Choosing Cleanroom Doors & Ceilings
Cleanroom door selection is an interesting topic because from a cleanliness standpoint, the decisions are somewhat easy. In a pharmaceutical environment you’re concerned about cracks or crevices in the door and how microbial growth can result from that. But the decision process for a cleanroom door is more influenced by what you need from the entry and exit of people, personnel and materials, than on how a door relates to the cleanliness level.
So what really is required in making the decision on what type of door to use is having flexibility. One of the great things about our variety of wall systems is the ability to mix and match door requirements with wall and ceiling systems. This allows you to make a decision on the door that you need, instead of basing it on the type of cleanroom system that you have.
Making a decision on ceiling systems, like the wall systems, is dictated by what your cleanliness classification is and what you’re worried about from a cleaning agent standpoint. But then you have to add one more factor to that, which is how much weight the ceiling will need to support.
Commonly with pharmaceutical clean room systems, you’ll want to use panelized ceiling systems that minimize the amount of available cracks and crevices to prevent microbial growth. In most other cleanroom systems you’ll be going with a T-bar ceiling. Determining the type of T-bar ceiling you use depends on the cleanliness classification and the weight of the ceiling. In most instances, the default system turns out to be a 2-inch rod hung ceiling, like the common ceiling system.
