How Long Will an
Outdoor Flag Last?
Experience has shown that this
is an impossible question to answer accurately.No two flags receive identical wear...because weather conditions
vary.
How many days will the wind be
over 20 mph?How many days will the sun
shine with no cloud cover?How many
days will the temperature be over 100 degrees?How many ice storms will we have? Neither you nor we can control the
weather, but by taking care of your flag, you can lengthen its life.
Your flag works hard.It flaps…it flutters…it whips…it snaps…it
beats…it chafes…it bakes…it freezes…it furls…it unfurls…it hangs!
The major enemies of a flag
are wind, water, sun, ice and carelessness…the single greatest cause of flag
deterioration.Flags are made of cloth,
either natural or man-made, and dirt and pollutants break down the fabric and
the color of the flag. Flags International®better quality US Flags
are treated with SolarMax to inhibit the effects of the sun and weather, but
nothing is permanent.
Have your flag repaired at the
first sign of fraying; don’t wait for it to be blown to shreds.
Our flags are manufactured to
provide maximum service in return for reasonable care and prudent use.
