Every day we hear about the importance of fresh air and the impact it has on our health and wellbeing. But we rarely think about the air we breathe in through our car ventilation system. The protection of the driver and vehicle occupants against pollen and bacteria requires the use of effective cabin air filters. This is because during the pollen season there are roughly 3,000 types of pollen in just one millilitre of air along with several microorganisms such as germs, bacteria, viruses, fungi, spores and other pathogens.

Pollen filters These filters will protect the vehicle occupants from contaminants such as pollen and fine dust and help protect the air conditioning system. Anti-bacteria filters In addition to the functions of the carbon filter, these filters will also neutralize allergens and bacteria. Active carbon filters These also have the same function as pollen filters but in addition they will also separate foul smells and harmful gases such as ozone, smog, and exhaust fumes. We supply the highest quality cabin filters with brands such as, Mann + Hummel, Mahle, Bosch, and Crosland, and all our filters comply with current BER (Block Exemption Regulations) standards.

What are the benefits of renewing air filters? Health: a high concentration of pollutants in the air can lead to fatigue, giddiness, headaches, nausea and allergic reactions. Pollen filters provide improved protection against pollens, dirt particles and offer additional protection against traffic-related and industrial fumes. Allergy protection: Our cabin filters offer allergy sufferers and asthmatics protection against airborne pollens. Comfort: A pollen filter provides protection against unwanted odours, e.g. from agricultural fertilisers, sewage plants, anti-freeze and cleaning additives in the windscreen washing water. Safety: cabin air filters help to ensure clear visibility and enhanced wellbeing for drivers and passengers, with concomitant improvements in driving safety. Hygiene: cabin air filters counteract soiling of the window’s inside surface, and any soiling of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Talk to your customers about upgrading their filters and the benefits to them and their passengers. Top Tip #1: Keep your customers safe: Cabin air filters should be replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles and even more often in high pollution areas. Top Tips #2: Save your customer money! Regular replacement of the filters can extend the lifetime of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
