Float times can reduce if balloons are used outdoors, exposed to heat and direct sunlight or in very

cool environments. 


Unlike foil balloons, latex balloons start letting out helium from the moment they are inflated and

start reducing in size, hence, we recommend having your latex balloons delivered or picked up closer

to your event so it looks its best throughout your celebration.  

 

Foil balloons will remain full and tout for 2-3 days. They can continue to float for a week or longer.

The balloons can shrivel in the air condition, however, when exposed to warmer air the balloons will

return to its normal state.


Be Balloon Smart

Faraday's five smart tips for balloon use 


"Please secure me with a weight"

 

"Please don't let me fly into the air and become litter - I don't want to be trapped in a tree or

on power lines"

 

"I love kids. Young children with balloons should always be monitored"

(Children can choke or suffocate on un-inflated or broken balloons)

 

"If I am deflated or popped properly discard me"

 

"Despite the funny voice helium can give you, it should never be inhaled"

 

Helium Safety Tips

 

Helium is perfectly safe in balloons and safe when balloons are deflated in open and well-ventilated

areas. Helium is not toxic nor flammable. However, exposure to heat or fire can lead to increase in

pressure which will cause it to rupture.
