Rosco White/Diffraction Slit Drape (2606) — 4.88 m drop
Rosco’s version of the slashed curtain used across the display trade and performing arts. Overlapping 3 mm (1/8 in) vinyl strips catch and bounce light — white combined with diffraction material, which breaks light into patterns of colour.

Common questions
What is a slit drape?
A curtain of thin overlapping vinyl strips (about 3 mm wide) hung from the top. It catches and bounces light and moves with air movement — used across theatre, events and display.
How wide is a Rosco slit drape?
Each unit is 0.9 m (3 ft) wide. Rosco makes lengths of 2.44 m, 4.88 m and 7.32 m (8, 16 and 24 ft).
How do I hang it?
Fix the top edge to a batten, doorway, opening or wall with staples, tacks or tape. For a wider curtain, hang units side by side.
Do you have material data for venue requirements?
Contact us for material data.
Can I walk through it?
Yes — slit drapes are commonly used as walk-through entrances. Allow enough length so the strips hang freely.
Check your venue’s requirements before installing any drape, and contact us for material data. Information is from Rosco product data and is a guide only.
