When filled with helium a latex (rubber) balloon will usually last about 12 hours and then start to deflate. A foil (Mylar) balloon will usually last about 2 weeks and then start to deflate.

When filled with helium, a latex balloon will usually last twelve hours and then start to deflate. A microfoil balloon will usually last 4 to 5 days before it starts to deflate - very slowly. See similar questions...

You certainly can. However, you may find the need of guidance to avoid pitfalls. You can always get hourly consultation just to check to see if you are on the right track. But, remember this is an exciting and fun time don't get bogged down with the shopping and budget detail. [ Back To Top ] See similar questions...

Latex balloons have a limited life of about 18-24 hours for 11-12" pearlshine (metallic) balloons, so inflation should be done as close to the event time as possible. We are able to supply a product which can increase the float life of a helium inflated latex balloon. See similar questions...

Foil balloons will remain buoyant for about 2 weeks. They stay firm for the first 2-3 days and after may need slight re-inflation for firmness (not buoyancy), which can be done carefully with a straw and air. See similar questions...

It depends on a couple of things, the size of the balloons and the tank size. Temperature and tank pressures are also factors. The chart below will give you an approximate number of balloons based on these factors. The chart assumes that the tank is full and that you're not over-inflating the balloons. Note: You won't get 125 balloons if the tank is half full and the 9'' balloons you've bought are inflated to twice that size. See similar questions...

Helium is available to buy in disposable cylinders many of which supply 9" balloons in the pack. Helium is also available to hire from your nearest party store in different sizes to suit your needs. You will need to return this when finished. See similar questions...

We do not have a minimum order. You may order as little or as many as you want. You may pick it up or we will send to you at a minimum charge. See similar questions...

Depending on the care given, a balloon envelope may last 500 or more flying hours. Considering that most balloon pilots only fly 35-75 hours per year, most balloons will last a long time. The gondola will last much longer, perhaps thousands of flight hours with proper care. See similar questions...

No. The helium filled latex balloon is contained inside a sealed helium environment (the Sparklet). Helium inflated balloons in a helium environment will last as long as air filled balloons last in an air environment. Generally round latex balloons last as long as the Sparklet lasts (3 - 5 weeks). Hearts last for 3 weeks (inflate them nice and full to get a full "heart" shape). 350's last for 2 weeks and 260's last for 1 week. See similar questions...

Balloon Thrills is a full service event decorating company and thus we do not rent our helium tanks or sell our uninflated balloons. See similar questions...

Helium balloons deflate quicker than air filled balloons because the helium particles are smaller than air particles and so escape through the balloons more easily See similar questions...

All balloons are shipped flat, without air or helium. Balloon weights and ribbons are sold separately. See similar questions...

All of are pilots are fully-trained and experienced commercially. Length of experience varies, but Ian Hooker has over 20 years of flying experience and Chris Davies over 15 years with over 1200 hours each. See similar questions...

Depending on the care it is given, a balloon envelope may last 500 or more flying hours. Some colours are more resist to sun shine and the effect of heat ageing. In the past red has been particularly prone to early failures. Considering that most sport pilots fly from 35-75 hours a year, balloons do last a long time. See similar questions...

The expected life of flowers can vary widely based on the type of flower and how they are cared for. Flowers such as Daisies, Carnations and Alstroemeria have a longer shelf life than more sensitive flowers such as Iris and Roses. We offer a 48 hour guarantee on our flowers. If you notice any flowers that are starting to wilt within the first 48 hours or the arrangement doesn't seem as fresh as it should be please let us know immediately. See similar questions...
