Who We Are
Shear Display, a division of Sid Shear Ltd., is widely recognized as a dynamic Canadian market leader in providing innovative, seasonal and theme-based decorative lighting displays and flag and banner presentations – all with unsurpassed value.
At Shear Display, decorating is not just about strapping up lights and garland or putting banners on poles. Instead, it is about creating a feeling. With over 55 years in the business, we understand what it takes to deliver the look you want to achieve that feeling. Our highly talented display consultants help you design the right package at the right price to give you the results you want.
What We Make
From distinctive traditional holiday motifs to story-telling designs and images, we have what you need to make your display presentation a resounding success. Our lines of display products are made of sturdy durable materials and top-of-the-line finishes designed to last. Our electrical components are built to work reliably in all seasons and are designed to meet all safety requirements.
In addition to our regular product lines, our talented design team has a wealth of experience in designing custom displays and display products to meet your unique requirements.
What We Do
In addition to manufacturing our products, we offer a full range of display-related services to give you complete peace of mind. Our experienced field technicians can help you install and remove your displays safely and reliably at times that are most convenient to you and your customers. Because displays are typically only used for part of the year, we also offer storage services in our secure, insured facility, located in Drumbo, ON.
Given the quality and durability of our display products, we also offer a unique refurbishing and re-ornamenting program. Under this program, we help you achieve a fresh new look each year while “leveraging” your original display investment. We do this by having interchangeable lighting and cladding components that can be used to create different lighting, colour and texture schemes and combinations within the original frame structure. For clients with more restrictive budgets, we offer display rental and leasing programs. Our programs offer flexible terms that can be tailor-made to suit your particular needs and circumstances.
Our Clientele
At Shear Display, no job is too big or too small. Over the years, we have taken on a wide variety of projects of widely varying scope and complexity. We have a multitude of contracts with industry-related suppliers that enable us to deliver exactly what our clients are looking for, however unique.
We also have extensive experience working with third party teams on planning and implementing large-scale projects such as the Cavalcade of Lights in Toronto and the Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights and Casino.
For over half a century, we have been creating decorative displays for Canadian and American cities, towns and communities, neighbourhood and business associations, government agencies, corporations and event coordinators. Our displays can be found on Canadian Tire, Sobey’s, IGA, Home Hardware and Tru Value Hardware stores; corporate offices such as Toyota and General Motors; local communities and at festivals and events across Canada from Haines Junction, Yukon to St. John’s, Newfoundland.
