Zipwall Dust Barrier Pole Length
Zipwall LLC. of Cambridge Massachusetts announces that its award-winning dust control barrier system is now available in 20 foot pole length., This length will be offered in addition to the company’s standard 12 foot length. Fredrick Eckoff, Staff Director of Building Maintenance at a major New York bank has purchased 36 units and notes, “ZipWall is a quantum leap better than any other dust barrier product out there. It saves us a lot of time and money.” The product was recently honored by Building Products Magazine (May 1998) as one of the “Top 10 Products of 1998.”
ZipWall has been bailed by builders, painters, floor refinishers, maintenance workers and do-it-yourselfers searching for a simple and effective method to control dust. Jeff Whittmore of Arlington, Massachusetts, Boston Magazine’s “1997 Best of Boston - Floor Refinisher,” developed the idea in response to a particularly difficult worksite configuration. He needed to devise a dust barrier for a house with large, open spaces, without damaging the home’s floors or ceilings. Jeff accepted the job, scheduling it four months in the future, determined to solve the dust containment problem by that time.
Sensing a very broad-based need for such a product, Whittemore spent countless hours envisioning the ideal dust control system. It needed to be flexible enough to accommodate variously-sized spaces; lightweight and portable; easy-to-assemble and virtually air-tight. Before ZipWall, contractors could expect to spend at least half a day constructing some cumbersome and haphazard dust barrier, often times damaging a wall or ceiling in the process.
Consider the advantages of the ZipWall dust control barrier systems:
- The ZipWall system consists of two telescoping, twist-lock ZipWall poles topped with the patented ZipWall jack.
- The ZipWall jack locks the screening material firmly against the ceiling with a special slip-resistent lock plate, mounted on a ball-joint assembly. The foot of the pole keeps it snug along the floor.
- The work area may be screened off with inexpensive plastic sheeting, light canvas tarp or drop cloth. Stretch the screening material tightley from one pole to the next to create a smooth neat-looking wall.
- One person can construct a 20 foot long ZipWall dust barrier in less than one minute.
- The barrier is virtually airtight.
- ZipWall poles are constucted of heavy duty aluminum.
- The patent pending Zipwall jack is made of the same polycarbonate “super plastic” used in making bulletproof glass.
- When constucting a plasitc wall, ZipWall can accommodated any thickness up to eight mils.
