Fiberglass Air Filters

Fiberglass air filters are disposable replacement filters for light- to medium-duty commercial and industrial air-handling applications. They help capture airborne particles as air moves through compatible filter openings and housings, supporting routine air-quality maintenance and filter replacement.

Use Cases

Routine light- to medium-duty filtration

These filters are intended for commercial and industrial air-handling applications, including routine replacement needs in compatible filter locations, openings, housings, and equipment.

How to Choose

Match size, depth, and media

Confirm the required length, width, and depth first. Then select fiberglass for progressively dense glass-fiber media or polyester where synthetic polyester media is specified.

Applications

Compatible air-handling systems

The listed filters support air filtration as air moves through compatible equipment. Available examples include 1-inch and 2-inch-deep filters in multiple length and width combinations.

Additional Info

Frame and seal details matter

One-piece frames support installation and strength. Interlocking or mitered corners add durability, while sealed media-to-frame bonds help limit air bypass and add rigidity.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with fit

Verify the filter dimensions your equipment accepts

The available filters represent multiple nominal sizes, including 14 x 30 x 1, 10 x 24 x 1, 18 x 36 x 1, 16 x 20 x 2, 20 x 20 x 2, and 12 x 24 x 2 inches. Choosing the size and depth used by the compatible filter location is the essential first step.

  • Compare length, width, and depth with the existing filter location.
  • Choose from listed 1-inch and 2-inch filter depths.
  • Use filters only in compatible air-handling equipment or housings.
Compare media options

Select fiberglass or polyester based on the specified media

Fiberglass models use progressively dense glass fibers, described as open or coarse fibers on one side and tighter fibers through the media depth. This construction supports depth loading and fuller use of the media. Polyester models provide a synthetic-media option for applications that specify polyester filtration media.

  • Fiberglass media is offered for disposable light- to medium-duty filtration.
  • Progressive-density fiberglass media supports use across the filter depth.
  • Polyester media is a synthetic option for specified applications.
Review construction features

Look for a stable frame and a media seal

The represented filters use one-piece frames, with several described as moisture-resistant craft board. Interlocking mitered corners add frame durability. Sealed media-to-frame bonds, including thermoplastic seals and dual-side seals, help prevent or limit air bypass while adding rigidity.

  • One-piece frames support straightforward installation and handling.
  • Interlocking corners reinforce the frame structure.
  • Media-to-frame seals help direct air through the media rather than around it.
FAQ

Common questions before buying

What applications are these filters designed for?

They are designed for light- to medium-duty commercial and industrial air-handling applications in compatible equipment.

What media types are represented in this category?

The represented products include progressive-density fiberglass media and synthetic polyester media.

How do fiberglass and polyester options differ?

Fiberglass options use progressively dense glass fibers, while polyester options provide synthetic media for applications that specify polyester filtration media.

Why is a sealed media-to-frame bond useful?

It helps limit or prevent air bypass around the media and adds rigidity to the filter.
