Rigid Air Filters

What are rigid filters and what are they used for?

Rigid air filters are a type of air filtration system designed to remove airborne particles and contaminants from the air. Unlike traditional fiberglass filters, rigid filters are made of a more durable, high-density material that can effectively trap a wider range of pollutants.

Rigid air filters are best suited for applications where high-efficiency air filtration is required, such as in commercial and industrial settings, hospitals, and other facilities with strict air quality standards. These filters are capable of capturing small particles, including dust, pollen, mold spores, and even some bacteria and viruses, making them an excellent choice for improving indoor air quality.

One of the key advantages of our rigid air filters is their long lifespan. Our filters are designed to last much longer than their fiberglass counterparts, often up to several years with proper maintenance. This can result in cost savings over time, as the need for filter replacements is reduced.

Additionally, the rigid air filters we carry at Filter Connection are known for their superior airflow performance. They are engineered to minimize resistance to airflow, which can help improve the efficiency of HVAC systems and reduce energy consumption.

Overall, rigid air filters are a reliable and high-performing solution for maintaining clean, healthy indoor air in a variety of commercial and industrial settings.

MERV

Rating

MERV, an acronym for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, denotes the effectiveness of a filter in capturing airborne particles such as mold spores, pet dander, bacteria, pollen, and dust mites. For residential applications, a MERV rating in the range of 1-16 is typically recommended, while a rating of 17-20 is advised for specialized medical and commercial settings.

Recommended Replacement

Keeping your air filters fresh is key to enjoying great air quality! It's important to replace the filters in your home or business ventilation system and furnace when needed, as clogged filters can start to cause airflow issues. When air filters get dirty, they trap dust and debris, making it harder for the air to flow smoothly. This means your system has to work a bit harder, which can lead to higher energy bills. By keeping your air filters clean, you can expect efficient airflow and a more comfortable environment!
