Introducing the Daylight Black Velvet Fabric

Daylight Black Velvet is a blackout fabric in matte black velvet, ideal for absorbing light and controlling unwanted reflections. It is available in 6×6 (1.8×1.8 m), 8×8 (2.4×2.4 m) and 12×12 (3.6×3.6 m), with larger dimensions available upon request from our sales team.

General and essential features

This textile, similar to downy netting, is intensely black, with a short-pile surface that absorbs light instead of reflecting it, making it very effective as a black flag or blackout fabric on set. It is highly absorbent without allowing any stray light, robust, flame-retardant, and designed for indoor or outdoor use.

The fabric often has elasticated corners and eyelets to facilitate its attachment to a frame or flag stand.

Practical use cases

• As an overhead on a 12×12 frame (3.6×3.6 m), it is used to completely block light or create areas of sharp shadow, without reflection of black.

• In vertical profile, it acts as a blackout panel or highly absorbent negative fill, perfect for eliminating reflections or masking a bright background.

• Ideal for scenes requiring precise control of light, particularly in indoor or studio shooting, where no light leakage is tolerated.
