About Air Filter Efficiency Ratings

Compare MERV rating, efficiency, and particle size to find the right filter for your location—from warehouses and offices to hospitals and labs.

Long-Life Box Air Filters

Four Panels

Six Panels

Eight Panels

Multiple panels maximize filtering surface area for long service life. These MERV 14 air filters capture particles down to 0.3 microns. They have a V-shape design and a rigid frame that withstands fluctuations in airflow, such as those created by variable air volume systems. The more filter panels they have, the more filtering surface they have for a longer service life.

Actual size is up to 5/8" less than trade size.

HEPA Long-Life Box Air Filters

Aluminum Frame

Steel Frame

Extend the time between filter changes in laboratories, hospitals, and other places with a high risk of airborne contaminants. These filters have tight pleats, which increase the surface area for catching particles. They’re a HEPA filter, so they capture small particles, such as allergens and germs, more efficiently than standard air filters.

Filters with an aluminum frame have a V-shape design that increases the filtering area and reduces resistance to air, leading to an even longer life than filters with a standard design.
