Restoration Construction
As restoration adjacent industries, construction and HVAC, are an easy fit for the AIRWALL system of containment barriers. Wherever exposure to toxic things like paint fumes or chemical agents, or merely nuisance contaminants such as drywall dust, dust from sanding floors,etc. is a risk, then an effective barrier is a must. When excellence and perfect containment is required, then the use of differential air pressure is a must and AIRWALL is hands down, the best and most comprehensive solution going.
HVAC
HVAC professionals face unique challenges when managing indoor air quality and maintaining system efficiency during installation, maintenance, or repair work. AirWall® systems offer a state-of-the-art solution designed to meet these needs by effectively controlling environments and improving work space safety.

Full Workspace Containment
There are three types of containment, source, local and full.
There are three types of containment, source, local and full. Source is pretty easy and generally well suited to the current methods and materials but, local and full containment are much more difficult and have never been so easy as they are with AIRWALLS. We offer products that can create ultra high performance containment without the use of tape, poles, structural framework, staples, adhesives, etc. Using air pressure from either a constant source like an air mover or NAM, or by inflating low pressure air bladders housed inside a durable outer shell, AIRWALLS use basic physics to make set up fast and reliable.
AIRWALLS make it possible to set up negative, positive or neutral air pressure containment, with or without a doffing chamber, under, over or inside a building. AIRWALLS can provide rapid local or full containment in doorways and in any room with 8-10 foot ceilings, even t-bar drop ceilings without damaging or displacing the tiles.
In less than a ¼ of the time, with no consumables/disposables, no ongoing repairs and no collateral damage to the structure or finishes we estimate that AIRWALLS pay for themselves within 3-5 uses. Combined with a unique branding opportunity, sound abatement and an impressive physical presence, the AIRWALL line up will move your containments from the cost side onto the profit side of the ledger. Stop being reimbursed for containment and start getting paid for it!
Windows Large, Medium, Small and Security
Small windows and security are where one would use the newest Xhaust in our lineup, the Mini. It works in even the smallest of windows and, perhaps more importantly, it works when the house needs to be boarded up. Do everything you normally would in a board up scenario but right before you attempt to connect your ducting to the plywood, instead attach the mini to your ducting and push the Xhaust through the same opening in the plywood and viola, negative air. Like its larger siblings the mini has a critter guard and cordage loops for added stability and to a degree more security too, more than with plastic anyway.
Small Medium windows are where one would use the Xhaust 1 to vent air from the building to create negative air. The Xhaust 1 is ideal for windows 24″/60cm and smaller. It has one air intake port, one exhaust port with a critter guard, two inflatable edge seals to guarantee the best seal in most environments and it has zippers that allow it to be attached to other Xhaust units both 1’s and 2’s.
The Xhaust 21 also has cordage loops in the corners for added stability webbing loops that, when paired with a support rod or Zip poles, can assist in supporting the unit when it is un-inflated or installed during strong or gusty winds.
Large Windows are where one would use the Xhaust 2 to vent air from the building to create negative air. The Xhaust 2 is ideal for windows 24″/60cm to 48″/120cm. It has two air intakes just in case it is necessary to move a large volume of air out of the building but one of them can be capped off when that isn’t needed. The outside of the Xhaust 2 has two exhaust ports, each with critter guards and one can be capped off for lower air volume requirements.
The Xhaust 2 also has cordage webbing loops that, when paired with a support rod or Zip poles, in the corners and along the longs sides that can assist in supporting the unit when it is uninflated, installed during strong or gusty winds, or is attached to multiple Xhaust units to form a Super Xhaust. To form a Super Xhaust the Xhaust 2 is also equipped with multiple zippers that , in addition to allowing the user to attach multiple units, it further allows the user to reduce the size of the unit for openings smaller than 48″/120cm.
All windows benefit from a line up that is compatible with any style window and of any size all while remaining compatible with airflows as low as 250 cfm up to 2000 cfm. In addition to this wide ranging compatibility, because of the redesigned air interface it is possible to connect to virtually any size and style of ducting that you may need to use. In particular the air interface connects incredibly well to 12″ and 10″ lay flat and rigid/semi rigid ducts of 12″ or less.
Seal and Control Doorways
The AIRWALL X is designed specifically to seal off doorways for residential 80″ doors.
It is further equipped with a job packet that attaches to the front of the X. The job packet is there for MSDS sheets, job status reports, permits, etc. The X is easily identified by the large X across the front that warns people to not enter. It currently does this in English and Spanish but if special language requirements are needed then special orders are possible.
The X also has a utility pocket for straps or anything else that the user wishes. The X has two vent ports on the front and on the back side of the unit. This allows the user versatility when choosing between passive, active or negative air containment.
Each X has zippers along the sides that allow the user to adjust the unit for narrower doorways as well as attach multiple AIRWALL X’s to each other for double doorways, patio sliders, etc. The X is also equipped with an extra long intake tube for maximum versatility on the job site.
The X is especially well suited to local containment solutions for mold abatement because in that setting there is no need for a decon chamber or make-up air filtration. It is additionally well suited for carpet cleaning with a truck mount. Keep the heat, the cool, the cat, the dog and the kids inside while you run your hoses past this impressive barrier.
Sound Mitigation and Control
Often the biggest complaint on a restoration job is the noise. The machines, the laborers and the tools make the process difficult to bear for the resident. There is a reason that they shut the equipment off in the middle of the night. Here is a meaningful way to address it. Fan manufacturers can only quiet the machines so much because even if the motors were silent, moving air makes noise. AIRWALL NEXUS is like hearing protection for the construction zone. One barrier is capable of blocking 15 db and two barriers can add up to 25.
Adaptive Sealing in the Crawlspace Attic space
The Attic is a space well served by the Xpress. It is useful even if you have to drop the lid in a structure because you still have to dry the bones of the building even with the insulation and drywall gone. In this application you would simply put a piece of 6 mil where the drywall was and then complete the chamber with the Xpress. You could also use the Xpress in this space for mold remediation and negative air. You could also complete a chamber in the space below the lid with a combination of AIRWALL NEXUS’.
Adaptive Sealing in the Crawlspace
The AIRWALL Xpress and Max were originally invented for the crawl space environment. The 12 individual “towers” on the top of the units allow for maximum adaptability where the ceiling is unpredictable because of the structure itself, like floor joists, and the infrastructure of the building, like HVAC, sewer, electrical, water pipes, etc. The Xpress and Max can be stacked, inverse stacked (common for attic), curved, shorted, connected in an “L” or “U” configuration to form a chamber where only 1 or 2 natural barriers exist, and connected end to end when 12’/3.5m is not enough. These units can be brick stacked and used for passive, active and negative containment. The user can attach poly tube extensions to the 5 standard 6″/13cm vent ports, roll them up and then roll the AIRWALL unit itself for easy deployment in especially tight spaces.
The AIRWALL® Flex Seal
Proper negative air containment stipulates that the critical barriers be sealed off. This is the obvious stuff like the HVAC system and the not so obvious stuff like the light switches and wall outlets. If it is important to seal off a light switch then how much more important it is to seal off a flood cut. These huge openings can dramatically affect the ability to achieve the correct negative air numbers and more importantly they are essentially a superhighway of contamination. The Flex Seal was designed with this in mind, in a package that has little impact on the available real estate in your truck and with labor savings that is difficult to comprehend. Something that can take 2-6 minutes per bay reduced to 2-6 seconds per bay…think about that.
