Frequently Asked Questions
What size flag should I order?
This flag is available in 60×90 cm (approx. 2×3 ft) and 90×150 cm (approx. 3×5 ft). The 90×150 cm (3×5 ft) size is the standard outdoor display size — it's what you typically see on a 5–6 ft residential flagpole and large enough to read clearly from the street. The 60×90 cm (2×3 ft) size works well on a shorter 4 ft pole, mounted on a wall bracket, or for indoor display on a desk stand. If you're flying it outdoors next to other flags, match sizes — a 3×5 ft next to a 4×6 ft looks mismatched.
Can I fly this flag outdoors? How long will it last?
This flag is made from 100% polyester, which handles light outdoor display well. It's fine for weekends, events, and occasional flying. For continuous 24/7 outdoor display, expect the colors to start fading after 3–5 months of direct daily sun — polyester has less UV resistance than nylon. If you plan to fly it year-round outdoors, take it inside on windy or stormy days. The fabric is fade-resistant, which slows but does not stop UV degradation over time.
How do I hang or display this flag?
This flag has two brass grommets on the left (header) side — one near the top corner and one near the bottom corner. Standard flagpole clips attach directly to these. For a wall mount, use two screw hooks spaced to match the grommet distance. The grommets are reinforced with a canvas header strip so they won't pull through with normal use. If attaching with rope, use a bowline knot — it holds tension without slipping and doesn't damage the grommet.
Are the colors accurate? Is this single-sided or double-sided?
The flag is printed using dye-sublimation, which bonds the ink directly into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it. This is a single-sided flag — the design is printed on the front, and the reverse shows a mirror image that is slightly faded. This is standard for most display flags at this price point. If you need a fully opaque double-sided flag (for wall mounting where the back is visible), that option is available separately.
How do I wash and store this flag?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent — avoid bleach, which degrades the polyester fibers and strips the color. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. High heat causes polyester to pill and shrink slightly. Do not wring — lay flat or hang to dry. If storing for a season, fold loosely rather than stuffing tightly, which causes permanent crease lines in the fabric.
What does the Belgium flag symbolize?
The colors come from the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brabant. The flag's design is standardized under the country's official flag code, which means the colors, proportions, and symbols are fixed — our flag is printed to match those official specifications.
How should I display the Belgium flag correctly?
Belgium is unique in having a flag with proportions of 13:15, nearly square. It is displayed with black on the hoist side. The flag flies on all public buildings on National Day (July 21). Desecration is prohibited under Belgian law.
