Q. Can you use the floor film on carpet?
A. No, the adhesive for the floor protection film is made specifically for hard surfaces and does not have the proper adhesive to adhere nicely to carpet.
Q. Can you use carpet film for the hard surfaces?
A. No, the carpet film adhesive is too aggressive for hard surfaces and we recommend the use of our hard surface film only for that application.
Q. If the carpet is glued down, how long should I wait until I apply the film to the surface?
A. We recommend 72 hours, as specified by the glue manufacturers who state that it takes at least 72 hours for the glue to cure. A warmer environment or humidity can extend the length of cure time for the glue. We recommend that you test the moisture level of the glue before applying the film.
Q. Is the use of an applicator necessary?
A. For the larger sized rolls, such as the 36-inch or wider, we recommend that you use an applicator. The applicator allows one to apply the film more quickly, therefore decreasing labor time. The use of the applicator also allows one to apply the film more smoothly for better adhesion. We also recommend it for the 24' width but it is not necessary.
Q. Does the window film need tape to the hold the film in place?
A. On indoor applications, tape is not necessary. For outdoor applications we do recommend using tape due to wind, weather and other environmental factors.
Q. Does the Temporary Wall System come with poly?
A. No, we do not include regular poly with our Wall System.
Q. Is the film reusable?
A. No, it is for one time use only. After the allotted time, replace the film with another application of film if necessary to keep the area protected for a longer period of time.
Q.What is the difference between the Value Film, Profilm and Premium Film?
A. The value film is for lighter foot traffic. The Profilm and Premium film are for heavier traffic, yet the ProFilm is for 30-day use and the Premium Film is for 45-day use.
Q. What is the difference between blue window film and clear window film?
A. The blue window film is for UV protection and is more frequently used in areas where sunlight is more consistent
Q. What is the recommended space between poles? | |||
A. The poles can be spaced 10 to 12 feet apart if there is little or no air movement. The stronger the air movement - such as a site open to the outside - the closer the poles should be placed to one another. If there are strong gusts putting pressure on the plastic sheeting, you may need to bring them as close as five to six feet apart. | |||
Q. Plastic sheeting: Do ZipWall® products come with plastic Sheeting? | |||
A. ZipWall products do not include plastic sheeting because of the variety of sizes and thicknesses our customers require. You can usually find the plastic sheeting that is right for your job on the SPYCOR.com web-site, at paint stores, home centers, hardware stores and specialty stores in your area. | |||
Q. Plastic sheeting: What size roll should I buy? | |||
A. We recommend that you get plastic on a continuous roll that is long enough to reach from the beginning of the wall you are making to the end. With a continuous roll you will not have any breaks or seams that need to be sealed with tape. The width of the plastic should be at least a foot larger than the height of your ceiling where the wall will be installed. For example, if you have an eight foot ceiling, be sure your plastic is at least nine feet wide. | |||
Q. Plastic sheeting: What is the recommended plastic thickness? | |||
A. The keyhole-snapping feature of the head and plate will comfortably accept any plastic up to 8 mils thick. We suggest the use of the lightest plastic your application calls for. The lighter the plastic the easier it is to handle and the less expensive it is. Super light plastic sheeting (under 1 mil), can be hard to control. These super light plastics are generally so light and so full of static electricity that they want to cling to everything. | |||
Q. What is the ZipWall® jack? | |||
A. The jack is the red housing containing the spring and plunger that screws onto the top of the Kit 20 pole. It has two very important functions:
| |||
Q. How does ZipWall® system work with negative air? | |||
A. The ZipWall system was originally designed for applications using negative air and handles it very well. Because negative air creates pressure against plastic, it tends to tug on the poles. Thus, you may need to place the poles closer together. With moderate pressure you will find that 6 to 8 feet spacing between poles is a comfortable range. For very high pressure situations you may need to place the poles as close as four feet apart. | |||
Q. Can the ZipWall® poles be used outdoors? | |||
A. ZipWall requires a ceiling. Thus, it can be used on porches and balconies provided they have ceilings. It should not be used if there are high winds which can knock it down. This can cause damage and we suggest caution. | |||
Q. On what ceiling types does the ZipWall® system work best? | |||
A. It works on all types of ceilings, including plaster, drywall, textured or popcorn, and suspended. For suspended ceilings it is important that the plate (on top of the pole) be placed on the grid that holds the ceiling tiles in place. | |||
Q. What are the working height ranges of the SLP and the Kit 20? | |||
A. The working height range of the SLP (Spring Loaded Pole) is from 4'7" to 12', and for Kit 20 is from 6'9" to 21'. These heights include the jacks, which, when attached to the poles add another foot to their height. | |||
Q. What do the ZipWall® Poles and Jacks weigh? | |||
A. Each SLP weighs about 1.5 lbs. Each 20 foot pole and jack combination weighs 3 lb 6 oz. This light weight makes carrying multiple poles and jacks to and from the job site very convenient. | |||
Q. How much weight can the ZipWall® pole hold. | |||
A. The weight the poles and jacks can hold depends on the strength of the person tightening the pole, this includes the new SLP. The average person will twist the poles tight enough so the pole can hold 60 to 80 lbs. However, with a stronger tightening twist, a person can produce a hold of about 110 lbs. (Caution: Do not use for holding anything that could fall and cause injury or damage). |

PEROx air purifiers provide a multitude of benefits in a wide range of industries. PEROx PG machines are designed to be used effectively at abatement and remediation sites for odor, VOC, and mold control as well as sterilization after final clean-up. Our air purifiers may also be found in bio-contamination sites such as crime scenes, medical facilities, and lab environments to control virus and other dangerous biohazards.
PEROx air purifiers are a powerful tool at fire and flood restoration projects, mold abatement sites, and for control of VOC’s, odor and bio-contaminants. Highly portable PEROx PG units are designed to be connected by flex duct to the exhaust from OmniAire machines or to the intake side of any air mover. PEROX 1000 units contain an integrated 1000 CFM blower and can be set up and running in seconds. The PEROx purification process utilizes Ionized hydroperoxides oxidizer plasma, which rapidly sanitizes the air passing through and continues to seek bio-contaminants in surrounding air and on hard surfaces. Our portable units can safely operate in occupied areas and control odors during the restoration process and during the final cleanup.
The oxidizer plasma created in the PEROx air purifiers cell is made from oxygen and humidity in the air using a process called photo hydro ionization. Our process creates positively charged particles which both repel each other forcing distribution, and attract to surfaces making sanitizing hard to reach spaces more efficient. The ionized hydrogen peroxide disperses like a gas and attaches to all surfaces in the containment area destroying bio-contaminants immediately. Since these positively charged droplets are attracted to all surfaces PEROx technology is ideal for attacking odors at the source. Because ionized hydroperoxides are not affected by temperature or humidity, PEROx air purifiers can be used in a wide range of applications and environments.
