A3: Cold air inflatables are the most durable type of inflatable. The life span really depends on how well it is taken care of. If the inflatable is kept clean and is properly maintained the life span should be between 1½ -10 years. Some people use their inflatables 356 days a year and some people use theirs periodically for events and such. This will have an impact on the lifespan.

A4: Cold air inflatables are made out of a PVC coated nylon material. This is the best material for durability since it is weather resistant, tear resistance and very strong.

A5: Inflatables are great because they can be used in a variety of ways. The traditional ways are to install a giant advertising inflatable on a rooftop or on the ground. Inflatables can also be used in many innovative ways as well such suspended from a ceiling, hanging off a building, floating in water etc. Ask our team about special applications and ideas.

A6: Cold air inflatables are tied in place. Ropes go from D-ring anchor points on the inflatable to study anchor points below. When installing on the ground for an extended period of time it is bet to time on to large stakes which are driven 24”-36” inches into the ground. For short term use, the inflatable can be anchored to surrounding elements such as water barrels, light poles, trees etc. When installing on the roof, it can be tied onto eyelets that are fastened into the structure.

A7: Inflatables last longer when they are kept clean. It is best to clean the inflatable every few months of use. Do not use harsh chemicals. Simple Green or some other mild cleaner is best to use. Keep the inflatable inflated and spray with a power washer then scrub down with a semi-stiff brush. Do not spray too close or with too much force from the power washer. Let the inflatable dry completely before you pack it away.

A8: Since there is constant air flow and air pressure, small holes and rips will not affect the performance of a cold air inflatable very much.
