Tile Gasket products are intended for those looking to improve the traditional effectiveness of a MDF downdraft set-up. These tiles eliminate vacuum leak by sealing roughly 95% of the board with a closed-cell gasket sheet. Then the remaining 5% surface area has a gasketed 1/4 hole to create a vacuum with. Tiles are offered individually or in sets based on 4'x 8' layouts, 5' x 10' layouts, 5' x 12' layouts and more. Each tile measures 24" x 24", with an adhesive backing. These tiles are intended to stick directly to the surface a Universal Downdraft Spoilboard. Each tile contains 650 individual 1/4" holes. These holes produce a vacuum clamp on a sheet, while also limiting vacuum loss as it seals the spoilboard.
The question customers ask most often is how long does one set last? That depends on the operator. It is very important to read over the application notes. The Z depth adjustment is the biggest factor. When the Z depth is adjusted with care a user can maximize the longevity of the tiles for hundreds of operating hours.
Application Notes are included with each order. They can also be downloaded off of our Resource Page here:
