The BuildClean™ Dust Control System is proving itself an invaluable tool for commercial contractors because it eliminates their top remodeling problem: construction dust that overtakes the building, causing potential health issues and making it “unlivable” during the project. Available nationwide, the BuildClean system eliminates airborne dust that results from demolition, sanding and other standard remodeling tasks.

BuildClean removes up to 90 percent of the airborne dust generated in the remodeling process, which minimizes the migration of dust and preserves building functionality even in the most challenging remodeling projects. The system is ideal for commercial and MRO projects in smaller work spaces, one-two man projects, jobs near computers or other sensitive equipment, and for projects in schools or medical facilities.

“The BuildClean System addresses the No. 1 issue that clients, tenants and contractors share during remodeling projects – construction dust,” said Brian Paich, Business Manager for ITW BuildClean. “Failure to control dust can cause occupant health issues, damage equipment, and harm a company’s reputation. With BuildClean, building managers, tenants and contractors can be assured that good indoor air quality is being preserved.” 

About 82 percent of remodeling contractors surveyed by BuildClean said, “Leaving less dust behind would likely improve overall satisfaction of customers.” Of the clients surveyed, 85 percent confirmed this belief and 68 percent noted that they dread remodeling dust. 

In occupied spaces, remodeling and demolition dust can trigger asthma attacks, allergic reactions and problems for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In addition, particles from demolition, scraping and sanding can contain hazardous materials such as arsenic, silica or lead. 

“BuildClean has already transformed the residential remodeling segment by containing and eliminating airborne dust and consequently improving homeowner quality of life during a project,” Paich said. “The unit is now being used by contractors working in enclosed rooms, offices or spaces within occupied industrial environments, commercial and multi-unit residential buildings for the same reasons – it captures dust before it migrates throughout a building and disturbs occupants.”

The system, which can exchange the air in a 6,000-cubic-foot room six times in one hour, draws air in through two particle-trapping filters, and returns clean air into the space. BuildClean’s 360-degree design and two-stage filtration system helps maximize coarse and fine particle collection on the jobsite.
