Cortina cu deschidere austriaca

The Cortina austriaca has an elaborate drapery, suitable for situations where it is needed to emphasize its presence.
Its falduri orizontale requires a large amount of fabric, which is grouped horizontally, but an abundance of fabric is also required in the other direction to allow the drapery to fall, so that it produces the characteristic waves.
The mechanics of the Cortina austriaca are identical to those of the Cortina cu deschidere venetiana and of the Cortina cu deschidere romana.
The three curtains are totally different in terms of making and aesthetics, but all three open vertically, draping the fabric from the bottom upwards through a system of cables and guide-rings sewn on the back.
That compactation allows the vertical opening even on stages of extremely low height and where lateral space is absent.
The Cortina austriaca can also be opened just lifting the curtain as a whole with a Deschidere ghilotina system.
Even the Cortina cu deschidere venetiana and the Cortina cu deschidere romana can be lifted as a block but they become simple Cortina cu deschidere tip fluture with falduri verticale and confectionare fără falduri.
The vertical fullness allows the Cortina austriaca to be opened also with the shaped lower edge, a characteristic it shares with the Cortina cu deschidere venetiana.
The Cortina austriaca is also used for fixed backdrops, to be hung without an opening system, in which case they perform only decorative and acoustic functions, the quantity of fabric and the processing of the surface give them extremely an high acoustic absorption.
