Frequently Asked Questions

What is 18.5 oz inflatable bounce house vinyl used for?

This 18.5 oz PVC coated vinyl is the standard commercial weight for inflatable bounce houses, inflatable slides, obstacle courses, and interactive inflatable games. It is also used for gym wall pads, floor and gym mat covers, wrestling and tumbling mats, impact pits, and other athletic padding.

Can I use this vinyl to repair or patch an existing bounce house?

Yes. Most commercial bounce houses are built from 18 oz class PVC vinyl, so this material is suitable for patches, replacement panels, and seam repairs. Order by the yard for small repairs or by the roll for rebuilding large sections.

Is this bounce house vinyl suitable for gym mats and athletic padding?

Yes. The smooth matte finish, soft hand, and anti-microbial treatment make it well suited for gym wall padding, mat covers, wrestling and tumbling mats, and pole vault or high jump pit covers. It is latex-free and rubber-free.

Is this inflatable vinyl material flame retardant?

No. This grade is not flame retardant. If your venue, state, or insurer requires certified flame retardant material, choose a flame retardant 18 oz vinyl instead.

Is this material latex-free?

Yes. This PVC coated vinyl is latex-free and rubber-free, which makes it a good choice for padding and inflatables used in schools, daycares, gyms, and healthcare facilities.

What are the key specs of this fabric?

Key specs include 18.5 oz per square yard weight, 61-inch width, grab tensile strength of 157 x 185 lbs, tongue tear strength of 132 x 91 lbs, and a cold crack rating of -30 degrees F. It has a smooth matte finish with UV and anti-mildew treatments.

Is this vinyl UV resistant and mildew resistant?

Yes. It has high-performance UV additives for color retention outdoors, and it is treated to resist mold, mildew, and bacteria.

Can this material be used for inflatable boats, rafts, or paddle boards?

No. This vinyl is made for constant-airflow inflatables such as bounce houses and for padding. Inflatable boats, rafts, kayaks, and paddle boards require boat-grade PVC, Hypalon (CSM), or drop-stitch fabric designed to hold pressurized air.

How should I join or seal seams on inflatable bounce house vinyl?

Commercial bounce houses run on a continuous blower, so seams are usually welded or sewn with UV-rated bonded polyester thread. For glued patches, use HH-66 vinyl cement. Hot air or RF welding produces the strongest seams where equipment is available. Always test on a sample first.

Will my order ship as one continuous piece?

Yes. Fabric is shipped in continuous yardage up to the available roll length, not as separate 1-yard pieces. Orders of 4 yards or less ship folded; 5 or more yards ship on a roll.
