Frequently asked questions
Set Surfaces makes reusable fabric backdrops and panels for studios. SETPanels and SETSkins combine into a SETSystem, a lightweight freestanding set that changes look in minutes. No paint, no timber build, no flat going to landfill afterwards.

SETPanel is the base, SETSkin is the surface, SETSupport clips on to make it freestanding. Together that is SETSystem.
SETSkins change over in 3 minutes. [Watch the video: add link]
SETPanels have supports that attach to the back. Watch the video.
We also offer printed SETFloors, printed in easy to transport 8' x 4' sections.
