Calculating The Number of Ceiling Balloons Required

For single helium balloons there is an easy formula to calculate how many balloons you should order. Simply multiply the length of the room by the width of the room and multiply by 10, 7 or 5.

How Long Do Helium Balloons Last? For latex, smaller 9-12” helium balloons will generally last from 8 to 12 hours (2-4x longer with hi-float), while the larger ones can last up to 2-3 days. Foil balloons typically last from 3 to 5 days, up to a few weeks.

Another trick is to partially fill with air and then top up with helium which greatly reduces the amount of helium required to around 5 cubic ft, however this will also reduce the balloons float time and reduce the weight that the balloon can hold should you wish to tie a tassel etc from it.

Is 100 balloons enough for a balloon arch? For a standard 10-foot arch, 100 balloons typically provide adequate coverage. However, if you envision a denser or more detailed design, you'll need to increase that number. It's a good practice to always have some extra balloons on hand for any unexpected needs.

One of the easiest and most cost-effective methods of attaching balloons to the ceiling is using double-sided tape. Simply peel off one side of the tape and stick it on the ceiling in the desired spot. Then, take a piece of string and tie it around a few balloons at once so that they form a bouquet.

Instead of filling the balloon with helium, you need to fill it with hot air. You can do this by using a hairdryer, holding the end of the balloon close to the hairdryer and letting the hot air fill it up. Once it is full of hot air, tie off the end of the balloon and watch it float!

Helium doesn't expire as long as the valve is tightly closed.

Please don't leave balloons in a hot car - helium expands in the heat and this could cause your balloons to pop! We recommend that you use air conditioning in your vehicle when transporting balloons on a hot day. If balloons get rained on and start to droop, don't worry – they'll float again when dry.

Helium gas expands in hot weather and contracts in cold weather. So, if you leave your helium-filled balloons in a hot car or under the hot sun, the helium will expand, and the balloon may pop. On the other hand, cold temperatures can cause the helium to contract, making balloons in a cold room shrink and droop.

Does Dollar Tree fill helium balloons? ›

How can I get them filled with helium? Please bring your receipt showing that you purchased foil balloons from Dollar Tree and a store associate will be happy to fill them up for you.

Argon can be used instead of Helium and is favoured for some metals. Helium is used for many lighter-than-air applications, and Hydrogen is a possible substitute for many where the flammability of Hydrogen is not a concern.

What are helium balloons used for? Helium balloons are used in advertising, event, promotion, birthday parties, functions, exhibitions, etc. How much do helium balloons cost? Depending on the material, size, application, brand, etc., the price of helium balloons ranges from Rs 5 to Rs 5k per piece.

If you purchase your balloons from another store, your local Party City can fill those with helium, too. Helium prices can vary depending on your location, so it's a good idea to call ahead.

To fill balloons with helium, you can use a Balloon Time helium tank or go to your local Party City store to have balloons inflated. Save time by ordering balloons online and picking up inflated balloons in-store.

Dollar General does not charge a specific fee to blow up balloons, as the service is not offered at their stores. If you need balloons for a party or other event, you will need to purchase them and fill them yourself.
