Here’s A Few Tips To Make Sure You Get The Most Out Of Your Balloons-

When you order your balloons we always inflate well in advance – this gives us time to detect any faults or imperfections that ‘occasionally’ can happen. Your balloon is always bagged to give it maximum protection. Once it leaves the us in tip top condition, we are no longer responsible or liable and it’s up to you to make sure you treat your balloons with extreme care.

 

Please be wary of any sharp objects – even though we bag your balloon you must take care not to hit it off doorways/roughcast walls, tree branches etc.

  • Animals/Pets – they can be a bit over enthusiastic when meeting a balloon, so keep away.
  • Extreme weather – hang on tight in the wind! If your balloon gets rained on it will not float upwards.
  • Extreme heat/sun – especially in a car, can cause it to burst.

The Weather

Helium gas reduces in cold conditions but expands when it gets back into room temperature or warmth. Foil Balloons can sometimes look a little deflated until they get back into room temperature.

Latex Balloons prefer room temperature and do not like extreme heat/sun.

Outdoor Balloon Installations

Latex balloon will oxidise in the sun – leaving your balloons looking a more Matt / powdery finish.

The hot sun can cause them to pop and the rain weighs them down. So only outside if it’s a calm, slightly overcast day.

Latex Balloons

Our Latex Balloons are all biodegradable which means they will oxidise over time.

Coloured Balloons develop a matt finish and the Diamond Clear latex become cloudy after 7/8 hours.

Float Times

(Helium)

  • 11” Latex – approx. 8-10 hours
  • 16” Latex – approx. 12-16 hours
  • 3’ Large Latex – 24-36 hours
  • 3’ Confetti Large Latex – 24 hours but may cloud over after 12 hours.


We recommend using hi-float, it doubles the float time of your balloon. (except on Confetti or Double stuffed latex balloons)

(Air – Filled)

Air-Filled latex, foils and bubbles will last for weeks….so choose a design you love!
*Please make an effort to recycle your balloons once used and dispose of correctly as they could be a choking hazard*
