Understanding float time of Helium Balloons
Helium Gas is lighter than air and that is why balloons float when filled with it.
Different things affect float time like balloon type and temperature of the environment the balloon is kept in.(A too hot and too cold environment will make the balloon deflate faster)
The normal 12″ balloon stays up for 6 to 8 hours in good weather conditions
The normal 12″ balloon with confetti inside stays up for 4 to 6 hours in good weather conditions
The normal 12″ balloon with Hi-Float inside stays up for 12 to 18 hours in good weather conditions (Costs an extra N1,000)
Foil balloons can stay up to 2 days and more in good weather conditions
Foil balloons with Customization can stay up to 15 hours or more in good weather conditions
Bubble balloons stay up to 10hours
Here is what you should do:
1. Pick up your balloons at most 2 hours to when you want to use them
2. If you plan to take pictures with them, do so immediately you get them while the balloons are still up
3. If you plan to use your balloons early in the morning for a surprise we suggest you pick up early from our place so it can stay up longer.
4. Keep the balloons in good temperature (22°- 26°). This means you would need to use your car Ac when you pick up and Ac at home as well for it to stay up longer.
***Here’s what to do in case your balloon is going down sooner…. remove any excess weights from the balloon: ribbons, writings or other balloons attached to it.
