Firework Types - Glossary
With all of Firebird’s Firework Displays
we try to include a selection of the following fireworks:
Roman Candles
Roman candles are an important part
of the display as well as
being a traditional English firework. Each candle produces
streams of coloured stars, mini shells or effects continually,
reaching heights of forty to fifty feet.
Mines
Mines come supplied in their own
mortar, and are fired from the ground upwards in the same way as
shells. They project a shower of coloured stars and effects directly
from the mortar.
Shells
Shells are probably the most popular
type of firework and certainly the most exciting. Fired from a mortar,
an explosion called a lifting charge propels the shell several hundred
feet into the air where it explodes to create a massive coloured
star burst effect. Shells range from two to sixteen inches.
Ground Repeaters
These are basically larger numbers of small
mortars packed together into a "cake" which fires mini
shells in rapid succession, producing a vast assortment of colours,
stars, bombs, bangs and whistles.

Lancework
Lancework is the use of hundreds
of mini jets
arranged and fused to create words and logos. The design will
burn for about one minute. Your audience is sure to be thrilled
by your customised message- a very effective way of a saying
"Goodnight".
