If you’ve ever wondered what exactly makes up an indoor flag set, you’re not alone. Indoor flag sets are commonly used in places like boardrooms, meeting halls, courtrooms, government offices, and other professional settings. These flag sets are designed for indoor use, which means they don’t have to endure the harsh outdoor elements. Once purchased, an indoor flag set is typically a long-term investment that doesn’t need replacing frequently. Let’s dive into what you need to know about indoor flag sets.
Flag
The centerpiece of any indoor flag set is, of course, the flag itself. The most popular flag for these sets is the American flag, which usually comes with a pole sleeve and gold fringe for a polished, formal appearance. The pole sleeve is open at both ends to allow a spot for the top ornament on the flagpole to attach.There is a leather tab inside the pole sleeve to secure the flag to the pole. While the American flag is the most common, other flags, such as state flags, military flags, or even custom flags, are also available.
Ornament
At the top of the flagpole, you’ll find the ornament, a decorative piece that secures to the flagpole. The ornament for the American flag is the eagle, though this is not used for other flags. For state or custom flags, we prefer a round spear, but there are other options as well. A passion cross for the Christian flag or a Star of David for the Israeli flag. If you’re looking for something a little different, the Texas Star topper is a popular choice for Texas flags, though it can be used with any flag set. For Canadian flags, the maple leaf ornament is a distinctive option that adds a touch of national pride.
Tassel
The tassel is an optional addition to your indoor flag set, but it certainly enhances the overall look. Think of the cord and tassel worn by graduates, this is a similar decorative element. Most tassels come in gold, but silver is also an available option. While not essential, a tassel adds an extra touch of class and formality to the flag display.
Flagpole
For most indoor flag displays, we recommend the adjustable aluminum pole. It’s versatile, easy to set up, and can extend from 6’ to 10’ to suit your space and preferences. This type of pole works well in most indoor settings where it won’t be moved around frequently. However, if you plan on using the flagpole for honor guard purposes or outside, we advise opting for a more durable, non-adjustable pole made from oak or heavy-duty aluminum. These poles are available in 7’ and 8’ lengths and offer greater stability for active use.
Floor Base
A sturdy floor base is essential to keep your flagpole stable. Our top recommendation is the Endura floor stand, made from weighted aluminum for superior balance and security. This base comes in both gold and silver finishes to match your flag set. There are also non-weighted bases available that can be filled with sand for added stability, and they come in both gold and silver as well.
Flag Spreader
While not included with every indoor flag set, a flag spreader can be a great addition. This accessory ensures that your flag displays the full design rather than resting flat against the pole. It’s a simple yet effective way to enhance the visual appeal of your flag set.
