Description
Exact Filters® produces this 38-3/8 x 36-3/8 x 1″ filter to your measurements, so instead of trimming, taping, or forcing a “close enough” size into place, you drop in a filter that fits your 38-3/8 x 36-3/8 x 1″ slot the first time.
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.
This MERV 13 pleated filter is the highest-efficiency option we produce in the Exact Filters® custom-size line. It’s commonly chosen by allergy-sensitive households, buildings in wildfire-smoke regions, healthcare and education facilities, and anyone wanting the deepest particulate capture we offer.

The 38-3/8 x 36-3/8 x 1″ dimension is one of the many non-standard sizes we make on demand, serving both retrofit installations in older homes and light-commercial properties where the return housing dates to an older era of HVAC construction.

- Made to your exact 38-3/8 x 36-3/8 x 1″ specification — no trimming or taping required at installation
