Zeppelin Guys Announces AIRWALL® Flex Seal™ – For Complete Enclosure During Flood Cuts

There are three types of containment, good, bad and theater.
The problem
- Good containment IS possible
- Bad containment is common
- Containment theater is more common than the first two combined
- High labor and materials costs
- Plastic, poles, tape, staples, adhesives and prayers…for decades

There really 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. These more advanced forms of containment use tape, poles, structural framework, staples, adhesives, etc. It is the ultimate achievement to eliminate these things but that has been simply out of reach. For decades containments have relied on consumable/disposables, require specially trained personnel, often require ongoing repairs and are often responsible for unnecessary collateral damage to the structure of finishes.
The solution
- High Performance
- Reliability by design
- Fast, easy and compact
- Efficiency through labor, energy and materials savings
- Physics over hardware because gravity always work

We offer products that can create ultra high performance containment in an entirely new way. Using air pressure from either a constant source like an air mover or NAM, or by inflating low pressure air bladdershoused 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 and "pop corn" or acoustic ceilingsAs a reusable, inflatable and modular ecosystem of products we estimate that AIRWALLS pay for themselves within 5-7 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!

The Xhaust Mini for small windows
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.
The Xhaust Mini for small windows
Smaller and 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 27"/69cm 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 1 also has cordage loops in the corners for added stability during strong or gusty winds.
The Xhaust 2 for Large Windows
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 28″/60cm to 48″/120cm. The Xhaust 2 also has cordage in the corners and along the long sides that can assist in supporting the unit when it is uninflated or installed during strong or gusty winds. The Xhaust 2 is also equipped with multiple zippers to allow the user to attach multiple units to each other or to reduce the size of the unit for
Seal and Control Doorways
The problem
- Plastic waste
- Tape that won’t stick
- Peeling paint and damaged mill work
- Excessive noise
- Zippers that jam and are never big enough
- Nosy customers
- Indoor climate stability
The Solution
- Reusable
- No zippers to ham
- Gentle on the building finishes
- Designed for residential 80″ doors from 26″ to 36″ wide
- Easy negative, positive or neutral air pressure containment
Gentle on the building finishes
Our products are like pillows on the buildings delicate surfaces. Wherever our products can damage the building they are durable but soft, wherever the building can damage our products, mostly in the form of sharps on the floors, we build them stronger.
No tape failures
Highly textured walls, oily paint, high humidity, bad tape or poor technique can all prevent proper adhesion. This can cause partial or complete failures of the containment and the consequences.
8 db of noise attenuation
Machines are loud, and occupants will turn them off to sleep. This completely stops the drying process. A barrier that reduces that sound encourages the building occupant to let the machines run and do their work.
Easy pass through
Easier than a zipper, a technician only needs to move the barrier aside to pass people, equipment or debris to the other side. In the case of larger items, like a bathtub for example, where the contactor would have to remove the traditional plastic barrier completely and the wither reconstruct it or try, often in vain, to reapply the barrier, the contractor can simply remove the AIRWALLX and reinstall with no loss in time or materials.
Discourages constructions tourism
Not only do the owners or occupants often wander through a working job site, endangering them and your crews, they also shut off equipment at night. This barrier discourages this more than a zipper.
Climate control for carpet cleaners
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 you houses past this impressive barrier.
Sound Mitigation and Control
The problem
- Restoration and construction processes are loud
- People turn off the machines to get sleep
- Costs soar with increases in demo and buildback
Drying takes much longer
If a homeowner shuts of the equipment for 8 hours, at night, then it will take 30-40 longer to dry the contents and structure. There are only 24 hours in a day so what should take 2 days will take 3, 4 days will take 6 etc. It’s a bad prospect for everyone involved.
The problem
- Sound attenuation from 8 to 25 db
Read more..
An AIRWALL X has been measured at 8 db attenuation, or similar to a high quality interior door. The AIRWALL NEXUS has been clocked in at 15db with and but if the user doubles the barrier then that number increases70% to 25db. For reference here is a video of us running a vacuum in a hallway and then adding one barrier and then two https://youtu.be/

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.
