Windsor, Ontario
Music-reactive pixel lighting for Windsor
Windsor is Canada's southernmost major city, facing Detroit across the Detroit River. Its riverfront, downtown and neighbourhood BIAs such as Walkerville and Via Italia are made for winter evenings out, and a synchronised display shows up well across the water.
Winter installation in Windsor
Milder and more humid than most of Ontario, with less snow but more freezing rain and frequent freeze-thaw. Ice build-up is a bigger factor here than deep cold.
How we install for it
- Sealed connections and drip loops for freezing rain and humidity.
- Mounts that tolerate ice load on rooflines and trees.
- Wind-rated anchoring on the open riverfront.
- Year-round rooflines are practical in the milder climate.
Commercial districts and BIAs in Windsor
Downtown, the riverfront parks and neighbourhood BIAs give Windsor several distinct places for a show, along with retail centres, hospitality venues and event spaces.
When to book
Book by early autumn; the milder climate also makes spring and summer roofline installs easy.
