Facts About Commercial Aluminum Mesh Filters

Commercial aluminum mesh filters are used in heating, ventilation, and cooling systems. These filters are highly durable and sturdy, and are meant to last a long time with proper care and use. Most commercial aluminum mesh filters are made from an aluminum mesh pad suspended between filter frames. The pad itself is comprised of multiple layers of aluminum, expanded and flattened thin, then bonded together into pads. Because the layers of commercial aluminum mesh filters are made from expanding different widths of metal, they create a baffle effect. As air passes through the filter, these aluminum baffles can filter out airborne particles. Why use a metal mesh filter pad instead of another material? Metal is a better choice in harsh environments. Many outdoor filters use a metal mesh system like commercial aluminum mesh filters because they can withstand the elements over time. Aluminum can corrode, but it doesn’t rust like other metals.   The pad itself is then mounted inside a heavy-duty metal frame. Common frame materials include aluminum and galvanized steel, both metals that can take the changing temperatures and heavy use of these filters. In commercial environments, this results in a sturdy filter that needs fewer replacements than other types of commercial filters. Commercial aluminum mesh filters can be brushed clean or removed and cleaned professionally.
