Do AIRWALLS work in doorways?

Yes. The AIRWALL X is a constant air supply barrier designed specifically for doorways 28" to 36" wide. It uses the discharge of an air mover or NAM to first fill itself and the door opening. Once the air has done that job it can now be redistributed, acting as a drying manifold. The air can also be exhausted out of the room to establish negative pressure or it can simply hold the air for a quick static barrier. Beyond the X we also have the UDC that can be paired, as always, with the Decon Chamber.

What do I need to get started?

It depends on what services you provide. For mold remediation the Construction Barrier Starter Kit would be for you. If you are working in a hospital or medical space then you should start with the "HAI Control Kit". We have many other kits on our shopping page. We recommend that if you are new to AIRWALL that you start there.

Do I need to use tape or poles with this product?

No. Tape is compatible with our product should the user need to integrate plastic into the containment for a hybrid set up, and poles can sometimes be used to assist in set up or to support a UDC as a stand alone unit. Generally speaking though, tape and poles are completely unnecessary.

Is AIRWALL compatible with vaulted/irregular ceilings?

No. This would be a situation when plastic only or a hybrid use of AIRWALLs and plastic could come into play.

Do AIRWALLS hold negative pressure?

Yes, AIRWALLs outperform plastic containment by 200-400% and yes, they do this without any physical attachment to the building. They rely on air pressure, compression and friction to maintain that high level of performance.

Is there a line item in Xactimate or how do I get paid?

We do not currently have a line item in Xactimate but we will with time and increased adoption in the industry. This is, in fact, a unique time for the early adopters out there because they will have the rare opportunity to help dictate what the compensation will be for this type of containment. The people at Xactimate check with current users to determine what the per diem rate of return might be. By using the F9 function to explain your substitution you will compensated for containment as you normally would.

What if the ceiling is more than 8 feet high?

All NEXUS and the dust curtain are designed to be used in rooms with ceilings up to 10 feet high. A user only needs to attach 1 or 2 12 inch extensions depending on the need.

Can I connect multiple units together?

Absolutely yes! The high quality zippers, rings, hooks and snaps are designed to be compatible with each other now and many years from now. A user can connect multiple Xpresses, end to end, top to bottom or even bottom to bottom. The NEXUS is daisy chainable with the same zippers that allow a user to connect the edge seals or integrate a dust curtain for ingress and egress. So you can create 100 feet of barrier, a cube, a tube or any shape that suits the environment with or without one or more points of entry.

What happens if it gets a hole?

If it is a constant air flow product like X and Xpress then holes are basically irrelevant. In fact the constant air flow products have large holes designed into them so that they can be used like a manifold. If a repair is required in a Nexus or one another product that is meant to hold air or is not inflatable at all then the user simply cuts an appropriately sized, glueless, instant set patch and places it on the smooth side of the hole, cut or tear.

What happens if an air bladder in the NEXUS fails?

Damaged bladders are actually quite rare but very simple to repair/replace and can be done while the containment is in place so that there is no down time or breach of containment. The user cuts an appropriate size glueless, instant set patch and places it over the damaged area or replaces the bladder with a new or undamaged unit and installs the functional bladder per instructions.

We used the best materials we could find knowing full well that the crews that handle these tools will handle them roughly. The zippers are oversized, the fabric is even UV resistent and every one of our products that comes into contact with the floors of the built environment is equiped with a durable bonded vinyl foot for long life. The parts that come into contact with the walls and ceilings are replaceable if they happen to wear out and everything is machine washable. As a company focused on having a positive impact on the environment we deliberately did not build them with obsolescence in mind, quite the opposite, durability and reverse compatibility are inherent in all of our designs.

How are the AIRWALLS inflated and how do they stay that way?

Many of our products use the air from your air movers and HEPA machines to stay inflated and fucntion as designed. In regards to the NEXUS however, the answer is a high volume air pump, or even a wed/dry vacuum will do the trick. The NEXUS is meant to stay inflated indeffinitely. The dust curtain and dedon chamber rely on the steady support of the NEXUS' (or poles in certain applications) and an internal frame respectively, so they also operate independently of a constant air supply which means that they are immune to power failures and can perform reliably for as long as needed.

AIRWALLS are made from a polyester fabric with a polyurethane coating. This combination is easily vacuumed, wet wiped, machine washed and/or disinfected with common antimicrobial solutions.

Superior Containment Technology

AIRWALL® systems use advanced containment barriers that trap and isolate dust at the source. The ease of AIRWALL® systems means that establishing negative air is now so easy and cheap that even when you’re not cleaning mold, asbestos or lead you can ensure that ZERO dust will leave that space. Truly next level job performance!

Customizable Configurations

Each AIRWALL® system can be tailored to fit the specific spatial and functional requirements of nearly any site, ensuring optimal dust control regardless of the workspace size or complexity. This adaptability makes AIRWALL® ideal for a range of applications, from small-scale residential jobs to large loss job sites.

High-Efficiency Filtration

Paired with HEPA filters, AIRWALL® systems provide the filtration required to address regulated and unregulated mitigation efforts. This level of filtration is not just critical for mold, lead and asbestos but also for industries where air purity is critical, such as pharmaceuticals, electronics manufacturing, and food processing.
