BRUSH STRIP SEALS. The versatility of brush strip and ease of installation makes it particularly suitable for sealing difficult applications such as sliding, revolving, pivot and roll-up doors against smoke, odours, draughts, dust, insects and light, and for the retention of air conditioning. Brush strip sealing is recognised as solving draught problems where heavy-duty use is required in areas such as public transport applications. Tests have proven that minimal wear occurs with prolonged use to either brush or contact surfaces. Dense black nylon bristles are locked into a galvanised steel strip, which is then generally fitted into an aluminium holder. The aluminium holder will take all bristle lengths, and the adhesive PVC foam tape is standard on most aluminium holders.

The foundation for this [air conditioning] unit's toughness is our rugged base pan made from a rust-proof, composite material. Because it doesn’t rust, this high-tech base pan provides rust protection for the unit and, in the case of a rooftop installation, your roof. The base pan also features a sloped design with an integrated drain that minimizes standing water to reduce the potential for mold and bacteria growth.

Ideally, one should... be able to create an entire office layout by subdividing the space solely on the module lines and thus be automatically assured of all of the mechanical features necessary, all in proper measure and without disturbing the original installation.... one of the most successful modules in use today is the 5x5, or 25 square feet. To distribute and recirculate air in every module of this size requires optimum flexibility in partitioning, but is not necessary for efficient air conditioning.
