Layered filtration technology with rugged cabinets for HVAC
High performance filtration, plus rugged media air cleaner cabinets
Ultravation® ProgressiveMedia filter cabinets are ready to integrate with any HVAC installation, making the way for Ultravation® hypo-allergenic, 5-inch, high performance, layered-strand filtration. Designed in three configurations in standard sizes with versatile panels to create a proper fit for any HVAC air handler or furnace.
Built to last: Ultravation manufactures the cabinets that house ProgressiveMedia™ filters to the same quality standards as our high-performance filter media. Built with 100% U.S. origin, galvanized steel and painted with a rugged powder-coat finish.
Built to meet or exceed Industry standards: All Ultravation® ProgressiveMedia™ Air Cleaners have been tested using ANSI / ASHRAE 52.2-1992 standard test procedures.
Made in USA: Sturdy design manufactured in our Vermont facilities.
Included: MERV 11 or MERV 13 rated filter cartridges Learn more about MERV
Warranty: All ProgressiveMedia cabinets come with a ten-year warranty.
Straight-through conventional design installs in the same way as a typical 1-inch furnace filter.

Traps 99% of pollen! Captures particulates as small as .3 microns
ProgressiveMedia™ filters are efficient, long-lasting and highly practical. Their pleated, layered design has nine times more surface area than a traditional flat air filter. And while they might look typical, they are technologically advanced, with Ultravation® UltraStrand™ hypoallergenic fibers that are uniquely shaped and electrostatically charged to attract particles. Their layered construction that gradually increases fiber density through the filter enables smaller particle capture and high efficiency over an extended life that lasts 6 months to a year in a typical household environment.
Advanced filter design captures an ultra-wide range of indoor air pollutants
Each filter has almost 30 sq ft of pleated, high-capacity filter media.
The layered, increasing density construction collects contamination through the complete filter, large to small — instead of simply piling debris up on the leading edge.
Why choose ProgressiveMedia™ MERV filters over flat furnace filters and electronic air cleaners?
Ultravation® ProgressiveMedia™ provides high-efficiency cleaning as soon as it is installed. Then, over a minimum life span of six months, will require no maintenance and steadily improves in efficiency as it fills.
Electronic Air Cleaners are velocity dependent and lose the ability to capture particles as blower speed is increased and as the plates become coated. Unlike media filters, they do not gain in efficiency during use, and some need to be cleaned as often as every 40-50 hours in the dishwasher to maintain adequate efficiency.
Flat furnace filters only offer good particle capture efficiency very late in their typical 30-day life span. They have low holding capacity and fill quickly requiring replacement purchases at least six times more often.
Improving indoor air quality: Airborne contamination comes in ALL SIZES!
Core features of ProgressiveMedia™ filters
Easy, practical and worry free: The HVAC system circulates the air through the ProgressiveMedia™ filter cartridge to collect particles and clean the air without electricity, ozone generation, or the frequent maintenance required with electronic and other-design air filters.
Almost 30 sq ft hypo-allergenic, layered filter media: That’s how much filter is folded into a ProgressiveMedia™ five-inch pleated filter cartridge. Long life, exceptional dirt holding capacity.
UltraStrand™ fibers with electrostatic charge: UltraStrand™ fibers are hypo-allergenic, continuous, 100% synthetic and have a permanent electrostatic charge that attracts and traps very small particulates in the tiny grooves, edges and pockets.
99% efficiency on particle capture 5 microns or larger: Pollen is easily captured with ProgressiveMedia™. Many other irritants such as mold and dust mite allergen are removed from the airstream as well—not to mention lots of dust and dirt!
Very low HVAC airstream resistance: Ultravation ProgressiveMedia air filters earn high MERV ratings for particulate capture yet have the low air flow resistance of much lesser filters. ProgressiveMedia MERV 11 filters only impede the air flow at the rate of a typical MERV 8 filter. ProgressiveMedia MERV 13 filters have the air flow resistance of a typical MERV 11 filter.
Fewer trips to the landfill: Filters cartridges can last from six months to a full year!
UltraStrand™ fibers with electrostatic charge
ProgressiveMedia™ filters feature Ultravation® UltraStrand™ shaped fibers, that enable the filter to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns (MERV 13) very effectively, and it is an important element to the filter’s high efficiency, long life and small particle performance.
UltraStrand™ fibers are hypo-allergenic, continuous, 100% synthetic and have a permanent electrostatic charge that attracts and traps very small particulates in tiny grooves, edges and pockets.
Option: Ultravation Orion ionization can increase filter capture of minute particles while freshening the air
Capture the microcscopic particulates of smole and freshen the air when include an Ultravation® Orion™ air ionizer with your IAQ improvements. Learn More!
ProgressiveMedia is available in two performance ratings: MERV 11 / MERV 13
Ultravation® ProgressiveMedia™ filters are available in MERV 11 and MERV 13 performance ratings. The higher the rating, the more efficient the filter is at capturing smaller particles. MERV means Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value.
It is the industry standard filter performance rating system created by The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
MERV 11 performance standard provides 85% efficiency for particles 3 to 10 microns in size. Pollen and mold can be as small as 10 microns. Ultravation ProgressiveMedia filters lead the field in low air-flow restriction.
MERV 13 performance standard provides 90% capture efficiency for particles 3 to 10 microns in size. MERV 13 filters also capture 75% of particulates as small as 0.3 microns –10 times smaller (tobacco smoke particles fall in the 0.3 range). Despite the better particle collection, Ultravation MERV 11 and MERV 13 filters have the same lifespan of up to 1 year.
