The Wind Problem Malta Broadcasters Know Too Well

The Gregale hits Valletta harbour at Beaufort 5. Your foam windscreen lets low-frequency rumble straight onto the recording. Post-production can’t fix it. The interview is lost.

What Fails

  • Foam windscreens above Beaufort 3
  • Unbranded foam peeling on live TV
  • No local stock – weeks of waiting
  • Customs surprises on non-EU orders

What Works

  • Fur windscreens (deadcat) rated to Beaufort 6
  • Blimp/zeppelin systems for open coastal work
  • Branded flock-coated foam – logo lasts 200+ takes
  • EU warehouse → Malta in 3-7 business days, no customs

FAQ

Do you ship directly to Malta?

Yes. Orders ship from our EU warehouse via DHL/UPS. 3-7 business days. No local distributor needed.

Is fur really necessary for Malta outdoor work?

Foam fails at Beaufort 3-4. Coastal Malta regularly exceeds that. Fur is the minimum reliable option, not an upgrade.

Can Maltese VAT-registered businesses order VAT-free?

Yes. Provide your EU VAT number at quote stage for standard intra-EU supply treatment.

What artwork format for custom logos?

Vector only (AI, EPS, SVG). Pantone reference required. Proof sent before production.

Typical timeline for branded foam order?

2-3 weeks production + 3-7 days shipping. Plan 4 weeks from artwork approval to delivery.

What if I need both branded foam and fur systems?

Combined quote, single shipment when custom production completes. One invoice, one tracking number.
