How to take care of your Ensign
Woven / Spun Polyester: Typically 155gsm. Often referred to as MOD grade, this is the most durable material for making flags. Its strength-to-weight ratio is not surpassed by any other fabric. It is very important to ensure that the flag can fly free without striking or coming into constant contact with any obstructions such as a wall, a tree or foliage or the surface of a pole that is
rough. It is also important to consider whether the flag will constantly be exposed to harsh or extreme weather conditions such as high winds, heavy rain or heavily polluted urban environments. Flying an excessively large flag in bad weather will dramatically reduce life expectancy. How long a flag will last is an impossible question to answer as it depends upon many factors.
It is not recommended to fly your flag continuously as this will reduce the life expectancy. Typically a flag flown continuously 24/7 may only last approximately 3 months. Left out indefinitely, a flag will eventually succumb to the elements Hand-washed or gently machine-washed at 30 degrees using a mild detergent. If unsure, consult your
flagmaker. Once a flag has become too dirty, it will be difficult to clean. Never fly in inclement weather and strong winds. Flags should always be thoroughly dry before folding and storage. Flags should be taken down at night and in inclement weather. Your flag will endure much longer if it is cared for properly.
To get more life out of your flag you can always re-hem the outer fly edge when it eventually becomes worn, simply cut away the frayed edge and hem with a suitable sewing machine or return it to us. We can repair flags for a small cost which have not become too frayed or damaged.
