Excuse me .. what it merv means. ....?

...Griffen, he was the original o.g, the triple diple o.g, the double o. capital .g, the Ompa Oprah talk show host of his time! HEEEERRRRRRREEEEE'SSSSS...MERV!! I'm just kidding! It stands for; "Minimum Efficiency Rating Value" There are 1-16 ratings with "1" being the worst and " 16" of course being the best! I tend to get the MERV11 in a 4" thick pleated filter because it traps everything I'm most worried about like dust, mites, pet dander, bacterias, allergic pollen and when my daughter cooks or burns something in the oven, kitchen smoke! Keeping all that "sheet" out of the distribution process of hot/cold air being deposited throughout the many registers in my house not only protects my family, but it helps to prolong the system and house by keeping it all clean and dust free!! Don't skimp when it comes to selecting that MERV rated filter or you may end up replacing more than just the filter. Read the specs on the system you own to be sure you're using the correct size filter and change it every six months or less depending on your environment.

does this product contain any fiberglass and can it be used in mask filtration?

The N95 masks are the equivalent to a MERV 16. Our MERV 13 filters are made with a 100% synthetic filter media with a wire backing glued in a cardboard frame. There are no harmful materials in the MERV 13 media itself. If you use the media it will not filter as small of a partical as the N95 but it help filter out 1.0–0.3 μm particle size. These filters can filter bacteria, droplet nuclei (sneeze), cooking oil, most smoke and insecticide dust, most face powder, and most paint pigments.

How many pleats per foot?

The more pleats the larger the surface area of the filter media=less airflow restriction. I just received they look more like a "basic" inexpensive filter. For comparison: These Areostar MERV 13 - 1 inch per pleat Filtrete MERV 12- .25 inch per pleat Filtrete MERV 11- .75 in per pleat These are a lot less expensive, but they look like an inexpensive filter. The MERV rating is rubber stamped on it. I think I'll be sending them back.

A great bang for your $$

What a bargain, I found this item as a 6 pack and at a great price! So far the quality appears to be the same as other brands that I have tried! I would highly recommend these especially if you can get them in a package of 6 for less than $30 dollars.

Best Quality Filters – Perfect Fit!

I’ve been using these Aerostar 12x12x1 MERV 11 filters for the last 5 years, and they are the best quality I’ve found. The size fits perfectly every time, and they do a great job keeping out dust, pollen, and allergens. Reliable, durable, and worth it — I won’t use anything else!

They work

The price of these things kills me, but this is better than a lot. I live in the country close to a gravel road, so the dust here is horrible. I clean or change these monthly and they seem to do the job quite well.
