FAQS
 

What makes your Flags Special? 0 0 FineArtBanners are designed by Professional Artists and machine stitched using applique techniques.The flags dance in the slightest breeze and react to changing light in a similar way to stained glass.They are made from a durable, lightweight, translucent fabric supplied by a leading manufacturer in the flag making industry. The materials are tested to the highest possible standards satisfying several BS/ISO Standards relating to colour fastness, washing and tear strength.

Do the Flags Make a Noise?0000000000 The lightweight material has an open weave allowing air to pass through minimising resistence negating the flapping noise heard with flags made from silk or ripstop nylon.

Do you make Site Visits?000000000000 Yes. For all our services we can visit you to discuss your venue/ideas although we will have to charge a fee for this.

Can I hire a mixture? Yes. Festival Flags can be hired for private functions but Blades are not suited for large festivals.

What Happens during a Workshop?? o0000000000 Workshops usually follow consultations and a site visit to advise on location, scale etc. Workshops are undertaken at least a month before the date the flags are required. We work with groups of adults or children to take initial ideas through to finished designs. These are taken back to our studio,material is ordered and we undertake the making which involves scaling up,cutting & pinning and finally stitching. The completed flags are sent to you in time for your event.

Who owns the designs? 00 We retain copyright on all flags we design unless otherwise agreed.Copyright of workshop flags remains wih the organisers.

Can we install the Flags Ourselves?00000000000000 Yes! If you are on a limited budget this defintely saves you money.However, as our Festival Flags involve heavy scaffold poles inserted into the ground this work must be done by suitably experienced staff with safety checks undertaken relating to overhead and underground hazards. We can supply you with all the other equipment you will need.

Our Blades are very user friendly; they are displayed on telescopic poles using ground stakes inserted into turf. They can also be attached to suitable post/fencing.0000000000000 0 The Pary Flags can be displayed in a variety of ways for example,suspended from rope threaded through the top seams. All orders come with fully illustrated instructions.
