Description
When your HVAC system calls for a 38-3/8 x 32-3/8 x 1″ filter and the standard aisle doesn’t carry it, this Exact Filters® unit is cut to your exact 38-3/8 x 32-3/8 x 1″ spec — no shims, no gaps, no bypass air.
Filter bypass — air slipping past a loose frame instead of through the pleats — is one of the most common reasons a filter underperforms its MERV rating in the real world. A precise fit closes that gap.
MERV 13 is the top efficiency offered in the Exact Filters® line. It captures the broadest range of airborne particles we make, including fine dust, smoke particles, and the submicron fraction that carries many allergens and bioaerosols. Buildings dealing with wildfire smoke, indoor air-quality concerns, or sensitive occupants commonly step up to this rating.

Common applications for a 38-3/8 x 32-3/8 x 1″ custom filter include retrofit installations, legacy HVAC systems installed before standard sizes were codified, built-in return grilles that were framed to non-standard dimensions, and commercial unit housings that don’t match any current off-the-shelf size.
