Turn the heat up on your indoor event with cold pyrotechnics. More commonly referred to as indoor pyrotechnics, cold pyros are a way of safely adding flash and sparkle to your event.
What are indoor pyrotechnics?
Indoor pyrotechnics are designed to add spectacle to a performance. Cold pyro can be bright and showy, such as the sparkling jets produced by the Sparkular machines, create an atmosphere with CO2 and Smoke machines, or celebrate the end of a great event with Confetti Canons.
Whether you’re organising a concert, a club night, a sporting event, a talent show, musical, or photo shoot, indoor pyrotechnics will add the kind of excitement your audience will appreciate. They’ll add so much enjoyment to the show, ensuring everyone leaves on a high.
Ideal for smaller venues
If space is an issue, don’t worry. There’s always something you can do to create the right effect and keep everyone safe. Talk to us about the limitations and restrictions of your venue and we’ll come up with a solution that works for your event. Indoor pyrotechnic machines come in a range of sizes, and there are also handheld options available that will be perfect for smaller spaces, but also help you produce sparks, fog and confetti wherever you need them. These kinds of effects are always a favourite with the crowds and mean you’re not confined to where you initially decide to place the machines.
Making your event safely Sparktacular
The invention of the Sparkular machine has revolutionised the world of indoor pyrotechnics, enabling indoor events to produce exciting effects that are similar to the fire jets you can produce in stadiums and at large outdoor events.
The main advantage of the Sparkular is that the sparks it produces aren’t as scorching as traditional pyrotechnics which will burn as hot as 1,200oF/ 650oC. Traditional pyrotechnics therefore need a wide exclusion zone to ensure safety. Even when they’re initially shot from the machine, the temperature of the sparks from the Sparkular are a lot lower. In addition, the sparks themselves aren’t flammable and cool extremely quickly, which means performers can safely get as close as just one metre from a Sparkular machine. This is why they’re so popular for creating stunning backdrops during performances, or as a way of making a photo shoot shine.
An additional safety measure on Sparkular machines is that they are completely controllable. If necessary, you can stop a jet midstream. They are fully programmable which means they can be used in a preprogrammed display, and the jet heights are adjustable.
We also sell the granules that produce the sparks – search for Sparkular Powder in our shop or ask us for advice about the size of granules you need.
Blowing smoke with CO2 machine hire
Need to create a foggy night, or surround your performers with atmospheric smoke? Talk to us about the best CO2 jet to use to create the effect you need. If you want to create a spooky or exciting atmosphere, the Low Fogger will cover the floor with as much fog as you need. Alternatively, a jet of smoke is a great way of emphasising a beat; or a couple of sonic boom jets can quickly fill a stage with smoke out of which your star can appear.
Confetti madness
Everyone loves a bit of confetti… so a lot of confetti is going to wow their socks off! Confetti blasters come in a range of sizes, some large enough to be capable of shooting confetti across a sports stadium. For indoor events, the Confetti Clubblower is probably the best, enabling you to shoot confetti up to 8 metres. Handheld Confetti Guns are also extremely popular, especially with DJs who use them to whip up excitement in the crowd.
The type of confetti you shoot from the canons is as important as hiring the canons themselves. We have a big selection of confetti, from snow to stars, tissue to metallic, multicoloured or single coloured. We even have neon confetti – perfect for club nights.
Confetti cannons can be supplemented with electric handheld canons which are cheap to buy and easy to use, allowing you to fire small bursts of confetti wherever you are.
