ZipWall – the perfect dust containment solution

Zipwall 1

Dust containment – one of the biggest problems on all work sites and one constantly overlooked with many repercussions.

The ZipWall dust containment barrier system in our opinion is one of the best and most efficient dust barrier systems around. ZipWall allows the ability to create a tight seal at the walls and ceilings to contain the dust inside the job area, leaving the rest of the jobsite spotless.

Let us break down how ZipWall dust barriers really work –

Zippole Kits – 

Zippole Kits either come in a 2 or 4 pole kit which includes spring-loaded poles to secure a dust barrier up to 3m high and 9m wide. Strong and lightweight stainless steel construction. Innovative non-skid, non-marking head and plate. This kit includes 2 or 4 poles with parts (heads, plates, and GripDisk™ non-slip pads), two self-adhesive zippers with flap hooks, and a carry bag.

Each spring-loaded pole takes seconds to set up without a ladder. The innovative non-skid, non-marking head locks the barrier material onto the pole, allowing it to be raised with the pole, and holds it securely in place without damaging the ceiling. A tight dust barrier can be set up in just a few minutes, one pole at a time, without ladders, tape, or damage.

Four poles can be used to create a dust barrier up to 3m high and 9m wide, or a three-sided room-within-a-room.

Key features

  • Spring-loaded design for quick, easy, and safe setup
  • Strong and lightweight stainless steel construction
  • Telescope up to 10′ 3″ (from 4′ 2″)
  • Innovative non-skid, non-marking head and plate
  • Each pole weighs just 1.5 lb
  • GripDisks™ prevent sliding on smooth floors
  • Work with positive and negative air

Tips for setting up a dust barrier

  • When using plastic, cut it to size ahead of time.
  • Set up the barrier one pole at a time starting at the wall. Leave the plastic loose at the bottom and make sure the spring at the top of the pole is not compressed all the way.

Once ALL poles are in place, do the following:

  • Tuck the plastic under each pole.
  • Place a GRIP DISK on the floor under the pole.
  • Compress the spring at the top of each pole all the way up.

IMPORTANT: Placing a GripDisk™ non-skid pad under each pole ensures the barrier will stay securely in place even on smooth floors or when used with negative air pressure.

Applications for ZipWall dust barrier poles

The ZipWall® dust barrier is used for dust protection in remodeling, renovation, restoration, painting, drywall, flooring, demolition, concrete cutting, sanding, and any interior job that generates dust. Beyond construction, the ZipWall® barrier system is widely used for abatement, mold remediation, water damage or flood restoration, and other interior jobs where contaminants in the dust are a concern. Another driver for the use of ZipWall® barriers is OSHA’s new Silica Rule for Construction which requires the implementation of dust controls.

Heavy users of ZipWall® products include professional contractors – general contractors and tradesmen – and facility managers. ZipWall® barriers can be found in healthcare facilities, hospitality and retail spaces, manufacturing, government and education buildings, transportation and property management buildings, and of course, in the residential market where the ZipWall® system originated.
