Strands and scrims are used to strengthen or reinforce sailcloth (see laminates below). Scrims are also used as drapery in theatre and performance art. Heavier fabric scrims, however, are too tightly woven to allow the same bonding. Scrims can be semi-transparent or wholly transparent depending on the fabric used and the lighting. Other Hampshire variants were "scrims", "screens", "scrames", "screams", "creams" and "cribs". Scrims have also seen extensive use in theatre. In 2012, Madeley wrote and starred in the Lime Pictures TV movie "Scrims". He called the courtyard's landscaping "resplendent" and the four floor-level water scrims "captivating".
