When you are interested\u00a0in a giant inflatable for an event,\u00a0TMP understands that you will have then some questions. We are\u00a0the experts! Below you will find a list of the most commonly asked questions:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”3.12.2″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is the maximum wind speed that an inflatable can handle? ” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ open=”on”]<\/p>\n This very much depends on the shape of the inflatable. Some can handle force 7 while others (the tallest ones) need to come down at force 4. We can provide you with further advice if you need it.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do I need a permit to install an inflatable? ” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n Most of the time it is not required, however, it is best to check with the local municipality as rules are different for every region.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is a blower noisy? ” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n TMP uses blowers that are low in dBA so that noise is hardly ever\u00a0an issue, however, for the really big inflatables we need to employ a big blower and\u00a0the dBA will be higher. If noise is an issue for you please contact one of our staff for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When there is a rip in the inflatable does it need to go back to TMP? ” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n Small rips can be repaired by the clients themselves, as every inflatable comes with a repair kit. For bigger rips, we can help arrange for\u00a0repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When I provide a Pantone colour(s), will it be 100% correct on the inflatable?” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n Colour are always an approximation, a deviation\u00a0of 10% is possible and acceptable. As inflatables are always viewed from a distance it is hardly ever an issue. If you\u00a0want\u00a0to ensure\u00a0exact colour match you can request for a proof colour sample.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do the colours fade when the inflatable is exposed to the sun for any length of time? ” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n Due to\u00a0UV protection\u00a0 [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How is the artwork applied to the inflatable?” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n Most of the artwork is applied through digital printing and\u00a0sometimes the artwork is air-brushed on. This really depends on the shape of the inflatable.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is the power consumption of an inflatable?” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n In [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How do I fix an inflatable so that it does not blow away? ” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n When your inflatable is placed on grass, you can secure it with stakes. If you\u00a0are going to place\u00a0it on asphalt, it can be held down with sand bags, concrete blocks or other heavy items. Items such as benches, gates trees etc., are good typically not suggested\u00a0anchor points.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”The inflatable is not inflating properly; it is not properly erecting and topples a little.” _builder_version=”3.12.2″]<\/p>\n It is most likely that there is a zipper open somewhere;\u00a0check all zippers or velcro pockets. Also, check to ensure there are no obstructions in front of the blower including the fabric of the inflatable.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”The inflatable looks very rounded and out of shape when we inflate it. ” _builder_version=”3.12.2″]<\/p>\n Probably a secondary zipper is not closed completely, so that air is pumped in between the first and second layer of the inflatable. Ensure the secondary zipper is properly closed.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Are inflatables suitable for in-store deployment? ” _builder_version=”3.12.2″]<\/p>\n Most definitely, inflatables are very useful for PoS\/PoP. When using low sound blowers, the noise levels are negligible.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Where is the blower of an inflatable positioned?” _builder_version=”3.12.2″]<\/p>\n Usually on the side of the inflatable. You can access the blower by opening the zipper.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is the life span of an inflatable? ” _builder_version=”3.12.2″]<\/p>\n When a giant inflatable is well cared for and properly stored, it can last for 5-7 years.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can an inflatable have any shape? ” _builder_version=”3.12.2″]<\/p>\n Nearly every shape is possible; of course you can ask staff members for advice. In case it is not possible to recreate the shape, the staff can help to realize an alternate inflatable solution.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0Frequently Asked Questions When you are interested\u00a0in a giant inflatable for an event,\u00a0TMP understands that you will have then some questions.
