Planning Your Display
The firework packs are designed on a modular basis so that they can be purchased and used individually or combined for larger displays to suit a variety of budget or site constraints. We are more than happy to discuss individual requirements and assist with selection of the most appropriate fireworks, alternatively view our pack combinations using the link on the left.
Firing Order
Traditionally shows are started with a bang - perhaps
a single rocket. After this, it is best to fire the
display in rotation - Roman Candles, Rockets, a Set
Piece or Mine and a larger calibre Rocket. If you have
a Finale bouquet, keep this until the end to produce
a spectacular display. End the display with another
bang. Try to keep the display continuous.
Tip: It is often better to have a more intense display over a shorter period of time rather than extend the duration. It is our suggestion that if budget and space allow, fireworks can be fired in pairs to increase the overall spectacular effect and widen the viewing angle.
