    Ultra-Efficiency Pleated Panel Air Filters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Air Filters. Ultra-Efficiency Pleated Panel Air Filters.
    Capture more viruses and finer allergens than high-efficiency filters—these ultra-efficiency filters can even remove contaminants from wildfire smoke and pollution. They have pleats that create a large surface area for filtering without reducing airflow. The cardboard frame is treated to resist humidity, and the galvanized steel grill prevents sagging.
    While these ultra-efficiency filters may make your HVAC system work harder than lower efficiency filters, they’re still easier on your equipment than HEPA filters.

    Easy-Install Electrostatic Reusable Panel Air Filters

    Magnetic strips on the back of the frame make these filters easy to install and remove. Because you don’t need to disassemble equipment to remove them, they are often used as prefilters on steel air intake louvers, metal cabinets, and metal grid systems. Made of polypropylene, an inherent electrostatic charge attracts dust and particles to these filters. They can be washed and reused.
