How long will helium balloons float?
The longest floating balloons are made from foil or plastic. They will remain
full and float for 7 to 14 days on average.
Latex rubber balloons will float for varying times. The larger the balloon, the
longer its floating time. A liquid sealant, Hi-Float, can be used to extend the
float time by coating and sealing the inner surface of any latex balloon larger
than 9". We automatically treat all of our helium filled latex.
9" Balloon 12 hours
11" Balloon 20 hours plain; 3 days with Hi-Float
16" Balloon 40 hours plain; 5 days with Hi-Float
36" Balloon 72 hours plain, 6 days with Hi-Float
Are balloons biodegradable or can they be
recycled?
There are two types of balloons - foil (often erroneously called mylar) and
latex. Foil balloons are not biodegradable, but can be recycled. Latex balloons
can't be recycled, but are biodegradable. See our
Balloon Facts page for more detailed information.
What Goes Into Calculating The Price
For Decor?
Our decor pricing will include a Base Price and a Set-Up Fee.
- The base price is the charge for labor and materials to produce the decor.
- The Set-up Fee is the charge to transport equipment / materials to the
location.
Do We Provide Consultations?
Yes we do, and the initial consultation at the event site, your home or
office is free of charge. If additional face to face meetings are required by
you, then you will be billed at rate of $100 for the first hour and $60 for each
additional hour. If we deem the meeting to
be in our best interest we reserve the right to waive this fee at our sole
discretion. Additional quotes or revisions carried on via phone or email will be
free of charge.
