FLAGPOLE READY FLAGS
Our sewn and printed flags are ready to fly from your flagpole. They are manufactured from woven polyester to exacting Ministry of Defence standards and ISO 9000. British Flags are supplied to the accepted standard of 2:1 ratio. The size of the flag is measured by its length in yards.
For flag sizing the normal rule is 1 yard for every 10 feet (0.9m for every 3.0m) of flagpole height, therefore a freestanding 20 foot flagpole would require a 2 yard flag, 30 foot flagpole, a 3 yard flag. From a building, size is proportional, so it is recommended to size at 1 square foot (0.3 sq.m to 0.3m) to 1 foot of linear height.therefore a 40 foot building plus 20 foot flagpole on top would require a 4 yard flag.

FLAG CARE
Just how long a flag lasts is an impossible question to answer, however, a flags life can be extended by following a few simple rules:
Do not fly a flag at night: Flag flying protocol accepts the practice of lowering the flag at night, by taking the flag down at night the flags lifespan can be increased.
Do not fly your flag in gale or storm conditions: In severe weather conditions the flag should be brought down.
Allow your flag to to dry before folding: To prevent mildew.
Wash your flag: Wash your flag on a regular basis once every 14 days, in heavily polluted area's, once every 7 days.
Recommended washing instructions: Polyester flags require a warm wash at 40 degrees C, using a propriety brand of washing powder. Washing cannot be emphasised too strongly, dirt and acids carried in the atmosphere can destroy the material. If these are not washed off, degradation can rapidly take place and the lifespan drasticaaly reduced. If flags are left too long between cleaning the task can be impossible |
