When you call the main number at Proflex, a real person will pick up the phone and be happy to answer your questions, help you calculate your containment barrier needs or immediately direct your call to the appropriate person - no frustrating, automated phone / voicemail system - just real people looking forward to helping you any way they can.

Typically we deliver from stock. For larger orders our goal is to build and ship your order within 10 business days. Let us know what your expected time of delivery is and we'll do our best to accommodate.

The entire system has been designed to be quick and easy to assemble and disassemble in an intuitive way. Two people should be able to assemble a 4’ x 8’ anteroom in approximately 20 minutes.

• Determine and sketch the area you want to contain. • Measure the length of each leg of the wall system - horizontally & vertically -and take into consideration the placement of doors and corners, etc. Proflex walls and doors width measurements are included in the part number. For example, our product #2012 is a 12” wide wall panel, #2018 is 18” wide, etc. The wider walls have the lowest cost per foot of coverage, while the narrower sizes are more versatile and easier to handle and store. Before ordering we recommend you consult with us to verify your design and calculations - we are eager to help you determine the most secure, economical configuration for your containment needs.

We offer a standard 3 x 8 Anteroom as a popular package, but since each job's specifications and requirements are unique, our components are sold individually so we can customize exactly what you need for your situation.

The door opening is 74” high. We also offer a 5” extension kit for situations where greater clearance is needed, but please note that you will need the ceiling height to be 98” minimum.

Yes, the benefit of working with Proflex is; because we are the manufacturer, we have the ability to help you by customizing the barriers to your needs.

We accept ACH, Checks and Credit card payments. Make checks payable to: “Michael A. Nuskey, LLC” and mail to 3 Humphreys Drive, Ivyland, PA 18974. To pay by credit card or for ACH instructions, call us at 215 322-2205 All credit card payments are subject to a 3% terminal charge.

Proflex has 6 wall panel widths that range from 1 to 4 feet wide and 3 different door widths that can be configured to accommodate a wide variety of spaces. We offer several options to fill any remaining space between your existing wall and the barrier system. 1 – Our Variable width Panel (P/N 2212) is used to fill any remaining odd sized or tapered gaps from 2 to 12 inches wide. The replaceable polycarbonate panels will require trimming on site. 2 – Our Coping Panel (P/N 3400) is an economical way to fill any remaining odd or tapered gaps. They can be cut to conform to any irregularities (conduit, chair rails, trim, etc.) where Proflex meets your existing wall. 3 – Our Flexihinge (P/N 2577) has the ability to “accordion” slightly to fit a narrow opening or to create a “dogleg” in the wall where needed.

Yes. We can design and build a ceiling system to match your layout and requirements.

A Tee Connector is a component used to add stability to the barrier structure in several ways: 1 – By connecting the top of the barrier walls and doors to the suspended ceiling grid. 2 – As an attachment point to the existing walls at the end of the run. 3 – As an anchor point for securing Proflex to the floor.

Plan to use 4 mini-clamps per joint between walls, 6 per rigid corner with corner posts, and 8 for each Flexihinge. It is always great to have a few spares as well.

ICRA is an acronym for Infection Control Risk Assessment. Proflex components are rated as ICRA 2.0 Class IV & V. For a specific ICRA matrix to help determine your containment needs see https://doh.sd.gov/documents/diseases/HAI/Meyer-Matrix.pdf(https://doh.sd.gov/documents/diseases/HAI/Meyer-Matrix.pdf)

ICRA 2.0 (Infection Control Risk Assessment) is an updated framework used by healthcare facilities to manage infection risk during construction, renovation, and maintenance activities. The process evaluates the type of construction work, the patient population at risk, and the level of containment required to prevent airborne contaminants from entering patient care areas. Under ICRA 2.0 guidelines, construction projects are typically classified into containment levels such as Class IV and Class V, which require the highest levels of environmental control. These high-risk classifications typically require: • Rigid, sealed containment barriers • Negative air pressure within the work zone • Controlled construction access points • Dust and airborne contaminant control The Proflex Barrier System was designed specifically to support these containment strategies, helping hospitals and contractors implement ICRA 2.0 Class IV and Class V containment protocols quickly and effectively.

Projects classified as ICRA 2.0 Class IV or Class V typically require rigid containment barriers that completely separate the construction zone from adjacent occupied areas. These barriers must: • Create a sealed physical separation • Support negative air pressure inside the work zone • Prevent dust migration and airborne contaminants • Maintain containment throughout the duration of construction Historically, many hospitals have used temporary stud-and-drywall walls to create this separation. However, drywall barriers are time-consuming to build, generate dust during installation, and produce waste when removed. The Proflex modular containment wall system provides a faster, cleaner alternative. Designed specifically for healthcare environments, Proflex barriers help project teams establish ICRA 2.0 Class IV and Class V containment zones quickly while maintaining strict infection prevention standards.

Under ICRA 2.0, controlling construction dust and airborne contaminants is critical to protecting vulnerable patients from healthcare-associated infections. Hospitals typically rely on several engineering controls, including: • Rigid containment barriers • Negative air machines • HEPA filtration • Controlled access points • Monitoring differential air pressure Containment barriers play a central role because they create the first line of defense between construction zones and patient care areas. The Proflex Barrier System was developed specifically for this purpose. Its modular design allows hospitals and contractors to quickly install professional-grade containment walls that support dust control, airflow management, and infection prevention protocols required by ICRA 2.0 Class IV and Class V projects.

While drywall barriers have historically been used for healthcare construction containment, they come with several drawbacks: • Long installation times • Noise and Dust generation during construction • Material waste during demolition • Single-use materials The Proflex Barrier System was engineered as a purpose-built containment solution for healthcare construction environments. Compared to traditional drywall barriers, Proflex systems offer: • Rapid installation and removal • Clean setup • Reusable modular panels • Professional appearance suitable for occupied healthcare facilities • Flexibility for changing construction layouts These advantages allow healthcare facilities to establish ICRA 2.0 Class IV and Class V containment zones more efficiently, while often exceeding the containment expectations of traditional temporary barrier methods.
