your décor elements not only work with the positive space they create, but also the negative space that their edges provide. Edges control what you can see around them, cast shadows and create dimensionality.

Our Flat Panel Sails, Full Moon Circle Screens, and Panel Wall Tiles come in a variety of shapes for you to choose and pull ideas from. Have a custom shape in mind? With our CNC fabric cutter and pattern experts, we are confident that we can help you achieve just about any shape imaginable.

Size

Whether you’re looking for church stage designs for small churches or large, it is important to size your church backdrop accordingly. Large elements on a small stage make the stage seem larger and can attract focus to the elements on stage. Small elements can make a large stage seem smaller, creating a more intimate setting for your audience. It is also important to see your stage as a scene with depth consisting of a foreground, middle ground and background. The size of the elements you choose indicates position and creates visual hierarchy on stage. Generally, larger elements will make up your background, with smaller elements in the foreground.

Our standard Flat Panel Sails come as short as 4′, and as long as 30′. Stretch Shapes’ Full Moon Circle Screens can go up to 12′. Panel Wall Tiles are as small as 2′. If you need something smaller or larger to help create your stage, we can create any of our products in a custom size as needed.

When creating your church stage design, you need to consider color, lighting, shape and size. These four design elements play a large role in creating effect, and setting a mood. It may sound challenging, but it really isn’t, especially if you reach out and utilize the Stretch Shapes team to help make your decision. We have the experience and education necessary to help you achieve your desired aesthetic.
