In the fast-paced world of construction and restoration, containment isn’t just a technical requirement—it’s a statement of professionalism, safety, and operational excellence. Traditional methods like plastic sheeting, tape, and poles are messy, time-consuming, and often ineffective. Enter AIRWALL® by Zeppelin Guys, a game-changing inflatable containment system designed to elevate your jobsite and streamline your workflow.
Whether you’re a general contractor, restoration specialist, or facilities manager, AIRWALL® offers a smarter, cleaner, and more efficient way to control dust, debris, and environmental hazards. In this article, we’ll explore how AIRWALL® works, why it outperforms legacy solutions, and how it can transform your business operations.
What Is AIRWALL®?
AIRWALL® is a patented, reusable containment system that replaces traditional barriers with inflatable, modular walls. Designed for rapid deployment and maximum flexibility, AIRWALL® products are ideal for:
- Interior demo and drywall cutting
- Mold remediation and asbestos abatement
- Water and fire damage restoration
- Healthcare and cleanroom containment
- Commercial renovations and tenant improvements
Unlike plastic sheeting and tape, AIRWALL® units inflate in seconds, seal tightly, and adapt to any space—no poles, zippers, or cleanup required.
Why Traditional Containment Falls Short
Before AIRWALL®, contractors relied on a patchwork of plastic, tape, and poles to create temporary barriers. These setups are:
- Time-consuming: Hours of labor to install and remove
- Wasteful: Single-use materials that end up in landfills
- Unreliable: Poor seals, frequent failures, and safety risks
- Unprofessional: Messy appearance that undermines client confidence
In contrast, AIRWALL® delivers a clean, branded, and high-performance solution that reflects your commitment to quality.

Here at Paul Davis, we use the latest technology and techniques to repair and restore the damage caused by fire & smoke damage. We treat contents such as carpets, art, clothing, drapery, furniture, and other items using sophisticated ozone equipment and thoroughly remove the stains and odors associated with smoke and other fire-related damage.
All Paul Davis offices are certified in Applied Structural Drying (ASD). ASD maximizes the removal of water from building materials using scientific methods and specialized equipment. This approach uses the proper combination of air movement, temperature control, humidity control and dehumidification to quickly remove moisture with little disturbance to the structure or contents. ASD allows us to save building materials (including drywall, carpets and padding) and, in most cases, dry affected areas in as few as 3 days.
