ZIPWALL ZipDoor ZDM Magnetic Door Kit, 1 Pack, White

Very easy to work with, so much easier than zippers

I needed to install a dust barrier because my bedroom wall was being demolished and replaced so I purchased four zip wall poles. I made the mistake of buying a cheaper version of the magnetic door, not the zip wall brand. It was too heavy and unwieldy so I returned it. The zip wall door is worth the extra money. It went up exactly like the instruction said and the tool that they give you is exactly what you need to cut the plastic. The double sided tape has held up now for four days. The magnets are the only way to go .

Over all the the door served the purpose it was intended to serve. It provided a clean and efficient opening to enter and exit the separately ventilated work space. It opened an resealed the air space consistently. The magnetic seam opening sealed good keeping the air space separated . However concern was the weight of the magnets. It created constant down pressure or you could excessive gravity stress on the rest of the plastic vapor barrier wall. Also had to several feet of duct to help support the 2 way tape that was provide with the kit. Also let me add they were 10 foot cravings.The only thing I would suggest is lighter magnets with the same holding strangth.

Holds dust very well. Tape seems strong. Zippers are large and work well. Great item that is ready to protect a door out of the bag with all parts in the kit.UPDATE double sided tape began to fall off of wall after 3 weeks.

I work in a hospital setting and noted that whenever construction was working on an area they used Zipwalls to keep the dust under control. So, when I had a home project to do I decided to order one on-line. We refinished our hardwood floors in one bedroom and used this to wall off the bedroom for sawdust and fume control. It was fantastic! I did reinforce the edges with painters tape, not because there was a problem, but just because I wanted to be extra sure all the sawdust didn't get all over my house. I also rolled up a towel and weighed down the bottom edge when we were done for the day. I have lived through this type of home project before, without a Zipwall, and the difference was night and day. I highly recommend getting a Zipwall as it's worth its weight in gold for sawdust control.

I used this to cordon off part of my house as a quarantine measure, not for construction, but I was none the less impressed. The plastic is strong, the zippers are sturdy. I used the double stick tape provided, around the edge of the door trim. It’s very strong and I fear I will have a mess when I remove it. But the trim could use painting anyway so I’m not too concerned. I would not trust the tape long term on the wall. It’s very strong. If I use this again for construction I would probably raise it up in the doorway so that the bottom just touches the floor a little bit, rather than a foot of plastic lying on the floor ( see picture) but for my purposes it didn’t matter. If you taped the side edges down to the floor for even better dust sealing , I think you could still go in and out using just one zipper. If you had to take things in and out you might zip up both zippers.If your doorway is wider than the plastic you would have to work something out with adding plastic to the sides. Mine is just over 4 feet and there is extra plastic.In all this works great.

Install this today. Can’t say anything about longevity, but the zippers look decent. The included tape is useless as it does not stick to poly 🙄

We were getting demo work (drywall cut out and replaced) done in our garage, and then we had the garage floor epoxied. This required that the previous epoxy be ground off the garage floor with sanders. Unfortunately, our garage entry door opens right into our family room, so we wanted something to keep the dust out of the house. The Zip Door worked great. My husband and I hung it with 2 inch wide painters tape (3m Brand with Edge Lock). We doubled the tape on all sides and also added vertical "straps" of the tap at the top of the door. The Zip Door stayed up with no problems, but I did run my hand over the tape to reseal it every morning. The plastic is nice and thick and the zippers are good quality. Now, to be forewarned, we did not "unzip" the Zip Wall and go in/out of this door multiple times. We did occasionally use the door, but this was more of a barrier. I am not sure if the painters tape would keep the Zip Door up with frequent comings and goings. But, I was scared to use the provided double sided tape on painted walls - I figured that the provided tape could tear the drywall in the family room. Overall this is a really nice product, and I plan on reusing it in the future when we get our bathroom redone.
