One of the most important considerations in an effective cleanroom environment is the quality and design of the cleanroom structure itself.
Knowing the ISO classification of your cleanroom may help with choosing the most suitable products.
Many different types of solutions are available. Your choice may be influenced by factors including classification, environment, flexibility or budget.
They are generally split up into these two product types:
Fully-flush
These are
high-end, modular cleanroom solutions tailored to your individual project requirements, delivered seamlessly by the technology experts.
- A fully-flush system will have integrated doors and windows without any ledges.
- Options will also be available to integrate services without the necessity for any plant on dado.
- You can also achieve a seamless floor to wall detail.
Generally, this would be called for in a cleanroom with an
ISO classification of 7 or better. The build method for a fully-flush system is progressive, which means the panels, doors, windows etc have to be installed in order as you build the wall.
At Kingspan, we offer a fully-flush option – UltraTech Precision.
Semi-flush
These are often a
more cost-effective solution for a lower grade cleanroom, typically seen in a Clean Not Classified or
ISO 8 cleanroom.
- Doors and windows will have a wraparound frame
- Services usually run around the room in plant trunking.
- The build method for a semi-flush system is non-progressive so you build the entire wall and then cut the openings for doors and windows, which means they can be installed retrospectively. This can be seen as time-saving as the doors and windows usually have a longer lead-time from the manufacturer.
At Kingspan, we offer a semi-flush alternative – UltraTech Versatile. We also offer the UltraTech Versatile Flush. You can read more about this in the accessories section below.
