    Create a sealed barrier in doorways and openings to contain dust and debris at your worksite. These temporary doors install in minutes and can be taken down just as fast for reuse elsewhere.
    Zipper Closure—Zipper-closure doors create an airtight seal. To walk through these doors freely, roll them up and hang them on the included flap hooks.
    Magnet Closure—Magnet-closure doors are made of polyester, which is more durable than plastic. For hands-free entry, they’re secured by magnets sewn into the fabric that easily separate as you walk through them. Once you've passed through, they automatically snap shut. A plastic window allows you to see into the room on the other side of the door.
    ASTM E84 25/450 for Flame and Smoke—These doors meet ASTM E84 25/450, so they help prevent the spread of flames and smoke.
    Replacement Double-Sided Tape—Use the included double-sided tape to secure them—it’s strong enough to hold up the door while still gentle on paint and finishes.

    Highly Moisture-Resistant HDPE Film

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Highly Moisture-Resistant HDPE Film.
    The high-density construction translates into a durable film that’s more chemical and water resistant than LDPE film. This woven film is also tear and puncture resistant, so it’s often used for tarps and machine covers.
