Look after your flags and they will last longer.
Flags are exposed to various outdoor conditions. Exposure to ultraviolet rays and strong winds can lead to the deterioration of flag fibers, especially around the sewn edges at the ends.
The lifespan of a flag greatly depends on the environmental conditions it faces. Flags exposed to harsh weather will not endure as long as those flown in milder climates. To extend the life of your flag, it is advisable to take it down during strong winds. Additionally, flags flown on standard poles tend to outlast those on higher poles due to the lower wind speeds encountered.
Constant exposure, such as flying a flag 24/7, will significantly reduce its lifespan compared to flags displayed only from sunrise to sunset. The extended flying time more than halves the flag's potential longevity.
At our company, we pride ourselves on using the finest materials and dyes available with current technology to produce our flags.
Typically, flags may last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, though some have lasted up to 2 years. However, under severe weather conditions or if the flag becomes damaged by contact with structures, its life may be shortened to less than 3 months. For a flag to last, it must fly freely and be properly secured with flag clips to prevent entanglement.
For a longer lifespan, remove your flag in the evening and during inclement weather.
