Choosing the right air filter doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re running a car body shop, a cleanroom, or a commercial kitchen, having the right filtration system is critical for your team, your equipment, and the quality of your final product. At
Bespoke Filters, we make it easy to find a quality air filter that matches your business needs and goals. We supply the largest range of high-performance filters for a variety of industries and applications, and are more than happy to talk you through it.
Here’s your no-fuss guide to selecting the right air filter based on your industry and application.
Car Body Shops & Spray Booths
In spray booths and autobody shops, your main concerns are clean air, fume control, and flawless finishes. Paint overspray, chemical vapours, and dust can ruin your work and create safety risks.
Recommended Filters:
- Overspray Capture: Procart or Profibre Paintstop filters in your extraction system to trap paint particles.
- Air Intake: Pleated Panel filters help remove fine dust before it settles on freshly painted surfaces.
- Airflow Distribution: Install filters in the ceiling to ensure clean air is evenly distributed across the booth.
- Odour & Fume Control: Carbon filters neutralize VOCs and chemical smells.
- Premium Finishing: For ultra-clean air and professional-grade finishes, HEPA filters are ideal.
Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities
For most industrial environments, the goal is to protect machinery, reduce airborne dust, and keep air safe for your team.
Recommended Filters:
- General Use: Pleated Panel filters are great for capturing everyday dust and debris.
- High Volume Systems: Bag filters offer a higher surface area and longer service life for larger HVAC setups.
- Precision Applications: For industries like electronics or aerospace, HEPA filters provide high-efficiency particle removal, ensuring cleaner air, compliance with standards, and reduced equipment maintenance.
Cleanrooms, Laboratories & Medical Settings
In sterile environments, air purity isn’t optional - it’s essential. Contamination can lead to major setbacks or health risks.
Recommended Filters:
- Primary Filtration: HEPA filters are a must, removing 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns.
- System Longevity: Use pre-filters like Pleated Panels or Bag filters to capture larger particles and extend the lifespan of your HEPA filters.
- Special Environments: For HEPA NPUs or specialized clean areas, we offer pre-filters tailored to those systems.
Commercial Kitchens & Food Prep Areas
In kitchen spaces, the focus is on controlling grease, odours, and maintaining hygiene.
Recommended Filters:
- Grease Control: Start with Baffle or Mesh filters. Our Dual Premium grease filters combine both for superior grease capture and fire protection.
- Odour Management: Carbon filters eliminate lingering food smells and VOCs from cooking.
- Airborne Dust: Panel filters help reduce general dust and particles in the air.
Together, these filters create a cleaner, safer kitchen environment for staff and customers alike.
How to Choose: A 3-Step Method
- Define Your Goal: Are you targeting dust? Paint overspray? Fumes? Grease? Or another pollutant? Each requires a different filtration quality, method, and material so by understanding what you are wanting to be rid of it is easy to assign a filter to your needs.
- Identify the Filter Location: Are you filtering intake air? Exhaust air? Or recirculated air? Placement matters. Again, this will largely impact which filter would work in your system as well as how and where to install it.
- Match Filter to Outcome: The right combination depends on your industry, system setup, and the quality standard you need to meet. If you have a good idea of how you want your system to look or work, or what you want to achieve with it, we can help you assign the exact filtration for you.
