Dammvägg

Dammvägg is a Swedish term that translates to "dust wall" or "dust barrier." It refers to a temporary structure or partition erected to contain dust and debris generated during construction, renovation, or demolition activities. The primary purpose of a dammvägg is to prevent the spread of airborne particles from a work area into adjacent occupied spaces, public areas, or the external environment.

These barriers are commonly constructed from materials such as plastic sheeting, plywood, or specialized fabric membranes. They are typically sealed at the edges to ensure maximum containment. In some cases, dammväggar may be integrated with negative air pressure systems, utilizing fans to draw air out of the contained area and through HEPA filters, further enhancing dust control. The use of dammväggar is a crucial aspect of maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring the safety and comfort of building occupants and workers. They are also important for protecting sensitive equipment or materials from dust contamination. Regulatory bodies often mandate the use of such containment measures to comply with health and safety standards. The effectiveness of a dammvägg depends on its proper installation and maintenance throughout the duration of the dust-generating work.
