MatrixAir FlushMount1000 Flush-Mount Smoke Eater — 850 CFM

MatrixAir's best-selling unit. Sits flush in a 2×4 drop-ceiling grid so only the grille shows, and needs just 13 inches of clearance above the tiles. 850 CFM.

Triple filtration, not an electrostatic cell

Every MatrixAir unit runs the same three stages: a polyester pre-filter for the coarse load, activated carbon for odor and gas, and MatrixAir's Proprietary High Efficiency (PHE) pleated media, which the manufacturer rates at 90–95% of particles down to 0.3 microns. Nothing to wash: all three stages are disposable, and a one-year supply is in the box.
