A dependable first stage
Protect downstream filters, equipment and indoor environments
Panel filters are widely used in commercial air-handling systems as pre-filters or final filters, depending on the construction and required filter grade.
System-matched performance
Select the filter grade and media construction around the actual application.
Multiple constructions
Pleated, flat-panel and specialist configurations across common frame types.
Dimensional support
Confirm face size and depth, including non-standard requirements.
Service options
Add fitting, chamber cleaning, disposal and planned replacement support.
Specification options
The information needed for an accurate quote
An accurate quote starts with the installed system, operating conditions and the outcome the filter must achieve.
| Variable | Typical information to confirm |
|---|---|
| Filter grade | Required particulate efficiency and system role |
| Face dimensions | Height × width |
| Depth | Overall frame depth and installation clearance |
| Media construction | Pleated or flat media, selected for the application |
| Frame | Card, plastic or metal construction as required |
| Quantity and site | Current demand, delivery point and replacement plan |

Not sure what is fitted?
Start with what you can see
A label, face dimensions and frame depth are often a useful starting point. For larger or mixed estates, a site survey can create a clearer asset record.
Panel-filter questions
Useful answers before you specify
The right grade depends on the system role and the level of protection required downstream. A free site survey or the existing label, dimensions and application details help confirm the correct filter grade for your system.
Technical help without the hard sell
Send the panel-filter details you have
Dimensions, grade, quantity, site and a photograph of the existing label can help Maxi review the requirement.
