The rigid frame on these filters withstands fluctuations in airflow, such as those created by variable air volume systems.
MERV 11 filters capture common allergens, such as dander, mold spore, and pollen, so they are often used in data centers and other locations that require extra-clean air. They strike a good balance between filtration efficiency and airflow.
MERV 14 filters provide a higher level of filtration than MERV 11 filters and are more effective at capturing finer allergens and viruses for an enhanced level of protection. These filters are often used in environments to protect against airborne contaminants from wildfire smoke and in regions with high pollution levels.
Filters meet UL 900 flame retardance requirements. Actual size is up to 5/8" less than trade size.
