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. See similar questions...

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...

Yes they will, you will have the best success with balloons 11" and larger. The Balloominator? is designed to float in helium filled balloons. At only 2.5 grams, most "helium grade" balloons will not notice the extra weight of the Balloon Light. 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...

About 95% will rise to 28,000 feet where the air is thin and very cold. The cold temperature causes the latex to become brittle. The thin air causes the balloons to expand and shatter into tiny pieces. The remaining 5% of released balloons, that do not rise high enough to shatter, drift with the wind currents for approximately 8 to 14 hours before coming down. They then revert to sap in as little as 4 to 8 weeks, depending upon environmental conditions. 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...

You will need to add helium to your inflatable every three to five days. If you're planning long-term use of your inflatable, ask your helium supplier if he/she can deliver fresh tanks as needed. See similar questions...
