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.

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.

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. 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.

What happens if it gets a hole?

If it is a constant air flow product like X and Xpress then holes are basically irrelevant. If a repair is required in a Nexus or one another product that is meant to hold air 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.

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.

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 function 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.

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.

Benefits of Using AIRWALL® for Dust Control

Every construction project comes with known factors like, delays, cost overruns, change orders and mess, specifically dust and debris. Look at it, Dust and Debris, two words that go together like Peas and Carrots or Jack and Diane who are, after all, just doing the best that they can, just like contractors. Only so much is in your control, but the mess… that you can control, if you know how and if you have the right tools. Getting the contract isn’t about price, it is about trust. Earn their trust by removing as many of the barriers as possible by adding construction barriers that block the dust, the sound and the general ugly of the process, and stop the race to the bottom.
