All our advertising balloons and blimps need to be filled with Helium gas so that they will be lighter than air and fly.
Helium gas is the only gas that can be safely used in filing your advertising balloon as it is non-flammable.
Helium gas is available from most gas outlets.
Helium cylinders are heavy, so it is best to have your gas supplier deliver the helium to your site.
Most gas supply company's charge a monthly rental on the cylinder – be sure to check how much they charge as leaving empty cylinders on site can be costly.
One extra-large Helium cylinder will cost +- R3900.00 and will fly the 4,7m Blimp or 2,5m advertising balloon for up to seven days.
After the initial 7 days, then you will need a second cylinder for weekly Helium top up.
The second Helium cylinder will last 6 -8 weeks.
