Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2019I had seen these being used in businesses but had not looked at them closely. I was having some work done on my house after some flooding. The team came in and set these up while I was in my study. When I got ready to leave, I studied the inside of the 'door', unzipped it, and studied the outside. Air-tight, is a bit of an overstatement, dust tight is more realistic. The way they were set up was with painter's plastic sheets and tape. Based on my time spent in my study, they seemed very effective, much more effective than just closing the door, the door leaks at the top, bottom and all sides.
I was doing some work on my daughter's house and decided I needed some of these to keep the rooms that were done clean. So I ordered a set. That same day, while I was at the hardware store, I found a painter's canvas drop cloth with plastic on one side. It was 8 feet long and 4 feet wide. A light came on, the zippers are 84" if I cut the drop cloth in two, I would have two at 96". I bought the drop cloth, cut it down to 2 pieces 96" long, then split the center of the 4" to 86", leaving 5" on each end.
When the zippers arrived, I sewed them into the drop cloth, making sure the plastic covered over the zipper. The bottom 'tail' can be taped to the floor and the top 'tail' to the wall. When the zipper is closed, the tongue is at the bottom. When I am through with one door, I take down my cover, taking care to keep as much dust as possible trapped as I take it down. I take it outside, put it on my makeshift clothesline and sweep off the dust. Before I use it again, I blow it down with a leaf blower. The time invested in making these has been recouped, I have used each of them at least 4 times each. The money invested, well time is money, I am ahead of the game.
