Toronto
has an average wind speed of 14.7 km/h under normal conditions, which usually
peak from January to April. Such wind speeds may not be strong enough to tear
shingles off roofing decks, but it can be a hassle for flimsy vinyl banners.
Strong winds can flip the banners and turn them into long rolls, which are
difficult to unroll or untangle. To combat this problem, some people cut slits
into the banners to help the wind blow through. However, banner makers don't
recommend this method for a number of reasons.
Cutting
slits may cause large tears to form on vinyl banners, which will jeopardize the
integrity and appearance of these banners. A vinyl banner
that appears to have been shredded or manhandled will distort the message its
trying to send to its viewers, and its disheveled appearance will reflect badly
on the company, person, or organization being promoted. Fortunately, there is
an alternative to cutting slits: many banner makers employ advanced techniques,
like the use of mesh material, to reduce wind load.
In
some countries, water bottles are tied to the bottom ends of vinyl banners to
act as a downward force against strong winds. If you don't like the idea of
seeing water bottles, banner makers may offer heavyweight materials, such as
18-ounce vinyl or poly cotton. The next time you want to consider cutting
slits, put that cutter down and consider other options.
